Question Suggestions for foundational parts of a longer term vinyl setup

Gotcha.
I’m finding the ATC incredibly transparent, it’s scaling well and is a beautiful combo with the N50.
I’d love to try the petites but nobody up here in the wild tundra does them.
Richer SOUNDS have offered me a pair with a good discount and I could try at home with all that faff or just stick with the ATC which I am enjoying a lot

You can’t go wrong with ATC in my book. The SCM40 easily showed up its ‘rivals’ when I auditioned them in 2017. I still have them, and hanker for the Active version which I had to forgo when I got the chance to buy the ‘barn find’ Sonus faber Guarneri Memento.

The SCM11 has the same tweeter as all the modestly called ‘Entry’ series. All the drivers are made in sunny Gloucestershire. Transparent is indeed the word! 🙂

Heading off thread but I am considering replacing my prodigy 5 now with SCM19 as well!

You’re sounding like an ATC convert! They are excellent speakers, though some find them too revealing I think. Can you run to SCM40s though it might be worth looking for used or ex demo?

I can run to 40s but not needed.
The 19s would be fine in my snug.
I’m going to try the 11s in here tomorrow.
My big room has some TX9 s. They’re a hybrid I suppose of ATC and PMC. Big buggers!
