What reviewers think

Bloggers and YouTubers have tried this product—so we've summarized their strongest opinions below. Links to full reviews follow.

Product Strengths

  • Voices are reproduced very naturally and with fine resolution, reminiscent of an enjoyable studio monitor
  • The combination of ATC's amplifier and speaker technology produces better depth and acoustics than passive crossovers
  • Clean, lively and insightful without hardness or brightness
  • The active design makes the amplifier's life easier, giving it a far better chance of controlling the voice coil and thus reducing distortion
  • Only has an XLR connection

Product Considerations

  • Can be demanding of amplification and source material
  • Bass can be considered a little shy
  • Not intended for large rooms or large listening distances

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • Vs ATC SCM19 (passive): The SCM19A is a stronger, more muscular version of the passive one
  • Vs ATC SCM40: The 19As were missing the bandwidth and scale of the larger siblings—the SCM40

Takeaway: The ATC SCM19A is a hifi speaker that provides an engaging and honest sound, with an incredibly transparent midrange. Its design ensures the listener always gets an exciting musical performance.

What are hifi reviews useful for? (1) Identifying products you should demo in person at a dealer. (2) Learning which products reviewers unanimously praise as the best they've heard (this means they probably are legitimately great). (3) Identifying a product's attributes that satisfy your idiosyncratic needs and tastes. Beyond that, we often discount what reviewers say because they heap praise on most products—and are often apprehensive about publishing strong criticism or comparisons between products. Further, they seldom have more than a few products on-hand, often relying on their memories to compare past products. Always listen for yourself.

Brand highlights

Taking a step back to look at reviewers' thoughts of the brand's entire lineup—not just this product—what stands out most is the following:

  • ATC's commitment to in-house driver design and manufacturing allows for tight control over performance characteristics and seamless integration across their entire product line.
  • They primarily use active designs with electronic crossovers and dedicated amplifiers for each driver, optimizing power delivery and minimizing distortion compared to passive crossovers.
  • ATC speakers prioritize accuracy, neutrality, and wide dynamic range, resulting in a sound signature that may expose flaws in recordings or upstream components.

SCM7 MK3

  • Positioning: The entry-level model in ATC's loudspeaker lineup.
  • Description: Features a compact design and precise sound, with a 25mm soft dome tweeter and a 125mm mid-bass driver. Compared to the SCM19, it offers a smaller footprint, making it ideal for small rooms or desktop setups, but it lacks the larger bass driver and higher sensitivity found in the SCM19.

SCM19

  • Positioning: A mid-range model in the Entry Series, offering a balance between performance and size.
  • Description: Features an "SL" spec bass driver and 75mm integral soft dome, providing excellent phase coherence and bass response. It offers a more robust soundstage than the SCM7 MK3.

SCM19A

  • Positioning: An active version of the SCM19, positioned as a higher-end option within the Entry Series.
  • Description: Includes an on-board 182-watt Class A/B bi-amplifier, delivering enhanced sound clarity and power. It uses active crossover filters, unlike the passive SCM19, which requires external amplification.

SCM40A

  • Positioning: The groundbreaking flagship model of the Entry Series, offering the most advanced features and performance.
  • Description: Equipped with a tri-amplifier system and a 164mm bass driver, providing exceptional sound quality and dynamic range. It surpasses the SCM19A with its additional mid-range driver and higher power output.

Check Amazon
Expand Details

Product Strengths

  • The Focus 50 offers a unique proposition by bridging the gap between audiophiles and Sonos customers, offering a solution for both
  • A pleasing mixture of being quiet, easy going and relaxed, but also with very good timing, clarity and information
  • The Dynaudio app is simple and easy to use; it lets users adjust the frequency balance of the speakers sound between dark, neutral and bright
  • The Focus 50 delivers a lot of bass output with fantastic extension, tightness, control, grace, and smoothness if placed correctly in the room
  • The sealed cabinet design likely makes the Focus 50 more flexible for placement

Product Considerations

  • The most important connectivity option missing is HDMI, which is a big omission
  • Sometimes, the overall sonic resolution could be higher
  • The treble can be a little too smooth at times
  • Although wireless connection is possible, the Focus 50s sound noticeably better if the two speakers are connected together with a cable

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • Compared to the Evoke 50 paired with $5,500 worth of gear, the Focus 50's performance could not be matched

Takeaway: The Focus 50 provides excellent sound quality combined with flexibility and ease of use, making it a great choice for those with limited space but who still desire stellar sound. It fits different needs and offers high end sound that can be very impressive.

Reviews
Voxativ is a Berlin-based hifi brand that handcrafts single-driver loudspeakers without crossovers, resulting in more coherent sound reproduction through their field coil drivers. Their speakers are specifically designed for audiophiles who prefer tube amplification, as their high-efficiency drivers perform exceptionally well with low-powered amplifiers.
Check Amazon
Expand Details

Product Strengths

  • Combining a high-efficiency unfiltered 5' widebander with adjustable active bass is a golden ticket for flea-watt amps
  • Ripol subs are faster and better tuned than any other available subs
  • The Hagen in the Alberich2 system has been modified to strengthen the 100-300Hz response
  • The woofer has been upgraded to a paper-cone neodymium woofer mounted to a 6mm steel plate for optimal silence
  • Offers adjustable frequency, level, and phase

Product Considerations

  • A client complaint about the cost of the subs when combined with the Hagen2 speakers
  • The design and concept are unconventional and not for the mainstream

Takeaway: The Alberich2 is an exciting product due to its bandwidth, LF control, and cosmetic footprint advantages over competitors. It offers physical separation of bass bin from the main driver, plus bass volume control for tonal balance

KEF
LS60 Wireless
5499
/
Released
2022
The LS60 Wireless delivers truly realistic, high-fidelity sound for home entertainment. Its slim, plug and play design, packed with KEF's key technology, offers the whole package: not only does it look as good as it performs, it boasts extensive connectivity options.
Check Amazon
KEF's signature Uni-Q technology places the tweeter in the center of the woofer to create a single point source for sound, while their Metamaterial Absorption Technology absorbs 99% of unwanted sound from the rear of the driver. Their Music Integrity Engine corrects timing errors in the speaker crossover, and their Shadow Flare technology reduces diffraction for improved detail and clarity in sound reproduction.
Expand Details

Our Summary

Product Strengths

  • Striking, sleek, and modern design that complements modern interiors
  • Incorporates KEF's Uni-Q driver array and Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT) for neutral, open, detailed sound, reducing unwanted sound from the rear of the tweeter
  • Includes Uni-Core force-canceling woofers that reduce cabinet vibrations, contributing to balanced and detailed bass
  • The KEF Connect app allows for adjustments to fit the listening environment
  • Offers high connectivity and is a true stand-alone system

Product Considerations

  • Bass can be a bit too much out of the box, requiring adjustments via the app or placement considerations
  • Not well-suited for those who have many signal sources to connect to
  • Some reviewers found the bass lacked definition in the upper bass, with unclear instrument placement, even after adjusting EQ settings
  • The included remote control is considered basic or cheap
  • Mandatory online registration and administrator-level internet connection requirements for the app may be a drawback for privacy-conscious users

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • Compared to the Bang & Olufsen Beolab 28, the LS60 Wireless can achieve similar sound quality with adjustments, at a lower price point, although the Beolab 28 sounds 'more right' straight out of the factory
  • Compared to the KEF LS50 Wireless II, the LS60 Wireless is preferred stylistically, achieves near full-range playback, and has a more slim design, although it costs more and also provides much deeper bass
  • Compared to the Q Acoustics Active 400 Towers, the LS60 Wireless has no issues with products not working

Takeaway: The KEF LS60 Wireless are stylish, all-in-one speakers that deliver a balanced, detailed sound with advanced technology. They are a convenient, high-performing solution for those seeking a streamlined audio setup.

  • Vs KEF LS50 Wireless II: The LS60 offers improved performance and near full-range playback, but at a higher price, the LS50 Wireless II offers similar clarity with a slightly warmer sound
  • Vs Klipsch Forte 4: The LS60 is more suited for home theater use and surface more detail
  • Vs Q Acoustics Q Active 400 Towers, Dali Oberon 7C Wireless, and Bowers & Wilkins Formation Duos: The LS60 is considered a better, more refined and adjustable package
  • Vs Hegel H190 & KEF LS50 Meta with KEF KC-62 Subwoofer: The LS60 communicates the forward force of music better and has features such as Tidal Connect and room EQ
  • Vs Lindemann TD-AI1120, KEF LS50 Meta & KEF KC-62 Subwoofer: The LS60 cannot be matched in scale and effortless dynamics

Expand Details

Our Summary

Product Strengths

Product Considerations

  • The status LED on the front does not replace a display
  • Setup is not exactly intuitive
  • Without Dirac Live, the bass can sometimes be too strong for music listening
  • A dedicated midrange unit would give both strings and woodwinds more depth and body
  • Dirac adjustment slightly reduces volume levels, as some frequencies are attenuated

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • Vs KEF LS60 Wireless: The bass response is tighter and better defined
  • Vs KEF LS60 Wireless: The soundstage is more open and transparent
  • Vs KEF LS60 Wireless: The stereo perspective is more sharply defined, and the soundstage is larger
  • Vs ELAC Navis ARF-51 & NAD C 658: A deeper soundstage is created, with better front-to-back layering and image specificity
  • Vs ELAC Navis ARF-51 & NAD C 658: During intense passages, the presentation was more transparent
  • Vs KEF LS60 Wireless: Piano sounds better because nuances are more clearly defined and the treble reproduction is airier

Takeaway: The Dynaudio Focus 30 is a great system because it sounds very detailed with pinpoint imaging. The Focus 30 is perfectly suited as a wireless speaker for those seeking excellent sound in their home.

Paradigm
Founder 120H
7649
/
Released
2021
Precision. Control. Dynamics. These are the pillars the Founder Series was built on. Fire and ice, oil and water, Yankees and Mets fans. Some things just don't mix. But what if form and function could? Every once in a while, something special comes along and changes the rules. The perfect blend of technology, design, and performance. At the start of the development, we knew one thing, when Art Embraces Science anything is possible, and we exceeded our wildest expectations.
Check Amazon
Paradigm is a Canadian hifi speaker brand that designs and builds their products locally, using advanced materials like beryllium in their drivers and their proprietary PPA lens technology for better sound dispersion. Their speakers are favored by audiophiles seeking high-end sound at relatively lower prices, and they integrate Anthem Room Correction technology to optimize performance in modern open-concept homes with challenging acoustics.
Expand Details

Our Summary

Product Strengths

  • Anthem Room Correction (ARC) Genesis allows use to calibrate the speakers to specific room acoustics up to 300 Hz
  • Hybrid design features built-in amplifiers powering the bass section, delivering up to 1000 watts for the three woofers per speaker, which allows accurate and controlled reproduction of powerful bass
  • Delivers detailed, dynamic, and musically engaging sound with deep, controlled bass and clean and sparkling highs
  • High premium finish and the cabinet is soft to the touch
  • The design is elegant, with a tapered cabinet and an angled crease running diagonally across the side panel

Product Considerations

  • At more down-to-earth levels it became pretty evident that the 120H are well overendowed in the bass department
  • The design issue of the Paradigms active X-over network somewhat 'screws' up the sound at SPL below 75dB

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • Founder 120H has a larger cabinet and Carbon-X bass drivers than the Paradigm Founder 100F
  • The Founder 120H has an overall fuller and more rounded sound than the Revel F228Be, but Revels have a slightly more refined-sounding treble response
  • The Founder 120H delivers high-end audio performance at more attainable prices than the Paradigm Persona 9H
  • The Founder 120H has that same deep dynamic capacity where they do not fluster easily—if at all—when pushed

Takeaway: The Paradigm Founder 120H offers high-performance sound and technology, like room correction, at a more accessible price. The active bass section, quality design, and build make this a compelling listening experience for any music genre.

Expand Details

Our Summary

Product Strengths

  • The aluminum cabinet is cast in one piece, which offers acoustic advantages and looks chic
  • The extruded aluminum yields a seamless, curved cabinet, which minimizes standing waves, reduces diffraction, and distributes and controls reflections
  • Highs are provided by a ribbon tweeter designed by PIEGA, and made by hand at the company's factory
  • It creates an incredibly wide soundstage, always balanced and rich
  • They are big enough to make big sound, but small enough to be suitable for a small apartment

Product Considerations

  • The fit and finish of the small, square, lightweight Connect is basic—in sharp contrast with the stylish, substantial 701 loudspeakers
  • DSP automatically adjusts each speaker's frequency balance according to volume, at a low setting, bass and treble are subtly boosted while, with something closer to party levels, the bass is gently reined in to prevent driver overload
  • The Android version won't 'read the room' and only lets one turn the room correction on and off

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • Vs KEF R3 Meta: it gives a cleaner sounding mid-range and better top-end extension
  • Vs Buchardt A700: pairing the speakers to its black box comes with fewer connection hassles
  • Vs KEF LS60 wireless: it draws a wider soundstage, better image in the mids, and offers a more extended top end

Takeaway: The PIEGA Premium recMsY5ljWopDD7UU is a stylish speaker that offers a wide soundstage and a rich listening experience. Its modern design and high-quality build make it a great addition to any contemporary living space.
