Hi CnE
So what amplifier is powerful enough to fully control SCM40 monitors?

Hi Rick As the expert in all things ATC, I'm surprised that you're asking me. :? I would recommend either the SIA2-150 or CA2 + P1 As I said in my post above, I'm happy for anyone more knowledgeable to disagree. At the end of the day it's the OP's ears that will decide. All the best Cno

BTW I have used Naim with ATC40s with great results as long as you don't go below the nap200. Its not all about quantity but quality of amplification so a home demo is a must. I think David is right..upgrading your 8xp to mono power amps will do better.![]()

Hi Rick
I have a Musical Fidelity amp with Kef speakers which sound fine,and I thoroughly enjoy. If the OP is interested in either of these brands, I will be happy to give him further information and insight.
