ATC SM50ASL Classic with Pass Labs XP-22

[Philipp]

Very much looking forward to see a lot of ATC glory here.
So, let's start and share our treasures:







Quick rundown of that system below. The pictures do not reflect the latest changes in the network topology, but the components are the same today. Btw: The Zenith will be replaced by a Roon ROCK fanless PC soon, and that one will be wired to the Router. Then I'm done. Hahaha... Please note, this is not a dedicated listening room, this is a family living room with small children running around, so there are lots of limitations with setup and placements. Still, I'm more than happy with the system and that I'm that lucky to be able to listen to my dream speakers every day.

Philipp thanks for sharing and it looks fantastic 😀

This is very nice Philipp. I like the 50s a lot, sometimes I think (well actually know) they are a better fit for my lounge space over the 100s that I have. I am struggling to get my images hosted via Imgur (likely user error!) but will post some details of my room soon.

Enjoy!

Thats a lovely system. What surprised me from the photo it seems you listen to the speakers within a very short distance (Triangle), maybe its just the photo...Ah I just read your explanation this is just a temporary situation to give way to small children running about.

Very nice system. I loved my SCM50s. They were so much better than any other speaker I had ever heard. I've never looked back.

Hi Philipp,

nice setup you have there and consequently done 👌
I have Iso Acoustic Pucks too under my ATCs and they improved the sound for me.
