Any Experience With ATC SCM25A?

ATC doesn’t know how to build a bad speaker, the 25 is interesting. Yes they are a 3 way near field, but they are not near field in the modern sense that you can taste them your so close, these are near field as in 3-4 feet away on the bridge of a console. Close to the back wall will give a bit more lowend, but they really sing with at least 1 foot behind them or more. To keep them at a reasonable size they use The non SL woofer and non S mid blus a Scanpeak? I think tweeter, you won’t notice unless you do a side by side with the more expensive ATC drivers, I can only think of one Non ATC dome that beats this one.
The hardest thing to get use to with any ATC is the lowend, they don’t go as low as most but what you get in return is the lowest distortion of any dynamic driver made. For some this is perfect, for others distortion be damned I need my lowend ( I tend to fall into this group but I still want great bass!) the biggest problem for most who don’t like ATC is they really, really are hard to mate well with a sub other than ones that say ATC!
If you can live with the above they are really hard to beat, to get to a complete speaker that I would pick over the 25’s it would be the 50’s or the smallest Quested custom series ( more bass more distortion but as close distortion wise as it gets). Yet they translate for many.

For me they were a “game changer” (though I hate to use that term) but really it’s a true statement.

The only downside was hearing my old mixes made with K&H 0300’s and realising just how many mix errors I’d made.

The 25’s are brutal, anything less than the perfect mix will scream out at you to fix it !!
The mid driver is where so much of the magic is, the detail and resolution on offer is truly incredible and as so much program material is in this critical band, for me
it's the reason ATC’s are such a useful mix tool.

Watch out for your volume though, the distortion is so low that you get tempted to turn them up more and more …. and they go seriously loud for small monitors.
For a small project studio the 25’s are perfect, a big room would benefit from the 50’s.

When I first listened to some Steely Dan mixes on them it was possible to sense the rooms in which the instruments where recorded - there's really that much 3D resolution.
Also, for me the bass is very fast, articulate and smooth and more than enough for my needs - I never feel I need a sub - but I don't make dance music or EDM so maybe that's a different need in the low's.

I find them to be very room forgiving and not picky at all about placement (I have mine close to my back wall)- I use mine in the traditional 65" monitoring triangle which makes them almost mid-field I guess.

All ATC monitors are superb imho - they're a lot of dollars to buy but I think if you can make the push you won't regret it - definitely worthy of a demo.

I agree. The woofer on the 25s seem low, not tight. Hence the warm feeling. They are very room-dependant. Do not buy unless you could try them at your place. I have experienced this with the 25s. I tried them in the main studio I work at where they absolutely shine, and I moved them in my personal studio where they absolutely sucked. I did not experience this with my ADAMs, or now my Trio6.

Interesting, of all the monitors I've owned over the last 40 years I've found the 25's to be the least room dependent - in fact very forgiving relative to for example my old K&H 0300's or a pair of Focal Twins I had for a while.

But it's great to hear other peoples experiences.
