I was sceptical too as the 25's only has 6.5" bass drivers - but in my room, they are the most forgiving monitor position wise I have ever owned and when I switch between my Blue Sky 2.1 system which is satellite's and a small sub the ATC's sound no less big, no less bass. literally if you turned that sub up too high!ġ5:38:05 GMT -6 thehightenor said:The bass is there - with all ATC monitors the bass is so clean (the distortion of their new sub is like 0.003%) that you think it's not loud but it really is there I think as a 2.1 system you'd be blow away. The sub is priced quite reasonably in a relative way - the 25's and the sub come in around the price of those 50's you were offered. I honestly don't need it though - it would be too much bass for my room. It there's not enough bass for your taste then ATC have just released a 300W sub to go with them (or 12's ,20's, 45's even 50's) that will give you trouser flapping bass if your require it.

within the mix - I personally find them amazing monitors - truly like X Ray Vision.įor me the HEDD's just don't offer the mid range resolution of the ATC famed mid driver and that's were the 25's have that ability to scream at you to fix things in the mix - nothing get's past them The bass lines on Hey Nineteen by the Dan are just amazing on the 25's - like the guy is playing in the room - so tight and articulate, you sense the strings vibrating When you realise the sheer level of clarity. The bass is there - with all ATC monitors the bass is so clean (the distortion of their new sub is like 0.003%) that you think it's not loud but it really is there My conclusion was, much as I'd loved to have bought 45's or better still 50's - my room is too small. The 25's are the right size for my room, no question in my mind and the translation of mixes is simply perfect. The 50's I was reliably told would require me to sit in the mid-field to get the best from them and my room simply isn't long enoughĪs I was trying as best as possible to stick to the 38% rule, which in my experience works. I concluded 45's where simply too big width wise - I would of been facing 4 feet of speaker in a room only 11 ft wide!!

Resulting in the 25's in my room having easily enough full articulate bass. I have them as close to the back wall as the amps cooling will allow - this reduces greatly any room bass nulls and slightly loads (by design) the bass response They are on huge expensive speakers stands behind my desk (essential in my opinion to avoid unwanted reflections) and towards the back wall to give me enough distance to create a 65" triangle of love audiophile sweet spot I have GIK designed full acoustic treatment in it.Īfter great though and discussion and having the budget for 25's 45's or second hand 50's I went for the 25's.
