Speaker question

Wasn’t trying to rile anyone up. There are a lot of forums out there that tend to suggest the aforementioned. They are still on my radar. No way to demo, unless you would like to send a pair out to me😁

Sorry I was excited there.  DIdnt mean to blame you or pick on you.  Ive read this before but I can't figure out where it comes from becasue it is categorically not true.  It must some other problem attributed to the speakers- like maybe underpowered amps?  Other readers read these kinds of things and if no one says anything, they beleive its true.  Just trying to seet the record straight.

So, lone mountain, in your opinion the 227wpc in class d would be sufficient for the ATC’s and give generous spl at low volume? Wife goes to bed 3 hours earlier than I. Also, are they good for HT use? Thanks,Leon

I use them myself for HT.   They are simply a very good three way and the least expensive model with the ATC mid dome, which they are famous for. 227W should be plenty of power, no problem there.  On the amp sound, I personally defer to linear based Class A/B power amps, but Ive heard some awfully good Class D and some awfully bad Class D.  I don't know the amp you are interested in so I cannot comment about that, but it certainly has enough power.  We use the ATC P2 at 300W/Ch to demo them at trade shows, but I have also used the P1 at 150W/ch.  Both work, the P2 has better bass (larger reserves and bigger dynamics).
