    ATC's SCM20ASL is 10,999 dollars active - what happens when you want a center?

    ecoustics has a review up of the ATC SCM20ASL, the British active standmount, at 10,999 dollars a pair. Their summary is the one ATC always gets: built like a tank, unforgiving, world-class. They don't publish measurements in the piece, so I'm not going to pretend I know how it behaves off axis...

    MartinLogan ESL 15A review sold me on the panel, worried me about the seats

    Read through the Renaissance ESL 15A review and the engineering still fascinates me.

    Do your four Atmos heights need to match the speakers below them?

    Someone going 5.1 to 5.1.4 with a properly mixed system, in-wall KEF Ci4100QL-THX up front, a Q250c centre, Polk OWM3s on surround duty, an RSL 10S sub, all pulled together with Dirac on an RZ-30, and the question is whether the four heights have to match any of it.
