In Reply to: Perhaps not having a port... posted by Bill the K on June 5, 2014 at 21:07:30:
It could be the sealed box - Although personally I wouldn't discount that ATC uses a soft dome tweeter over ribbons and metal (the only speaker in the test to use one). Modern ports are fine - bass depth creates more room issues and it takes more time to set them up but a speaker with a port isn't the issue in itself. The ATC 100 which I audition a lot is ported and is superb. Interestingly they are more superb with SET amplifiers than when I heard their active version albeit with the trade-off of volume but on vocals - yowza take them up several notches. Interestly I prefer the SET amps in the store with the ATC over the same SET amps with HE ZU Audio. Although Zu is also a lot less expensive than the ATC bigger ported models.
