seadog Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) Item: ATC SCM40A - Active Speakers in Cherry Location: Perth Price: $7,300 Item Condition: 9.5/10 & only because it's been used from new. Not a mark or scratch on them. Less than 12m old. Reason for selling: Moving further up the ATC range Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, Direct Bank Deposit Only Extra Info: This is an EOI only because I will not be ready to sell these until May this year. There is an approx. 6 week lead time if you wanted these new from a dealer anyway, that just the way it is with ATC, they are built to order basically. These speakers sell themselves. If you know ATC then you know they are a rock solid speaker company in regards to build quality, long warranty (6 years and fully transfereable to new owners), from a company who has been doing consumer and pro. active speakers for decades, a massive reputation and following for their sound quality and build quality - they simply do not fail (you have to abuse them or a lightning strike etc.) The reviews are all over the web, and on ATC own website, on hi fi forums etc. I was not really an active speaker believer before, now I will never go back to a passive, happy to discuss in depth to anyone intersted in these on why active speakers are the way to go. The build date of these are May 2019, so they will still have 5 years worth of warranty to run for the new owner. Cannot get better piece of mind than that. I have all the original boxes, manuals, speaker grills, powercords etc. I have mine in a 4m x 8m room and they are great in that size room, and being a sealed speaker design, you can also get by in much smaller room than you would think too. So I need to align the sale of these speakers with my order of the speakers that I am moving up to, hence the looooooong EOI time frame. Happy to discuss and demo. local in Perth and happy to ship to an interstate buyer, however the buyer pays the shipping & insurance etc. **The Isolation feet and powercords in the photos are not part of the sale, I'll be keeping them for the new speakers.** Edited February 11, 2020 by seadog 5 1

Ericcklau Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) Your room should be big enough for SCM50, will go for even more SCM 100? Edited February 11, 2020 by Ericcklau

Expand Oh OK.Yes ATC SCM100A would be good in that size room but SCM150A would be perfect as I have heard both speakers & they are both very nice.The SCM150A just has that extra deep bass so really no need for a sub & that speaker can play louder then most domestic & commercial speakers.I love the staging of the SCM150A especially when played loud Edited February 11, 2020 by Conrad1970
genkifd Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 ive heard the act 100A recently, i concur they are very nice. even though i didnt decide the purchase them they came very close.
seadog Posted February 12, 2020 Author Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) Although my room is 4m x 8m, they have to fit in a very specific area. The photo is pretty much what I have to work with. Perhaps up to 10cm or so movement out/in/back/forward - but that’s it. I am basically hooked on ATC and specifically active ATC sound now. I just want more of the same. So, it’s looking like the 50A at this stage. As much as I would love the 100A............. Edited February 12, 2020 by seadog 3 1

Expand You will be very happy with the ATC SCM50A as that is my favourite ATC speaker simply because it is tonally correct.I love the 10" driver of the ATC even though it doesn't have the impact like the 100a or 150a it is more musical & still has a beautiful balance in all frequencies.One of my top 10 speakers I have listened to & thank Proac & especially Stuart Tyler for finding this 10" woofer from ATC.

seadog Posted February 12, 2020 Author Posted February 12, 2020 Cheers Bob, how are those D48R speakers going ?
s7e6e Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 PMs sent. I'm interested. I'll put the 250DR and Dynaudio X38 for sale again. May works for me, it gives me time to move these.
