ATC SCM19 V2 Recommendations.

Thanks for the tip.

I actually have an older RadioShack SPL around somewhere and I think Tidal has some test tones available.

At the moment I am doing some research into long wall placement using the Audio Physic guide. I recently switched my room layout 90 degrees. I was just sick of dancing through my speakers to get to my patio, but the reduced available distance has its challenges. Things like having a coffee table or the placement of the bass array.

Thanks. Due to the limits of the rooms 12’ distance from front wall to back wall, I will be doing more of a nearfield setup. I am guessing about 6’ from just behind my head to the top of the woofer. Distance between the speakers perhaps 7’.

Already have stands, but just wanted confirmation on height. The stands are weighted and are 23" tall. I am looking to adding a wider bottom plate maybe 14" x 16", along with IsoAcoustic Gaia’s. This would add 3" to the height.

No identifying marks on the stands. They are all metal, powder-coated design that the original owner filled with something. Each stand weighs around 20lbs.

Tried to make them ring, but all I got was a metallic thud.

Front of speaker is 42" from front wall. I was born a few hours north of the Cotswolds in Radcliffe, but emigrated to Canada when I was 3 years old.

I had a look at the Dolby site, but everything seemed to be linked to Dolby Atmos?

You should check out the Audio Physic speaker placement. I thought it was more progressive and more suited to two channel setups.

@kb54 

The stands are filled with something heavy already. Each one weighs about 25lb.

@lonemountain 

Side walls aren't the same.

On the right side the distance is 36" - 42" depending on how it sounds. The right side is all patio doors and windows.

The left side is around 8' to the adjacent wall and then opens into the kitchen.

Haven't been back to England yet, but it is on the bucket list. The last 4 times to Europe have all involved wine tours that start and stop in Paris.

@agisthos 

I have contacted Elsdon Wonfors Audio regarding North American distributors but haven't heard back. Do you know of anyone selling them?

I live in Vancouver, Canada.

@agisthos 

I was on their site, but they have no pricing, no distributers list and no links for buying their products. Sent an email and crossed my fingers.

@agisthos 

That's very reasonable.

So, after dealing with a very weird left channel issue, I finally sat down and listened to the ATC SCM-19's, and what can I say.

It's like I have been walking around for the last decade with a rock in my shoe and I finally took it out.

Sublime.

Even if the Auva is better than the Gaia's, I could never get past the idea that I paid over $1,000 USD for eight hockey pucks.

Maybe if I wasn't Canadian?
