ATC for Home Theater???


Has anyone ever heard the ATC Speakers? I found them at the CES last year. For either Music or Home Theater, they are truly jaw-dropping! This is the system that won the Stereophile System of the Year for 1999. They had the 70's which is ~$93K for 5 speakers and a Sub. I've found that the 70's are so expensive because of their exotic and contemporary finish. The 50's, 100's, and 150's are a MUCH better buy for the money, and frankly sound better! All fully powered w/ 3 amps each. I also just got back from CES a couple days ago. Sony had 5 ATC 150's and 2 Subs to demo their SACD Surround sound format. I was just blown away by these unknown cats from the UK! I understand that a pair of Active 50's will run around $14K... I hope that they've finally gotten their distribution and marketing problems in the US cleared up!!! They're going to be HUGE...

Charles,

ATC has been well known for their professional sound reinforcement gear for years and has just fairly recently come into home audio. They are very good and I find them more lively and dynamic than Spendor....and I love Spendor. Excellent choice for HT.
i'm using a pair of ATC50's at home, strictly for music. and yes, they are beyond amazing. if they would ever do a wee bit of marketing, i think they would be the next big thing, as well, and well-deserved.

their electronics are top-notch as well.
Ah, such things to dream on. I have an all LINN setup and would trade for ATC if I had the cheese. The midrange is spellbinding.
