What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world?
ATC scm 300 towers I’m referring to, not the studio stand mounted version  
What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world?
I use ATCscm300 actives, stunning speakers especially for a large room on a ‘budget’ but hardly a stand mount speaker like the 150’s, unless you reckon 4 stillpoint ultra 5’s under each count as a stand!!!!  
Jay’s Audio CDT3-MK3 wins over Aurender W20SE
Just try a Grimm MU1 for streaming. You’ll be shocked at how good it is for streaming, and not too fussy about the quality of the Ethernet feed. Make sure you use a good coax or aes/ebu output cable though. This has bested EmmLabs and Jays transpo... 
MSB vs dCS Bartok
I’m about to have a home audition of an msb reference dac in my system driving a pair of ATC active scm300’s. This ref dac has the passive volume control, not the digital one.  Currently the ATCs are driven by a Tidal Audio Preos preamp/dac (ladde... 
Tidal vs ATC
Go for both Tidal and ATC! My room is 30’x20’x9’ and I sit 20’ from my ATC300 towers firing down the long axis of the room using a Tidal Preos preamp/dac, fed by a Melco N10 player/streamer. With these ancillaries fronting the big ATCs, they are a... 
High value, giant killer speakers?
If you have a large room, especially if you listen at high levels, the ATCscm 300 tower speakers are hard to beat, 40k including matching power power amps. My system is simple high end, Jays Audio cdt3mk2 cd transport into Tidal  Preos preamp/dac.... 
WAF Speaker suggestions
If you can stretch your budget a fraction, get a pair of Tidal Akiras and tell the missus you’ve bought her a pair of 20 carat pure diamond midrange units to wear to any parties you may contemplate going to🤪 
Dunlavy resurrection?
If you do resurrect, please please please put a tweeter in them that was actually designed to be used with a first order crossover. I had a pair of scvVI’s , huge monsters that weighed around 500lb each, that blew tweeters like there was no tomorr... 
If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money
The cdt2mk3 is listed as $4980 as you suggest, and has a rather poor 12 month warranty, would’ve expected at least 3yrs for the price 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
My system has its power amps upstairs in a ventilated cupboard, they are the matching amps for ATC active 300scm, necessary due to noisy cooling fans. They are connected to my preamp with approx 15m  of studio balanced interconnects, then the amps... 
Your thoughts about ATC loudspeakers
I’ve happily lived with a pair of ATC scm300A towers for the last 12 years. There really is nothing like a pair of large active speakers in a large room, able to crank up the volume to over 110db at the listening position 20ft from the speakers. T...
