Boenicke have a sound I find hard to describe as it has an organic presentation that I’ve just not heard from other small speakers (and are my favourites). Totem are very neutral but more detailed and even more refined (not dull) than ATC. Two brands that will trump your ATCs are expensive and equally inefficient to drive. I quite like B&W 805s but they have a different presentation of sound. I was hoping to be Wowed by Dynaudio Special 40s and wasn’t. I’ve heard a lot of standmounts and they all have some sort of signature sound. I also agree that it is a bit difficult recommending without knowing your budget. Like others, if you like the ATC sound then easiest to just go up a model. I had small ATC years ago (so probably older versions than yours and can’t remember if 11s or 12s) but I agree they are fabulously neutral. I've heard B&W, KEF LS50, Dali, but they did not impress me enough on those short auditions at the dealer I am very interested in the amphion argon 1 though I know it is considered a bright speaker. Ultimately, for my needs, I still prefer the tight bass and better dynamics of the ATC.Īre there any speakers that I should try? Maximum 6.5 inch woofer and 28cm depth. It sounds like ls3/5a but has bigger scale and deeper bass due to the cabinet size. For those not in the know, Graham LS6 is the ultimate LS3/5a you can own. They also don't dig as deep for reason and trying one size bigger (Harbeth 30.1) makes them too huge for my room.
No need to describe these more, but they are not as versatile as ATC because of their lack of dynamic range (not sure if that is how you describe it). Always find them lacking the punch and treble a little rolled off.īBC Speakers (Falcon/Harbeth p3/Graham ls6) Presentation is also a little more forward than ATC. But its mid range is noticeably not as good as ATC. Proac is perhaps even more dynamic than SM100 and goes lower. The SM100 is a tad on the more exciting side of neutral while ATC is towards the warmer side of neutral. The other speakers I've owned is the proac SM100. On a side note, Hegel amps are the best match for ATC. What makes this better than BBC is its dynamic range, and the ability to disappear better than BBC. Mid-range is absolutely great on this, perhaps only second to BBC-style speakers. I can play jazz, acoustic, hip hop, rock, anything and they sound great. This is the best because it is the most neutral. I know ATC scm11 is not even the best bookshelf ATC has, with the 19s considered much better, but I've never tried that at home. The ATC scm 11 I've got is perhaps the most neutral speakers I've tried. Here are some thoughts on what I felt for some of the speakers I've tried extensively as compared to ATC. I'd like someone to recommend speakers that I can try that is potentially better than what I feel for the ATC.
