ATC SCM19 Standmount Loudspeakers I bought these mint condition ATC SCM19’s from the importer Sonic Purity about two years ago intending to put together a second system. They’d been sold new by Sonic Purity only weeks before but the buyer decided to bring them back to upgrade to some much larger 100’s. They were effectively new when I bought them with minimal hours. I paired them with an ATC SIA 150 integrated and an ATC C1 sub. The second system did exist for a few weeks but I realised that it was never going to be permanent, I had to set up and pack up for each use. As a result the gear was
Are you getting a deal on this AUD3,600 ATC SCM19, or paying a premium for the unknown condition? Against our recent comparable AUD listings—median AUD3,473, with the 25th to 75th percentile tightly clustered between AUD3,473 and AUD3,481—it's ambitious, sitting about 3-4% above the top end. For these vintage ATC classics, that's not outrageous if pristine, but without condition details, it leans firm rather than fair.
Buyers, verify the drivers first: check for the common surround foam rot (listen for distortion off-axis) and inspect crossover capacitors for age-related drift, especially if pre-2010. Demand original grilles, serial-matched pair confirmation, and service history—missing these could mean hidden costs eating any perceived value.
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.
