![]() ![]() Highly recommended." (Vol.37 No.6 WWWĪudition them with Line magnetic Single ended tube amplifier. ' ATC to have a slight amount of extra energy in the upper midrange and lower treble' I suggest a using a good solid state amp that has quite a good bit of Class-A bias (runs hot at idle) for a sweeter, yet still detailed sound to counter. Comparing the ATC to a similarly small, sealed-box loudspeaker of some renown, the classic BBC LS3/5a, JM found that the SCM19 v.2 "exhibited an arresting increase in resolving power." Similarly, he wrote that the SCM19 "decisively strode ahead of" ATC's less expensive SCM7 v.3 in resolution and bass extension, noting that while the SCM7 "had no distortion that I was aware of, the driver in the SCM19 was so much more revealing that it was not funny." JM summed up: "The SCM19 might be all the speaker most people will ever need. Having what most call a neutral-cool sound, which is born out in the ATC SCM-11 Stereophile review also. ![]() Drive-units: 1' soft-dome tweeter, 6' woofer. The SCM19 v.2's cabinet is only 17.1" high, yet weighs a hefty 39 lbs its frequency response is specified as 54Hz–22kHz, –6dB, its nominal impedance as 8 ohms, and its sensitivity as 85dB/W/m. Description: Two-way, stand-mounted speaker with Sealed-box woofer alignment. This speaker really sings - Our best sellerĭesigned around a sealed enclosure with curved side panels, a lute-shaped cross section, and a volume of 19 liters-hence the model number-ATC's SCM19 v.2 is a two-way loudspeaker with a 1" non-hemispherical soft-dome tweeter and a 6" woofer, the 3" dustcap of which is said to function as a midrange dome both drivers are of ATC's own design and manufacture. SCM11 V2 - In Cherry and black Ash natural Veneer ($2350) The high extension is better and its easier to drive compare to the older version.ĪTC SCM 7 speaker $1500 -Make in UK - new stock coming soonīest Buy, the new revision model has a huge sound staging and very musical too. Buy with confidence.The new range of ATC speaker, with the new design tweeter, ATC adds that it has removed from all drive units the need for ferrofluids which, it reckons, can dry out over time and affect performance. These ATCs are highly analytical yet never sound clinical or passionless, and are transparent to the original recording and system electronics. If it’s just a low-level hiss with your ear to the tweeter, it’s better than what many integrateds manage, especially at the price of the Elex-R. Also, any integrated with a large transformer inside is going to exhibit some low-level noise. Prince’s vocals are handled in a crisp and articulate manner, but they also lack nothing in terms of body or natural warmth. Most integrateds are at max gain somewhere between 50 and 75 knob rotation. The bass kicks hard while the drum machines attack with determination. They deliver the song’s relentless rhythmic momentum with enthusiasm. Moving onto Prince’s Love shows that these boxes like to party too. Things stay stable even as the piece’s complexity increases. We also like the SCM19s’ ability to render a large-scale soundstage and populate it with well-focused instruments. There’s an impressive degree of composure here, the monitors refusing to compress or harden up even when pushed hard. Handle high spl effortlessly, and work well even very close (within a few inches) to a back wall. They claim that the SCM7 v.3's flat impedance curve presents an easy load to. ATC states that the SCM7 v.3's frequency response is 60Hz22kHz, 6dB its sensitivity is a lowish 84dB/W/m, its nominal impedance 8 ohms. Non-fatiguing, see-through clarity, and they literally disappear when working with them. In 2009, when I reviewed the SCM11, the SCM7 cost 1050/pair the SCM7 v.3 costs 1499/pair in Cherry or Black Ash veneer. These ATCs have no trouble delivering the piece’s crescendos with power, even at very high volume levels. Have had the ATC SCM20psl Pro mkii for a few years now and they are simply superb. Those dynamic skills come into even sharper focus when we play Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture. Twin binding posts allow biamping or biwiring if required. ![]()
