Audio Note: This room had THE least problematic sound at the show, better tone and more Music. System was not stressed by classical music as they played it, with a “perspective” that +/- “compensated” for the relative “lack of dynamics”, compared to bigger systems we heard. Not my personal Nirvana, but I have to hand it to them, and I think perhaps most music-loving audiophiles should spare themselves grief by starting (and stopping) with something like this.

ATC: This venerable British firm still makes its own drivers, is widely known in “pro” circles, hardly “markets” to audiophiles. We heard smaller speakers; not bad at all. I have heard the larger speakers, as well, and these are on a very short list of “monitors” I would consider.

If it comes to Audio Note the above is true related  to every show I attended for the last 15 years. It is not a "serious sound" from the lack of better word ( I decided against expanding my audio descriptive dictionary) but it can decisively spare a lot of grief for non trivial amount of money unfortunately.
Regarding ATC I kinda regret letting go my bigger ATC based monitor made by Proac some years ago. Probably pne of the most dynamic ,low distortion sounding conventional speakers on the market (many makers claim that but its not a commodity ) still reasonably priced. There is a challenge of finding appropriate amplification of course.
Paul ,
Did you hear passive or active ATC  system?
