![]() ![]() But still it is very easy to follow different layers – we are talking about nuances – and it is perfectly possible to have long sessions without getting tired. With the passive version, the midrange is tuned a little more relaxed and the resolution is a little less. We feel that the ATC SCM40A – the active version – has a little more focus on the midrange, making it a bit more audible. ![]() This is a crazy one… the ATC SCM40 doesn’t seem like a resolution miracle, but everything is audible and easily trackable. And the various layers are also well separated from each other, which makes listening interesting. Voices are beautifully stable between the floorstanders. What we like it provides more involvement. There is also depth behind the speakers, but it goes – in our room – mainly to the front. Sound stageīesides coherence, imaging is also a striking strength of these ATCs. And in many rooms a 20 Hz wave (or a quarter of it) doesn’t even fit, so the neighbors are treated to rattling glassware and you think…. But you also need to be able to release the energy in the room. But that in turn causes a little more distortion and loss of detail.īut we are guessing that this ATC SCM40 is enough for many a living room. And stilk, it does not go deeper than the Focal that uses a port to get to that lower regions. ![]() Now you have to take into account that it stops around 45 Hz so basement deep bass is not really there, but the fact is: the bass is beautiful. And partly because of that, everything is playable: from ballad to electronic and pop. It is tight, detailed, open, fast and silky. The Bryston may not be the most refined power amplifier on earth, the match with this ATC SCM40 is great. The SCM40A can do that too: a tight and defined bass, silky but detailed mid and a deliciously airy high.Īnd here we hit the core of this speaker: it’s so smoooooth! What a flow we hear. And that is very impressive for a three-way system.Īlthough ATC has already shown that they really can do it. In fact we hear no transition between bass, mids and high. This ATC SCM40 sounds bizarrely well balanced. A three-way that is really spot on and coherent, is rare. Your editor is a fan of two-way monitor speakers. ![]()
