Evening all,
Just reading through the specifications of these two speakers they are extremely similar, the main points being their low sensitivity of just 85 dB and their 8 ohm impedence. The ATC impedence is said to be a steady 8 ohm whereas the LS50s drop to 3.2 ohms alot. Therefore the SCM 11s are an easier load for the amp overall.
Yet when reading reviews etc I regularly see that the SCM11s are reported to sound dull at lower volumes due to their low sensitivity. However the LS50s are considered to sound great at low volumes, which I can personally confirm is correct. Sensitivity is the same however!?!
Am I missing something here or is an opinion being formed about the ATCs based on written specs rather than actual listening? Any SCM11 owners care to comment please?
