I am auditioning in 60m2 a pair of Active Towers ATC-150 (serial numbers 0001 and 0002, with discrete amps. The performance of them is excellent, whatever preamplifier I used (KRELL KCT, Valve Geroukis pre, Passive, Avondale Graduate 1). My source is Theta Generation Va Balanced 24/96 and cable Interconnects are Transparent. I think that at least in accuracy, transparency and tonal balance, they might be one of the very best speakers in the world. Bass is excellent with high definition even in the very low frequencies and no booming occured in the room after the first 50 hours. Mid and hi frequencies are very good, with no coloration. Image is very clear and soundstage is very big. Despite the size of the speakers, they dissapear in the room enabling the listener to relax and enjoy the music. It is like having a live presentation in your house.
It is strange why most of the Hi-Fi,and Hi-End magazines refer nothing about these gems...
George I agree with you about the absence of magazines regarding ATCs.

Does it matter which balance cables you use? Acoording to ATC they say to use just belden cable as it makes no difference in sound whether you use belden or any of the High end cables- anyone try different cables with the active ATC?
I've heard of good results with a friend using the Transparent Opus. Expensive but he claims brings it all home for him.
I use canary wth my active SCM 20A-2's (modern)

Absolutly no need to spend any moe than this.
