Living in a small appartment with wife and two kids, there are several compromises to be met. One is downsizing my stereo. Sold my Tannoys yesterday (DC10T), and my Accuphase (E450) may be next in line (if I go active).
Heard a lot of positive things about ATC active speakers and Im considering trying them out. Only problem is that the (only) ATC dealer around is a small back yard dealer with a very limited ATC demo stock. The active Im considering is SCM20ASLT, but ATC SCM40 (not active) seems like a real bargain, then I could keep my accuphase.
Anyone heard these two? Which would be the best combo? My modest living room is 3,4m(w) x 4,4m(l) x3m (h) and we listen to a wide range of music but mainly well produced pop, prog, metal, easy listening jazz. I have an Audiolab CDQ as CD-player/DAC/Preamp which I could use as preamp for the active speakers.
