I know about the
Resolution Magazine test of the ATC SCM25ASL, but this specific test seems to be nowhere to be seen in the discussion, while the measurement from Sound and Recording was, in AAC's post n°269.
"Do I have to versify?" What does that even mean ? Even in French it is meaningless. Your posts are confusing.
As as far as the general discussion is concerned, I said what I had to say in post n°261. I don't think ATC are the best speakers in the world, nor do I think they are bad speakers. But there are considerations in professional studios that make the choice of such speakers more logical than in a home Hifi setting.
Despite what Thomas from Northward says I think detailed measurements (and not only on axis FR and harmonic distortion) are the future. We would not imagine choosing a CPU or graphic card for a computer without looking at its objective measurements, price/performance ratio etc. The same should be true for speakers to me. And despite not having state of the art FR and directivity, measurements like unit to unit uniformity and long term compression test, like Erin does, would probably put ATC in a better light.
Thomas seems to think that speaker buyers are not knowledgeable enough to make enlightened decisions, which is probably partly true. But the situation is not going to improve if said buyers remain ignorant thanks to manufacturers's unwillingness to give measurements or to have a more rational mindset in general. Without objective proof there is no reason ATC should be trusted more than any overpriced and underperforming competitors, with companies established for as long as ATC.
