ATC SCM19 V2 Recommendations.

I recently purchased a pair of ATC SCM19 speakers and I just wanted to pick some brains.

I am not interested in advice on different speakers or very expensive options.

I am recently retired, on a fixed income and buy mostly used.

What I would like to get is some options for speaker cables, speaker stands, speaker placement and synergy with my current components.

My room is 12' x 18' x 9' and the speakers need to be placed on the 18' wall.

My current setup includes the following:

Musical Fidelity M6si integrated (220 w @ 8 ohms)

Tellurium Black speaker cables

Lumin D1 Streamer

Denafrips Ares II DAC

Distributed bass array with (2) Rel T5, (1) Rel T7i and (1) SVS SB2000 subs

So, after dealing with a very weird left channel issue, I finally sat down and listened to the ATC SCM-19's, and what can I say.

It's like I have been walking around for the last decade with a rock in my shoe and I finally took it out.

Sublime.

I also have the ATC SCM19v2 speakers.They are my final pair of speakers.

Have just bought a used pair of Sound Anchors stands. Looking forward to what they will do.

Was looking at a set of Isoacoustic Gaia as well.

But found a review of Stack Audio Auva by Hans Beekhuyzen, who rates them better. They get back to you quickly.

Late last year I bought a used pair of Auditorium 23 speaker cables. The jumpers were harder to find, so had to buy them new.

Even if the Auva is better than the Gaia's, I could never get past the idea that I paid over $1,000 USD for eight hockey pucks.

Maybe if I wasn't Canadian?
