Which pre have you ordered?
My system now has an Icon Audio LA4 mkii feeding a pair of John Bowers (B&W) Active One's.
The pre I heard ATLs with when I fell in love with them, a Modwright LS36.5.

And currently having to make do with a little Aune X1 DAC/Pre. Not too refined at present (but actually not that bad at all really). Only a couple of weeks until my Modwright 36.5 turns up I hope.
Looks nice. I've never seen or heard one. Will you be doing a little review when everything's settled down?
Best wishes

Quoted shipping date from the factory is the 20th so not long!
Ian, is that setup in your middle room, rather than the room out back?
Great thread and they look (and I'm sure sound) great. Don't ya just love it when a plan comes together
What have you been listening to?
I agree ATCs have good dispersion characteristics. But I think their design goal is "well transitioned dispersion" rather than maximum dispersion at all frequencies (think Genelec). Not an unreasonable scheme, to my mind. Bass radiates 360 degrees and so reducing dispersion by frequency is a natural part of the paradigm for closed baffles. The trick is making it gradual and orderly enough.Not a lot of point toeing in, as these are wide dispersion speakers. They work very well on Mana stands if you can find them. Congrats on a pair of awesome speakers.
