THESE MONITORS HAVE BEEN SOLD
I bought these 2-way studio monitors nearly new from the original owner in February, 2018. I used them in my home office/nearfield system for about a year a half, then stored them here as backups while I worked my way through three more pairs of passive monitors. Most of my use was low volume, but occasionally I cranked them (with impressive results).
These monitors have 12 liters internal volume; a 6" mid/woofer; and a 1 inch textile tweeter that at launch time was ATC's newest driver. These drivers are overbuilt and nothing like off-the-shelf drivers used in many speakers. Each monitor weighs 24 lbs looks due to the very heavy magnet structure of the mid/woofer driver.
These monitors are sealed/acoustic suspension design, which means their bass is far better than what most ported designs can manage; and they are relatively impervious to placement near a back wall. These don't require big power to get moving, but they respond very well to high powered amps.* The sound was (still is) a revelation to me: powerful, very dynamic, accurate/transparent, yet musical to a fault. Their sound is the opposite of the bright, edgy, harmonically thin sound some studio monitors have.
Condition is near-perfect. I cannot find a flaw anywhere on either monitor. ATC did not sell these with grills. Pls note the 12 gauge copper wire connectors I use to join the bottom and upper pairs of binding posts on the back of each monitor. These came with a pair of brass plates that did this, but IMO they sounded bad; the copper connectors definitely improved the sound, so they'll stay on the monitors. Of course, feel free to biwire each monitor if you prefer. I tried biwiring and found no sonic gain, so continued using single speaker cables to each.
Here is ATC's webpage for these monitors, unchanged since 2017 launch:

This URL shows the currrent retail price of these monitors:

My price is $1,000 for the pair. This includes Paypal fees and shipping to the eastern CONUS.
If you have any questions, please PM me.
*I'm thinking of also selling the 250WPC class D amp I used for these monitors, the Wyred4Sound ST-500. Not sure about that yet...
