Re: Harbeth Compact 7es versus ATC SCM 10 and 20

Indeed the smallest ATC with SL magnet is the 20, but SL is only affecting 300Hz and below. Between SL and non-SL, the SL sounded typically cleaner and more transparent in the bass. But non-SL actually sounded warmer and richer, perhaps aided by the harmonic distortion that complements the music.

In my experience, the SCM-20 can be adquately driven by 200W Mark Levinson 23.5, given the efficiency of SCM-10 is only 80dB (4dB drop), I would assume that I need 300W to drive SCM-10! Certainly upgrading from 10 to 20 is cheaper than upgrading the ML power amp from 200W to 300W...
