Where to hear ATC speakers


I'm intrigued by all the discussion of ATC speakers. I live in NYC, and I can't find anywhere to demo any model, let alone the sctive SCM40s I want to hear.  Anybody know a place?

Also listening to Wilson Sabrina and Vandersteen Quattro CT.   My Thiel 3.6s I've had since 1994 may have bitten the dust.

I was the one who did that demo at AXPONA.  The active advantage is pretty clear, but a lot of folks love those amps and cables!   

For NYC demo, I would call George at Innovative Audio.  They have 19s now and we are in the process of trying to get them going. Dealers today want to sell what people ask for, so the more calls they get, the greater chance they will stock ATC.

BTW, regarding dealers in your area, the pro guys do not sell the consumer models and vice versa.  The level of customer service of the two different types of dealers is completely opposite.  Pros only sell flat black painted monitors, no woods, veneers or grilles or anything like that.  They also sell only monitors that need stands.  The stands recommended in pro are the ugliest things ever, super heavy welded steel black square tubes.  In Consumer, we have nice looking floor standing "tower" models, as no pro model would ever pass a wife's approval or survive children touching the drivers.

That was something special we did for Absolute Sound so they could compare active & passive approaches in one loudspeaker.  It required a fair amount of labor during the review to make the switch!  It's a pretty amazing thing to hear a high resolution wide band loudspeaker with flat phase and amplitude response.   You hear so many details you otherwise miss.
