Just press play
As a SCM100ASLT owner I respectfully disagree. They do not need to be played loud at all to produce great sound.I think that it is true to say that the larger ATC's are not great at low ( ish ) volume and do respond to being driven at higher volumes.
But that doesn't suit every room nor every listener.
What’s happening here (from the OP’s description) is an untreated, pretty small room is being energised in a way his previous system didn’t/couldn't and its causing a cacophony of noise. Get first reflection points on side walls and behind listening position treated with some absorption panels and things will improve dramatically. Add bass traps and bass response and midrange will come into its own and you’ll get to hear what your 50s are actually doing. It’s most definitely not the hardware, it’s the room!
