Angeboten wird „ATC Acoustic SCM40 SCM 40 High End Standlautsprecher in Esche schwarz Neu“ von ATC als Neugerät aus der Kategorie „Standlautsprecher“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 8009511066 endet am 27.08.2026 um 17:58 Uhr.
The €5,499 asking price for this ATC SCM40 is ambitious, sitting clearly above the 75th percentile (€5,090) of the recent EUR used market, yet it remains a credible entry point for a speaker of this caliber. While not a bargain, the price reflects the scarcity of original-owner units in pristine condition, especially compared to the median of €3,817.
This is a worthwhile buy because the SCM40 is legendary for its coherently engineered, tri-amplified design that delivers unmatched midrange clarity and precise dispersion. Its 48Hz–22kHz response and low distortion make it a timeless choice for critical listening, offering significant upside in original-owner condition with included spikes and binding posts. At this price, it’s a rare opportunity to secure a well-loved, high-performance floorstander without the risk of hidden wear.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
ATC (Acoustic Transducer Company), a British engineering powerhouse, was founded in 1974 by innovative loudspeaker designer Billy Woodman. Initially focused on crafting custom drive units for the professional audio sector, the company quickly gained acclaim with its 12-inch PA75-314 driver, renowned for superior power handling and minimal distortion at high sound pressure levels. In 1976, ATC introduced the groundbreaking SM75-150 soft dome midrange driver, revolutionizing dispersion, bandwidth, and clarity in studio monitors.
The brand specializes in high-precision loudspeakers, designing and manufacturing its own drivers—including tweeters, midrange, and bass units—in-house for both professional and home applications. Its SCM series offers a spectrum from compact models like the SCM7 to larger formats, available in active and passive configurations. ATC also produces standalone electronics, such as preamplifiers, power amplifiers, and integrated amps like the SIA2-150, all built to uncompromising standards of accuracy and reliability.
ATC commands a elite position in the high-end hi-fi market, revered by recording studios worldwide for its transparent, detail-revealing monitors and by discerning audiophiles for domestic speakers that deliver reference-grade performance. A professional ethos, advanced materials, and innovations like the Super Linear Driver—slashing distortion in the vocal range—cement its status as a boutique leader, where precision engineering trumps mass production.
