As I recall, the small ATCs at THE Show were the 19's, with the "long-throw" version of their otherwise-spectacular, domed MF driver, which their larger drivers employ, along with a range of woofers. I think they make amps for "consumers" now, too, but I did not think to check that at THE Show. Of course, they built their reputation on their giant, self-powered monitors.
As for Audio Note, I do not endorse their "methods", only their results in that room. You know people pay many times that kind of money for MBL, etc., and pretty much everybody either goes that way, or they wish they could get away with it. Even our genius friend, David (no transformer) Berning had his name on GIANT amps of some sort that I did not even follow up on, despite they were in a room attended to by an old audio friend.
The AudioPax amps were exhibited as currently available, and they looked just like the originals, with the "tuning knobs", including the "timbre lock". Whatever they do to the amps now, I don't know, but they had "the same sound", if you know what I mean, and IMO, why change it. I just checked their website, and they are coy about their current "status".
