The larger ATCs are about increased volume capabilities. While this is definitely a factor in pro studios where the average listening levels routinely, if wrongly, exceeds 100dB, it is less of a factor for in home us. The SCM100s are more than capable of reaching any sane in home listening SPL.
ATC, the big boys
Is there a reason why nobody uses the big ATCs in their home? The scm200s and scm300s are the speakers that are most commonly used in the studios. Why does everyone talk about the 100s and down? Are the 200scm and 300scm just not worth $40,000 or are they just too ugly? I would like to see what others think about the big ATCs. Thank to those who respond.
