![]() Hi, I have used ProAc's for the last couple of years, powered by a Bryston and bought a pair of SCM25's about 6 weeks ago, (had used them at British Grove and an engineer i work with regularly had bought a pair last year). I'm thinking of demoing some other speakers. Does the description of my ATCs sound typical? I do work professionally with my music (generally for TV) but I don't get to go to different studios, so my experience of other monitoring setups is limited. In other words, I can't listen to 75% of my record collection without thinking 'this production sounds wrong' Often older tracks sound unbelievably thin and light. Various older productions such as (to pick a few at random) Led Zep, early Depeche Mode, Madonna, even Marvin Gaye's What's Going On, do not really have a sound that I would like to sit down and enjoy with a beer. Even modern productions like QUOTSA have such a detailed mid range but seem to lack weight or thump. But on the other hand most rock music does not fare so well. Basically modern often electronic production that uses the full spectrum (or perhaps hypes the bass end?) sounds 'correct'. The worry is that some commercial tracks sound great - lots of modern productions particularly, some examples would be Daft Punk - Get Lucky, Pharrel's Marilyn Monroe, London Grammar's 'Hey Now', the new Coldplay. ![]() I very much enjoy working on my mixes with the ATCs but I have a worry. I have found the mid range on the ATCs extraordinarily clear and detailed. I do not have a perfect room, but the basics are in place (cloud, first reflection panels, and I also have a lot of trapping in the corners). I added a Focal CMS Sub to the setup after a couple of months as I found the ATCs a bit light in the bass. ![]() I upgraded from ProAc Studio 100s to ATC 25As about 9 months ago.
