Would be nice if all of us had an ATC monitor/speaker at home as a common reference. I have the 12 (desktop) and 150 (main) models. Admit I listen to lots of others but they're always my references. Control, precision, dynamics, headroom, looks.
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.

Wouldn't you like to hear them at home with a 60 day satisfaction guarantee?I don't see any mention of restocking fees but i would confirm with them prior to ordering https://www.musicdirect.com/Return-Policy https://www.musicdirect.com/speakers/ATC-SCM40a-Active-Tower-Speakers |
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. Brad Lone Mountain Audio |
