For sale is a nice looking and excellent sounding pair of ATC SCM19A active/powered floorstanding speakers in Satin Black. The speakers are in very good used condition -- actually excellent except for the minor cosmetic issues noted below, none visible from listening position. Purchased in February 2017 through a UK dealer, with the voltage converted to 110v by a local certified technician, per instructions from ATC. The 6-year warranty is valid worldwide until Feb 2023, with the U.S. importer being Lone Mountain in Las Vegas, which charges for servicing. Not that it should be necessary if taken care of, as ATC's are known for being well built and reliable and lasting forever. Everything that came with is included -- documentation, hardware and original double boxing. A full set of photos are also posted at

Update: I'm leaving the ad here, but The Music Room (tmraudio.com) in Erie, CO is now handling the sale, including inspecting and testing them thoroughly, as well as setting the price. Contact them if interested (Nick Lucini, 720-441-6172).
Notes (re photos):
1) The photo of the amp packs with serial numbers shows the voltage as 250, but it's been set to 110v.
2) I pulled its amplifier pack and sent it to Lone Mountain to check for hum that turned out to have come from elsewhere in my system (service receipt available). However, probably due to amp heat cycles over time, plus maybe some mountain dryness, the amp pack stuck to the paint, so when removed a little wood chipped around it. It was all glued back, as shown in the photo.
3) A close look at the left sides' photo shows the grill sides a little bowed. The grills are held on top and bottom by magnets, which work fine, and the bowing cannot be seen from the front. According to Lone Mountain, bowing is common, and not an indication of mistreatment (definitely not in my case). It happens to them at shows and during shipment of replacements to customers (they don't like doing so anymore). They prefer trying to straighten them, and the buyer is welcome to try as well, although not really necessary. Unlike typical fabric grills, ATC's metal grills don't affect the sound and make for a nice physical presentation.
