RE: I found the SCM19s wonderful--"Nearly" all the bass you could want

John:
My experience with ATC's passive speakers over the past 15 years (no experience with their new line) is that they're able to eat a lot of power, so if you want a higher volume they can do it with aplomb. They're just a bit "sleepier" with less power, though still fantastic.

And, it's also been my experience that ATC speakers showed a more nimble character with lots of power, when it's of good quality. One highlight for me was hearing the passive 20s hooked up with the dealer's older Chord SPM1200B, though he particularly liked the Coda 10.5s run as monoblocks with the passive 20s.

I've now moved on to active ATCs which are even better than their passive counterparts. Finding a suitable preamp for the active speakers is key.
