Significant Hi-Fi geekery (hopefully my only such post) – ATC SCM100A’s – the Rolls Royce of loudspeakers (as used by BBC, Abbey Road<\/a> and many of the best studios). This pair were bought from Presshouse Studios in Devon, where they’d been used by the likes of Jethro Tull and Portishead…<\/p>\n

I used an ATC setup in Glasgow Uni concert hall over a decade ago and always remember being completely astounded by the results.<\/p>\n

We just watched Lord of the Rings (which was mastered on the same brand) and it’s amazing – a 10-foot screen, the SCM100A’s as the primary stereo pair, SCM10’s as surround and a center channel (all decoded from a Nakamichi AV10).<\/p>\n

Now I have to listen to my entire music collection again to see what I’d missed… it really is like listening to velvet.<\/p>\n


\n(The “A” on the end of the SCM100 means they are ‘active’ – they weigh in at a mere 65Kg each<\/strong>, with a dedicated power-amp per driver (200W, 100W and 50W for 12″ woofer, 3″ mid and 1″ tweeter – thus a total of 700W between the 2 speakers…)<\/p>\n

Then I need to work out what to do with the slightly smaller, but lovely, scm10’s and scm20’s that I already had…<\/p>\n


\n(SCM10, passive, only 9Kg each)<\/p>\n


\n(SCM20, passive, only 18Kg each)<\/p>\n

Final speaker pr0n below…
