Good to hear, and of course I've read other threads and reviews but they don't all lead to the same answer. Thanks!

Literally don't know what you're on about? :sweatsmile:

Welcome/hey/aloha, So everyone on here will advise auditioning equipment before purchasing, I know you've said you have no local shops but have you tried calling online dealers? Some do offer a home auditioning service and I'd imagine more will have opened up to this service during the...

Just read some very interesting info about sealed and ported designs. Seems to explain a lot of the reason for ATC's sound, which I thought was chosen voicing but *may* actually have more to do with playing to the inherent design strengths Sealed (or acoustic suspension) enclosures: A sealed...

Hahahaha

I'll have a double whisky then please 🍻

So you're essentially saying this 'the consumer has become accustomed to increased levels of bass, therefore they are disillusioned about how much bass there should be'

I'm of this thinking, I had the R300's for a while and they definitely benefit from a more powerful amp to control that bass. Like advised above the whole performance jumped up a notch. Can i ask what source you're using? Thanks

Interesting, thanks for your input Doug, good to know.

I know their drivers are revered and you can see that they make quality products but do you feel the people commenting on the lack of bass are incorrect then? Are you saying that ATC's reproduce the original recording so accurately that if there is a perceived lack of bass, it's not the speaker...

Hi, I understand and appreciate their mission statement/ethos and have no qualms with that, my issue is that people were saying it underperforms in terms of bass, as in it doesn't reflect the amount of bass that should be on the recording, therefore not being totally honest in that instance.

Hi, they are, why do you ask?

Anyone excited for these? I personality really liked the Debut Reference (DBR62) voicing and would be interested to try something of theirs further up the line. However, I'm aware Andrew didn't develop this model, so maybe the Carina would be more suitable in that respect.

Ok, ok, I'm an eccentric millionaire, who only buys speakers based on seasonal fashion trends. I mainly buy second hand gear and my budget is about £900/£1000. What quality would you say the ATC possess that no other 'is quite like'? I might have a listen to the Revel's again as had quite...

Ah boo really, that's such a shame. I have listened to the Revel M16's and thought they were pretty decent, would you say they are really the only option that are voiced like the ATC but with better bass response? What about Dali Rubicon 2's?? Thanks for your input, appreciate it
