Bah...There was a fight and I missed it!

Anyway, I'll start by saying I have never heard a pair of ATC speakers but am regularly exposed to a pair of PMC MB2s which I believe share some traits with ATC most notably a 3 inch dome mid.

They sound superb and that's that. I can see why someone would love them. Detail, bass, speed it's all there, I assume the ATCs are similar from the comments on this thread.

Unfortunately I could never have or for that matter want a pair because the above only applies at about 10 times my normal listening volume. They really need some driving (my friend uses several Bryston monoblocks).

For domestic use I'd have thought there are better options that offer the same but at a more domestically acceptable level.
