i am sure the sound is the tits mate. and i quite dig the style/look of your speakers! but the bigger ones are just ugly. ( they have that in common with quite a large number of larger systems for pro use, so don´t get me wrong) i am just saying, why not put a littlelittle into the looks, ey?
of course i know i wouldn´t bother if i listen to them for a second 
listening to the most ugly speaker and falling in love with its sound can make it looks sexy after all. i mean we are just men, we fall easily for the singing of the Sirens, right?

Rocking a brand new pair of Barefoot MM27s here.
In my treated room, fantastic.
Low-end extension is smooth as butter down to about 35hz by my ears (though my square room still has a ~40hz hump of about 4db, even with 268 square ft coverage of traps and absorption 4" or 6" thick. So when making songs in double-low Eb, E, or F I just have to be careful.)
Actual frequency response: 40hz-40khz (+/- 1db), 30hz-45khz (+/- 3db).
They have taken almost 100% of the guesswork out of the lows/low-mids.
I'm a happy camper right now.

I can only agree with that I would kill to hear their new prototypes, the 4x10 :
It's using the new DSP and PMC amps, each side packs a whopping 4825w, with 1Kw being directed to each of the bass drivers alone.
You could use it as a PA system I think 
About ATC, you could also go the DIY route to keep prices down. A friend of mine is building the Wilmslow audio K100 Kit, which is an ATC allowed kit for a SCM100 clone, passive.
He did, on my advice, only ask for the mid/high crossover in passive, and will be amping them with some Hypex dual channel amps with integrated DSP crossover, to get the woofer controlled in a active way. We will measure them, tweak the low crossover until it's right, beginning with the original ATC curve.
For now he only has build the cabinets, since ATC is slow to deliver the woofer and the midrange driver, but I will keep you in touch about the sound

ATC Not worth the 13,000$........
when you want to put a lot money on MT you can easy
Build it even not building by yourself just buying the parts
and give some electronic guy to do it for you

Yes, but keep in mind that in doing that, you can't do what's most expensive in high-end audio : buy/build A LOT, and only select matched parts with tight tolerances. You can't do that in DIY without spending a crazy lot of money, and that's a lot to do with what they make you pay for !
For example, if one inductor of the crossover of one of my PMC dies (which is unlikely to happen), by sending them the serial number of the speaker, they can tell me this inductor measured that way, with that tolerance, and send me an exact match to not unbalance my stereo pair. Tracking, measuring and keeping records of all parts used in every speakers that gets out of the factory costs money too.
And that is the kind of service and attention you want when you buy uber expensive speakers, that are your work tool, and you rely on them professionally everyday. If something goes wrong, you are 100% sure to get an exact replacement. And when you see that PMC now gives a 20 years (!) warranty, you can sleep in peace at night
I think there the same attention to details on ATC side. That, plus distributor and sellers mark-up, and you get crazy expensive ! http://www.storm-mastering.com |

You can't just buy the ATC parts, as they won't sell them to you. The Wilmslow Audio kits (or even ATCs own SMC25A Pro's) do not come with the special SL drivers, which is where ATC excel in many people's estimation.
Some of us think they are worth the money. I've never heard a more transparent mid range in my life, and that's often what you need for mastering and translation, as that's where most of the information lies. Of course for recording and mixing there are other considerations. But at the end of the day, at this end of the market, they are all blindingly good speakers, and it really just comes down to personal taste!
Been very happy with ATC service too. One woofer started going strange, and they replaced it free of charge in a timely fashion (you only get a six year warranty, but it is transferable!)
Looking forward to getting the new Paris studio set up and integrating the sub!

Yes of course. The kit is also with the normal (91 dB sensitivy) midrange instead of the "super" (94 dB). I still think, if you are not able to go with the real deal, the 3500€ it gets you to build a K100 stereo kit + hypex amp is a great deal nonetheless, if you are able to put in a bit of work in the build.
