I bought ATC SCM40s a decade ago and they have greatly increased my apreciation of music. Looking nice in white, mine are cherry.

I have followed your channel for a long time Mr. Tom. One thing i enjoy is hearing new and interesting music choices that i add to my collection. Thanks for the sweet tunes

Your long term followers want hear how these ATC’s compare to some of your previous speakers!! 🔥🔥🔥

These are my favorite speakers that I’ve ever had. The only other speaker I would consider would be a higher end ATC model.

One of the best sounding speakers I've had were Tetra 606 which had the ATC SM75 mid bass driver. Yes, definitely needed subs and room treatment. I would love to build a pair of speakers with those drivers.

wow what a change from you Tom!!! ATC scm 40 is really good for their mid range but I never that quite impressed with the rest but for the money.... excellent speakers!!

Hey, I got a pair like that! White too. I'm actually listening to this video on a pair of ATC's SCM7's too. Good stuff.

I used scm 7, scm 11, scm 19, scm 20, scm 40 models, these are great speakers 👌

What speakers are You using now? I am looking for SCM40A (because of all the benefits of active amplification, but also consider ProAc, run by Hegel or Electrocomapniet.

Regarding the low end and bass. You need nearer 2 months of regular use of these speakers from new for the bottom end to really show itself. ( based on my listening levels at or below 70dB ). I was wondering where the precise, powerful and detailed bass had gone that I heard when I demoed them. It has now arrived. Yes, if you want the room to shake with, for example, the LFO drops in James Blake’s Limit to your love, you’ll need a sub with these as you would with most speakers. However, unless the sub and its amplification is up to the standard of these speakers you’ll get a mistimed distraction. These need much more than 2 days use before they will ‘sing’.

Hi. Love your videoes. Is audiovector one of the best speakers you have owned?

The Audiovector were one of my favorites. The pair I had weren’t in the best condition when I bought them. I would like to try another pair of R3 or R6 in the future.

ATCs are a tough habit to kick once they grab you! I'm on pair four currently, active 50ASL towers. I'll be interested to find out your take; quite a change from the Eggleston Works.
