In terms of house sound, ATC has this special sauce in the mids which I have not come across in other brands so far in my travels. Welcome to SNA! I don’t usually post much, but as Dynaudio & ATC are brands I have listened to and love, I’ll give my 2 cents worth.įirstly I would say that’s a fairly big price difference between the 2 speakers, 18k vs 33k? I’m guessing you are probably going to set aside a fairly big chunk for an amplifier for the Dynaudio, seeing as the ATC 100ASLs are active? In general, I'd say I'm biased to a slightly 'warmer' presentation in the top end (strong aversion to anything too harsh or bright), but that said, I highly value overall balance.įor me it's all about the music, not the system - I love to play (bass and piano) and listen in equal measure - and whilst I am passionate about great sound - I'm certainly not obsessed with trying to find 'perfection' in hi-fi.Īs I'm sure many do here, I take my time to try to find good recordings both in terms of the actual performance and recording quality. I predominately listen to classical (piano concertos and symphonies), organ, choir, blues, and jazz. In the past, I've spent a lot of time with B&W 801 S3, and 800D, and I'm currently listening to Focal Clear headphones with Burson Audio 3XR DAC/Amp - a combination I am extremely impressed with. Just for context on my potential biases / hi-fi journey to date: And I am thinking about this aspect carefully in my decision, but not necessarily seeking for it to be the focus of this discussion. I fully understand room will play a big factor - but I'm really just keen to hear folks genuine feedback on overall real world satisfaction with the sound having lived with the speakers for some time - I will of course be mindful that room may be playing a role in the different opinions. Hence - keen to hear from folks living with ATC and specifically whether you are satisfied with the low bass performance over time. All else equal - I think I would choose the ATC however, bass response of ATC was not as satisfying or as complete as the dynaudio - and I like bass (organ, large symphony etc.). ATC to me is the more organic and convincing in terms of presenting the natural timbre of instruments, particularly piano, but Contour was also excellent, very balanced and had more depth to low bass. I have spent some time listening to both, and IMO both are fantastic. I'm very interested to hear from anyone who has lived with either of these speakers for a reasonable amount of time and would appreciate any / all impressions you wish to share.
