I also posted same topic in the ht part.
I am currently building a new house and will integrate the ht and hifi set up in one room (55inch tv for everyday viewing and motorised drop down screen and projector for serious movies/sport watching)as we only watch one movie a week it seems a bit pointless to have a dedicated room for ht duties.
Music is pretty much my main priority as such i am looking for quality speakers that are easy to accommodate and place and i beleive that the atc range may be where i should be heading.
However, i am looking for a clean, clutter free room.I have been looking at inwall, on walls, dedicated ht speakers, and after browsing the net i noticed that many people use floorstanding speakers in specially built joinery with an accoustically transparent cloth to hide the speakers.I am wondering if i could do that with the atc scm40 too and enjoy the best of both world, or do they need heaps of room to breath.I am conscious that most free standing speakers require room, but m prepare to sacrifice a bit of sound quality for a clutter free room but not too much .If i am able to do that with the atc scm 40, can anybody advise me on what material i should be using for the cabinet, size of enclosure, worth putting insulating/absorbing materials inside....Any info will greatly appreciated.
Also, can anybody advise me on the strenght and weakness of the atc scm40.are theywarm speakers or tend to be bright...I love a large soundstage and litsen to most music genres except country and blues..
thanks alot in advance
