ATC's new SIACD - Amplifier/CD/DAC is reviewed by Andrew Everard in the February 2014 issue of Gramphone magazine -
“This is a no-compromise ‘music centre’ for those willing to look beyond the mini-system norm, hand-built in Britain, backed with a six-year warranty and capable of delivering the kind of sound for which you might expect to need a separate CD player, amplifier and power amp. It’s really not hard to see the appeal of this package…”

Stereophile review ATC's new curved SCM7 passive monitors
http://www.stereophile.com/content/fifth-element-83
Third Generation SCM7
ATC’s SH25-76 soft dome tweeter is joined by the company’s highly linear 125mm mid/bass driver. It features a 45mm soft dome - exceptional for its horizontal dispersion of mid-band frequencies - and a huge 3.5kg high-energy magnet system, which includes a 45mm flat wire voice coil, meticulously milled and formed by ATC. The magnet system and a carefully weighted doped fabric cone assembly contribute to the SCM7’s wide bandwidth, impressive dynamic range and convincing bass output - all from a tiny seven litre cabinet.

Stereomojo review ATC's curved SCM11 passive monitors
http://www.stereomojo.com/ATC SCM11 Version2 Speaker review/ATCSCM11Version2review.htm
Second Generation SCM11
The new SCM11 features ATC’s SH25-76 with an ATC CLD 150mm mid-bass driver incorporating a 45mm soft dome. Constrained Layer Damping is a driver cone technology exclusive to ATC and represents a step-change in driver-to-system performance. Advantages include reduced harmonic distortion between 300Hz and 3 kHz, an extended frequency response that eases constraints on the crossover filter slope, and improved off-axis response.

ATC SCM110ASL Professional installation at Steffen Muller Mastering
The ATCs are in! What a relief, and what a big improvement over the B&Ws. The Nautilus N802 are absolutely great speakers but for working the ATCs are just another level. We already did a few records on the new system, plus extensive listening/testing and the results are pretty stunning . Still a few cosmetics to do....

ATC's new Special Edition S50 monitors featuring their new Super SH26-76 HF unit
To celebrate ATC turning 40 years old, ATC have manufactured a limited run of 10 pairs of Special Edition S50 Loudspeakers. The S50 was the first ever ATC HiFi Loudspeaker. The 2014 edition uses a 9″ SL Bass driver, a Super Midrange Dome and the new ATC S Tweeter. It comes in either active (P6 powered) or passive form. All metalwork is finished in dull nickel and the baffle is covered in real leather.

Stereophile review ATC's curved SCM19 passive monitors
http://www.stereophile.com/content/fifth-element-85
Featuring the new ATC designed and built 25mm soft dome tweeter, updated bass/mid drivers and crossovers housed in a curved, laminated cabinet, the first of a new range of ATC closed-box passive loudspeakers has arrived. The second generation SCM19 employs ATC’s landmark SH25-76 tweeter, developed to satisfy the company’s long-established rigour in drive unit engineering.
SH25-76 Tweeter
Sharing technology with the renowned ATC soft domed mid-range drive unit, the new tweeter employs a unique dual suspension system suppressing rocking modes even at high power output levels. The ATC configuration of a short edge-wound voice coil in a long, narrow magnetic gap ensures exceptionally low distortion throughout its operating band and removes the need for ferrofluids, which can dry out over time, compromising performance.
A complex, shaped, soft-domed diaphragm extends high frequency range and offers a smooth off-axis response. The tweeter’s 15,000 gauss (1.5 tesla) neodymium magnet has a black heat-treated top plate, which dissipates heat away from the voice coil to maintain high power handling and low power compression. A precision-machined 5.5mm rigid alloy waveguide provides optimum dispersion, a flat on-axis frequency response and resonance-free operation.

New Cabinets and Systems
Establishing what is to be a new style for ATC’s most competitively priced range of loudspeakers, the new SCM19's benefit acoustically and aesthetically from a curved cabinet construction. Braced and laminated for high rigidity and damping, the curved enclosures in real cherry or black ash veneer also impart a strong impression of design quality. Improved crossovers featuring metallised polypropylene capacitors, large air cored inductors and ceramic wire-round resistors offer superior power handling and clarity. The SCM19 exhibit an impedance curve free from low values, presenting an easy load for amplifiers of 75 to 300 watts. The SCM19 is designed for optimum performance with the grill in place – although the difference in performance without the grill is minimal. The metal grille, finished in anthracite grey, fixes to the cabinet via hidden magnets. According to tradition, each model number represents internal cabinet volume in litres.
Second Generation SCM19
ATC’s SH25-76 soft dome tweeter is joined by the company’s highly linear 150mm mid/bass driver. It features an integrated 75mm soft dome – exceptional for its horizontal dispersion of mid-band frequencies – and a huge 9kg high-energy, ‘Super Linear’ magnet system, which includes a 75mm diameter flat wire, underhung voice coil, meticulously milled and formed by ATC. The magnet system and a carefully weighted doped fabric cone assembly contribute to the SCM19’s wide bandwidth, impressive dynamic range and convincing bass output coupled with very low distortion as a result of the unique ‘Super Linear’ motor system.
