He once equated an undue importance on 'imaging' to having a "foot fetish". I recall him once asking "you don`t get great imaging with live music do you?" or something like that.

That'cool. At least someone with a good taste or someone who *gets it* in the US!.

Once I remember reading a review of SCM20 in the TAS and this was the extent of ATC reviews in the US that I am aware of.

I dunno- regardless of how live performances images or doesn't image, it's not the same as listening to your stereo and I don't compare the two. Why not just listen with one speaker then- in mono. It would be much cheaper! Also, I read so much about PRaT these days- to me that's much more overrated than imaging. I can get PRaT from a clock radio!

Oh well, just call me sissy boy because I like these sissy sounding speakers these days! And I guess if I drive those sissy speakers with tubes, sheesh! I guess that makes me "Girly Man"

AWESOME!!!!!!! Build them here for a fraction of the cost https://secure.wilmslow-audio.co.uk/...0_Kits_12.html I've heard these speakers and they are breathtaking

Yeah. hehehhe

Seriously, I gotta have that groove!
And I think this is *the* reason, I can get into the fone listening as much as speaker listening.

I have ATC SCM11s powered by ATC SIA2-150.
Great for larger room listening and the speakers do need that extra power.
 
For nearfield listening/mixing I use PMC TB1s and an ancient NAD C370.

 I know this is an ancient thread but my experience with the atcs was in a store. The store was a large loft comprised by a good portion of the top floor of a downtown building. The speaker was an active atc. This was quite a few years ago but the speaker that was playing was the active atc-100. The salesperson was playing a recording of count  basie and I kid you not it sounded like the band was literally in the room .
   The dynamics of the atc 100 were amazing. There was no compression whatsoever. Of course the new atc 100s are not cheap. Positive feedbacks mini review of these monsters listed the price at 27,000 usd . Ouch I could never afford them let alone fit them in my tiny apartment .
   But they were an eye opening listen to say the least . I just wonder what the active atc 150 sounds like ?

Atc scm 50a compare to atc scm 50a pro is any difference in sound, or there is only differenr design?
