In the latest edition of UK based Hi-fi+ magazine, Jason Kennedy has reviewed a very simple, modern yet extremely high performance system: ATC SCM40A active 3-way loudspeakers and Naim NAC-N 272 streaming preamp

Jason way highly impressed and here is just a little of what he had to say:
"... the ATCs are full bandwidth speakers that have grip in the bottom end and a total absence of ventilation on the cabinet.  The bass is deep, solid and, thanks to the active operation, tactile. It has a degree of solidity that makes everything feel like it's in the room, that and the ability to play at the sort of level that approaches that of live sound you get in a studio control room."
