The ATC SCM40a is an active three-way floor stand with a height of about 980 mm. The spikes add 25mm. The three drivers are designed by ATC. There is a soft dome tweeter, a 75mm soft dome midrange and a 164mm woofer.. The speakers are capable of putting out 112dB with great ease which means even the most demanding tracks can be enjoyed without causing distortion. Each speaker uses three built-in power amplifiers (class-AB) that can deliver 242 watts of electrical power to the drivers.
The power amplifiers are controlled by an active crossover (4th order) with phase compensation. The frequency range is from 48Hz to 22kHz. For those who want to extend the listening skills to sub-low areas, there are still some much larger active ATCs available, but for 90% of the music to be played, this 40a is totally adequate.
To complete the set up, only a preamp is required or a streamer with a built in preamp. We have been using the DCS Bartok DAC as the streamer and preamp which really is quite brilliant.
ATC gives a 6-year warranty on these speakers. Grills are included. Colours are solid white, solid black, cherry and black with wood grain.

Testimonials
Bought some Rega Kyte speakers, stands and chords from DB online and they were incredibly helpful. They updated my delivery address very quickly and recommended a longer cut of cables which they did complimentary. They also noticed I didn’t order with banana plugs so called me back to double check, which I did mean to order. When i had some issues connecting my cables and speakers, I called for some advice which they happily gave. Excellent service and next day delivery to London. Thoroughly recommend.

Probably one of the best companies in the world. They had to special order in the speakers which took a fair bit of time, which is totally understandable, but they kept in touch with me throughout the entire time with updates (even on a Sunday!!!) and once the speakers were with them, they were dispatched and arrived next day.
The entire sound system that I purchased is insanely good, but still not as good as Doug Brady HiFi!

I have recently purchased a HiFi package with Doug Brady and I could not be more thrilled with my experience with them.
When I walked into the store, I was made to feel welcome and was introduced to some of the products. I produces a list of specific items I was interested in and John was really helpful in showing me these items. He set the system up so I could experience it, he made some suggestions which made the package even better. Nothing seemed too much trouble for him, he was very knowledgeable about the products and gave great advice. I didn't feel pressured to buy anything, or didn't feel that he was upselling at any point. I left with an amazing package and I'd like to thank John and the team for the fantastic experience.
