Reviews
Hi-Fi Plus. "The ATCs are full bandwidth speakers that have grip in the bottom end - the bass is deep, solid and, thanks to the active operation, tactile. It has a degree of solidity that makes everything feel like it’s in the room. I had a lot of fun with this system and it has reignited my enthusiasm for active speakers"
Positive Feedback. "ATC combine much of the dynamic characteristics of horn drivers, while leaving behind the shouty, cupped hands sound. They also show the immediacy and speed of electrostats, yet are able to play loudly and dynamically. Vocals are extraordinarily clear and clean - well recorded vocals have a clarity, immediacy and "speed" that few other cone driver brands have."
Tone Audio: "ATC’s long held reputation for accuracy is put on full display. Pick any number of popular classic recordings and the results are the same, spot-on pitch and tonal clarity."
