Absolutely!!!

 

Have you already bought the ATC SCM19 ... may be worth looking at the active version?

I'm currently using the latest passive version of ATC SCM40, but if I live in the US, I would sell those and get this instead ATC SCM20ASL Pro mk2 | Sweetwater.com. What a great price and no need to worry about amp.

Hi Kilroy,

 

Amp matching for 19s (very similar to 20s) is almost certainly best done by selling your 19s and getting Active 20s - then you will have 4 poweramps tuned for each drive unit via an active crossover, for miles less than the price of buying 2 stereo or 4 mono amps and the 19s.

 

It may not have been the advice you were looking for, but it was the best advice anyone could have given you. FTR, I own 4 pairs of active ATCs: 1 x 50 ASL & 3 x 20 ASL Pro.

 

It is from 25 years experience as an ATC owner that I supported alubis's post, it was brilliant advice and an utter bargain, given what you will end up with.

Since you ask... because that's what you would need to buy, plus an active crossover to have any chance of getting the same perfromance as the active 20s. That's what you would have been getting, no worries, stick with the 19s.

 

 

Whoever said anything about buying two stereo amps or 4 mono amps?
