How do the ATC's stack up price wise?

Hi:

If the ATC's stack up price wise, then I'd say (with confidence) they would be hard to beat. Not too physically large, but large in all other aspects. The dome midrange is among the finest drivers on the planet, and has unusually flat off-axis reponse for a dome. Very very large magnet structure and very efficient. The mids (particularly vocals) of the mids of the "bigger ATCs" that have this wonder driver are just incredible. They not only have the incredible speed and detail you would expect at this price point, but this atypical presence and presentation that is just very very engaging and enjoyable without being too forward or fatiguing.

I think it's interesting you have ATC in that short list.

Do try and hear them. Don't take my word for it. They are world class and used in the finest studios for good reason.

I don't profit in any way by endorsing ATC. They just make me smile when I hear them play music so wonderfully.

I would not go with Wilson Sophia II's as bjh suggested IF I could get into ATC for the same money. Sorry Wilson fans, but the Sophias are NOT in the same league as ATC 150's IMHO. Not even close.

Cheers,
Presto
