ATC join Purité Active Loudspeaker roundup!

[Purité Audio]

Spent a very enjoyable morning discussing all things audio with ATC's Ben Lilly , he is a Salford graduate
( Salford is the UK equivalent of McGill ) worked t Genelec for a time and is now with ATC.

I explaind to Ben our idea of collecting the world's finest/best measuring/ most interesting active loudspeakers under one roof and he has allowed Purité Audio to stock ATC.
We will start with the classic active 50's.
ATC will join Grimm Audio, PSI, Manger Audio ,Kii THREE and eventually B&O's Beolab 90's in our active line up.

Awesome Keith! They are great speakers. I can't wait to see pictures of the Superstream, PD2, and a pair of ATC's!

Mike Hi, don't worry you will!
I ordered everything you suggested ,everything has arrived and is all set up waiting for the Superstream!
Really looking forward to it.
Very Best.

Okay perfect. It will be there tomorrow. There's just 1 thing you need to do with that switch to set it up. You must log into the admin panel and add eth5 (the fiber port) to switch 0. It's very easy. the only pain is you must set your computer to a static connection with IP of 192.168.1.100, and plug an Ethernet cable into eth #1 to log in.

It's a bit of a pain but a 2 minute job that only needs done once.

Looked at the map, and streetview, and, not knowing how London sets addresses, am wondering how your location became #6...

Congratulations, Keith!

The ATC SCM150ASL Pro, given the proper room/space, impresses me.
Moreover, I mentioned to a friend the availability of the Grimm Audio LS1/LS1s
(Grimm Audio's flagship hifi product at that time) and he purchased the system
a year or two, ago. I see it has now been superseded.

I don't get to London often, but would be keen on visiting you, then.

Vbr,

Sam

After a bit of a delay our first pair of ATC's 'classic' active 50's arrive tomorrow, I am genuinely excited to hear them here and compare them to our other active loudspeakers.

Wow, even with currency conversion ($17991), that's a significant discount to the price in the US. And that's not including the rebatable VAT.

The black butch, domestically unfriendly SCM50ASLPro is $15k USD and the "home" version is ~$20k.
