This is a follow up post for the previous "Please advice, is 30w class A enough for ATC SCM19"
I got the 19 for about 2 weeks now and they've been run-in for about 60 hours with both FM and Maron 5(sorry, that's about the most "rock" cd I own) .
As been advised by most fellow members of this great forum earlier, the Accuphase 30w amp is powerful enough for the 19s. In my smallish room (3mx4.5m and 3m height),the volume is already loud enough with the Accuphase pre amp set at 9 o'clock.
One notable thing that sets ATC from the rest (like spendor 1/2,minima and PROAC d2 I owned) is "extreme amount of details". The 19 is so so detailed and transparent and I believe I hear something never heard before.
The bass with sealed design is something to get used to. I have always owned ported speakers and found ATC's bass cutting off a little too "early". The bass amount is improved over the scm7 previously owned but still, they don't shake my chair or room as much as ,say the spendor 1/2 or Proac D2.
Of course, it's very clear,fast,well defined kind of bass. Or shall we say, realistic bass?
Or maybe, the 30w class A amp couldn't get full bass out of the 19?
It's worth mentioning, when playing bass heavy tracks,the way the bass drive moves in and out, can hurt your finger a little ...if you put your finger on it that is
Advice anybody?
