Amp candidates for ATC Loudspeakers


Hi guys,

Over the years, the experience this forum has given me has been extremely informative! thanks guys for the help.
Now building a 2nd system for my overseas apartment and am looking at building them around an ATC speaker. ATC SCM7,11, or the 19s are my candidates.
These speakers are highly recommended from my friends overseas and heard them as well. Quite different from my Harbeths but the mids are still there.
Can users here help me chime in on the amps, integrated amps, cables, you guys are using for these breed of speakers.
I always here, they love power, at least 100w.
Would digital amp do like the Bel Cantos, or Jeff Rowlands ?
How about the time and proven, Levinsons, Krells, Bryston ? or the Lamms ?

Would appreciate some insight and inputs!
Merry x'mas to you all and all the best for 2010.

Cheers,
Noli

hello, upon your taste of sound, they all will work , howerver , in your listing, i like bel cantos the most, and older levinson(not newer ones).. bryston and krell, may be, kind of too "dry and dull" on sounding with ATC, i would easily to do tube preamp and SS power or all tube, but all tube may be too less power than you want, good luck ,,,!!,, may be, consider late mcintosh as well
Noli,

Most of my friends with ATC speakers use Bryston amps.and they do not sound dry at all with ATC.If course with ATCs you need to play the speaker quite loud to hear them at their best.....Can't go wrong at all with Bryston-ATC;music-lover combi for sure
I'd consider any good SS integrated amp like Naim or Exposure. I do not know if tubes will work as the ATC line likes watts/current.
Noli. You should alos postr this question on whathifi. There's tons of people in the U.K. using (and loving) ATC speakers.
