The SL600 are big boys with a huge footprint and sizeable top-plate – little cabinets will look lost up there.
Anything that does fit, though, will find the Atacamas offer fine insight and detail-retrieval, along with a persuasive soundstage.
Their sonic signature is slightly smooth, and there's a slight lack of vigour to the sound – at worst, the SL600s sound uninvolved, rather than painstakingly analytical.
Match the speakers and music carefully, though, and the Atacamas lay the fine details bare while sounding natural and unforced.
