ATC studio monitors

Average product. Excellent marketing. Over credulous customers.

 

Sony, Telarc, etc have reputations of their own to uphold, and very large budgets for monitoring speakers, I would have thought. That they select ATC speaks volumes, and says nothing at all about their credulity.

You are attempting to blacken the reputations of three industry leaders. Why?

 

Sony telarc etc use atc in the studio to do a job. I am sure atc are fine at that job. That they select atc to do that job speaks volumes - about atcs ability to do that job. Which is not the job of reproducing music accurately for enjoyment in my opinion.

I am not trying to blacken anything - I am just stating that the reputation, reviews and hype are worthless. Products stand and fall by their performance. Which is average in this case.

 

Sony selected the ATCs to demonstrate their new (at the time) 5.1 SACD.

"Reproducing music accurately" is what hi-fi is all about, FFS!

 

Yes it is - but ATC adds something. Which is fine - possibly helpful for the studio. But it isnt music. Forget the marketing or silly comments about PMC from atc owners. Give them a listen.

 

How does adding "something" make life easier for the studio?

 

Is this cobblers still going on
They are both flawed in different areas. However who the f%%K cares

 

Only bub cares. But unless I answer this drivel he keeps pestering me.

All speakers are flawed.

 

Some more so than others its seems

 

The "cobblers" was generated by you, Tony.

Zero to hi-fi expert in three years, pretty good going!

 

All according to preference Tony. Choose your compromise

 

Yes, but ATC are less flawed, certainly that anything else I've heard, and the people who know recognise that.

 

In your opinion.

 

Midrange distortion is not one of them in ATC's case.

 

James, thanks you for understand, trust and best wishes
Fact still remains, both sets of speakers are for a very small minority.
So a slap on the back for I'm in the best monitor in the world club (parts 1 & 2)
Either way they would never grace any listening room of mine

 

*grin*

 

surely its time to put and end to this thread..?

 

Yes, but your opinion flies in the face of so many others. This is the wonderful thing about the 'net. Any Tom, Dick, or Harry can waltz along, give his worthless opinion, and people may actually listen to it. Instant Expert status, no effort/experience required, just like Tony here.

Your erroneous description of Lyra cartridges was bad enough, now we are treated to your offbeat views on ATC, Linn, and Naim. What's next?

 

James,

You such an old stick in the mud !!! lighten up

 

Can I warmly recommend the Linn Akiva cartridge to you, Tony? It really is awesome.
