Hi Ben,

          I found that the bass is much tighter with the spikes on and not boomy even with my previous speakers.Thanks!

Thanks iceman  Smile Whilst I have played around with positioning a bit on mine I haven't yet tried spiked v unspiked, good to hear you got an improvement. Are they then into spike shoes on granite?

Yes Ben. speakers>spikes>spike shoes>granite.The spike shoes prevent the speakers from slipping aswell.I just bought these granite from a local stone merchant( 40 mm thick!)for £75 a pair.Thanks.

The Naims look the biz but still not convinced by the ATC's aesthetics though. No doubt sound is mind blowing.

Love the Mitchell WOW! Have often do you dust it? love to own a Gyro but the thought of no dust cover... no, no, no...

Enjoy!

Thanks PP..about speakers I'm after sound quality(95%)and aesthetics(5%).I never thought that the nap200 can drive them very well.The highs and mid are sweet and delicate and the bass is taut and very responsive even at low volume.There is no hardening on the overall sound even at high volume compare to my previous 703s.The scm40s are by far the most neutral speakers I've heard at this price point Smile .With regards to the Michell gyro se,I just cover it with a silk-like cloth when not in use than using the non sense unicover.Cheers! rockin out

RE: My simple system..

The old-school design of the ATC started growing on me lately and although the lighter wood version still look to me a little bit repulsive, the black one is much more stylish and acceptable IMO... With regards to the sound- I heard them recently at the Hi-Fi Expo in Sofia - Bulgaria , driven by Leema Tucana II and Antila II and the result was а brilliantly natural sounding set-up. I was amazed ...

Totally understand why you and thousands of others love the ATCs... how far from the wall are the speakers? pictures can be deceiving, but they look pretty close.

Sealed cabinets.

So long as the fronts are flush with the equipment rack (or in front of it) then distance from the wall shouldn't be an issue.
