ATCs are lustworthy... no doubt

i really would like to get SCM 7s or 11s, but at $1,500-$2,500, they're a little more than i'd like to spend, but the model 11s have nothing but rave reviews for their giant killing lack of distortion.

i'm just starting to rebuild my system and am looking to add a schiit gugnir $750 DAC once i start saving up too, so right now, the $500 sonnance 622c 2 ways with 1" thick cabinets is sounding like a potential buy and $1,000 gallo strada 2s are sounding interesting 2.

if my finances were up to it, i'd probably get a pair of 11s even if they have a little less midrange clarity and image specificity than their little brothers and use them as full range speakers without subs. the only "downside" i've read in many glowing reviews is that they can be "too honest" revealing warts in recordings and equipment. that's a good thing to me. that's resolution and freedom of distortion. that's what i loved about my energy RC-10s except for the box resonance that drove me nuts.
If it's ported, it's distorted.
