It’s always instructive to add/compare another highly rated loudspeaker in a similar price range. Or am I mistaken -regarding speaker terminal quality?įinally, at/around 6,300 Euro, consider the KEF ‘REF-1’ stand-mount loudspeaker for audition/ review. Howwever, ATC themselves should be queried regarding the FR deviation/s noted.Īdditionally, at E6,300 (Euro)/pair, it’s disappointing to see the use of the most common/cheapest speaker connector terminals used on the SCM-40 that connector type is seen on very inexpensive loudspeakers. It’s difficult to offer any feedback to a ‘response’ graph when none is made available. If you are referring to the 4B-3/Cubed?, I believe you should look elswewhere for the source of any “lack of refinement”.Īlso, the loudspeaker was tested/measured, a on/off axis response abberation was noted, yet we/ the reader are not provided any test/frequency response graphs. ” The Bryston may not be the most refined power amplifier on earth” Gentleman: A nice review to a often-reviewed loudspeaker. We’ve had Infinity Kappa’s before that also had a midrange dome. Then we see a 7.5cm midrange soft dome and a 2.5cm soft dome tweeter. The woofer measures a little over 16cm and has a crackling (yes, we can’t find another word) of a magnet. Like the SCM40A, the ATC SCM40 is a three-way speaker with a closed cabinet. In a passive version this is not the case. However, with the ATC SCM40A the manufacturer can contro everything. Artist Tim Knol even found it the most pleasant of the three. And there this active floorstander scored very high. This time we have the passive ATC SCM40 in front of us a heavy floorstander of just under 6000 euros per pair. First of all in studios worldwide, but now also in the living room. ATC SCM40A New ATC designed and built 25mm Soft Dome HF unit with precision alloy wave guide ATC Soft Dome mid-range driver ATC 164mm short coil bass driver. A unit that has more than earned its spurs. Of course with the famous ATC midrange dome. The motor is built with oversized, hugely powerful neodymium magnets, extending the frequency response as well as dissipating heat from the driver assembly. The British company has been making studio speakers at a very high level for decades. This is designed to ensure pistonic motion just as ATCs narrowing of the magnetic gap is aimed at reducing distortion.
