I slightly lost track of this thread, or perhaps I lost interest but anyway I was looking for something in Google Groups and came across this post from Bob Ludwig who is a giant in the mastering world, and uses (or at least used) the active ATC50s at home and the larger ones at work:

Dear Gregory,

I use the ATC50s at home and I like them a lot.
At our studio we use the ATC100s (a larger more rugged version) in
our editing/CD preparation room. We use a sub-woofer with the ATC
100s in the studio, at home I haven't felt the need for one.
Generally, I found the ATC 50s a more perfectly balanced speaker, but
the 100's have withstood hour after hour of use in a professional
edit room with no component replacement needed in almost 5 years.
Clients like them a lot, too.

As I mentioned earlier in the thread (many pages ago), Bob now uses Eggleston Works speakers in his mastering studio. But the fact that ATCs were good enough for his use both at home and at the studio suggests to me that they are probably less problematic speakers than some on this thread seem to think.
