ATC SCM20, Wow what sound..


These babies really got up and sang, really dynamic and involving midrange. Has anyone else heard these? 83 db senisitivity scares me. I have a little Classe CA-100 and the dealer wants to put me in a BAT vk500 if I get these. Who can talk about these little jems ??? The demo system was Escoteric Transport->Tact->vk-30SE -> vk-500->ATC 20 Thanks....

The 20 is a "pro" number in the US, and home audio model is called the SCM 19.  Active is called the SCM 19A.  

The SCM 19 and SCM 20 pro are voiced differently, in both active and passive versions.  The 20 is brighter and set up for highlighting flaws in mixes, where the 19 is warmer and nicer to listen to.  Both use the same drivers, but different crossovers in passive form and different amplifiers in active form.  Most people do not know this.
