This means they will be very forgiving of poor recordings. I've heard it on Krell's 300Watt/ch amp and it's good sound but a bid grainy.Well, I haven't heard either speaker, but I just went through both spec sheets, and here are my comments (based on my experience with a variety of speakers).īoth these speakers are voiced very darkly. The previous owner gave it up because he can't match the speaker with proper amp. It is not the speaker's fault to get it to sing, it is all about system matching. However, if you like exaggerated bass ( in a large volume) then this is not for you or you should consider a matching subwoofer. Regardless of the low frequency rating, it goes just as deep as my other speakers that has 12" woofer.
#ATC SCM 12 FULL#
This speaker really produce good full balanced sound. Top end is gentle and elegant and low end is great control and punchy. Very realistic sounding ( not mechanical or soft sounding like some other book shelf monitor speakers) with the very best mid range response. The sonic character of this speaker is extremely musical, transparent, sweet, excellent tight bass and dead accurate. I've compared this speaker against many books shelf type and none of them even came close to ATC( except for the sonus faber gunari homage which cost 5 times the price.)
#ATC SCM 12 HOW TO#
This speaker is truly amazing if you know how to match it properly with a good amp. I'm using 55Watt/ch tube amp and they work great with this speaker. If you're using solid state, it will require at least 200Watt/ch to drive this speaker. I got the ATC SCM 10 mainly because of its size. I owned these rosewood pair since 1999 and they're just great. Review is for the previous model SCM10 passive. If you have not heard and ATC speakers then you have been missing out on good sound. However, these are real monitor I can really say that. And there are many pieces like that out there. Just marvlous! We can easily say the singer are standing in front of me! when we get a good pair of speakers. Sound? I cannot praise enough about these. I always changed my speakers every 3 to 6months but this one is the only one lasts more than 1 and half year and I don't think I would sell these. Just find nearest ATC dealer & run! Don't take my word. Hoever, these are real monitor I can really say that. All were great except scm 7 (However, I can't say it's bad cause I believe my amp at that time wasn't powerful enough to drive them.) And then this beautiful 10-2 unlike other ugly boxy ATCs, My only complaint about ATC was their ugly boxiness.
#ATC SCM 12 DRIVERS#
And at that time, started to search about the drivers of response 4 was using, ATC. But, I deeply loved the sound of the giant Response 4 when I heard about 10 years ago. etc while these could be good for someone.Īll the speakers have their own color I believe, especially like proacs which no one would believe it's neutral speaker. And didn't much care about B&W, KEF, Quad. My favorites are all of ATC except scm 7, Tannoy, Harbeth, Proac, Vienna Acoustics. Simply, this set is the best set I have auditioned for 20 years of my audio life. I am an audiophile who auditioned more than a couple of hundreds pairs and possessed more than 30 pairs so far. This review is for scm 10-2 which is pictured above.
So if you are DJ or audio engineer and work on music mixes professionally then go ahead by all means and buy ATC SCM but if you are audiophile and want great speakers for home listening look somewhere else. There is no sound stage at all: zip, zero sound stage.
This speakers are not designed to give you crystal tremble or so-called sound stage. However do not expect any filling-your room realism even at high volume. You will hear very linear (no frequency sticks out) presentation of the sound and if you are really close to it you will hear very good representation of musical material. It is near filed monitor at its heart and thus not suitable for audiophile applications. There is no bass expansion ,bass is short and brief. Bass is tight but somewhat constipated sounding. This is review for ATC SCM 12 passive, since AR does not offer separate category for it I added it to SCM 10s which are very similar except for SL (super linear magnet in SCM 12).
