In Reply to: RE: ATC's R&D Manager told me that ATC uses a port only to control driver motion and not to extend bass posted by RGA on June 7, 2014 at 05:39:02:
And, as I find to be often the case with good sealed box designs, you don't have to crank up the volume to have the music have presence.
Is it possible that ATC's high-ish amp power recommendations are slanted toward professional environments were you would expect so much acoustical treatment that you need twice as much power as otherwise?
I used the 20Wpc Class A Lindell pro power amp with some ATCs and they sounded fine.
