£4,750.00

The ATC SCM40 is the flagship passive floorstanding loudspeaker in ATC’s renowned SCM series. It is designed for music lovers who want full-range, studio-grade sound in a home environment. Handcrafted in the UK, the ATC SCM40 Loudspeaker delivers exceptional clarity, imaging, and low-end control, making it ideal for medium to large listening rooms and critical hi-fi systems.

With a performance that rivals speakers at three or four times the price (Hi-Fi Choice), the SCM40 effortlessly recreates the energy and scale of live performance. As The Ear’s Rahiel Nasir puts it:

What these speakers truly excel at are dimension and imaging; singers are brought to the fore and you know exactly where they are, while instruments and backing vocalists appear in the soundstage with pinpoint accuracy.

Built for Bigger Rooms and Tuned for Serious Listening

As the top passive model in ATC’s SCM range, the SCM40 stands above the award-winning SCM7, SCM11, and SCM19 bookshelf speakers. It delivers a step up in scale, presence, and low-frequency extension, making it the ideal choice for medium to large listening spaces or full-range stereo systems.

At Soundstage Hi-Fi, we’ve compared the ATC SCM40 Loudspeakers against many high-end floorstanders, and its honest, uncoloured presentation consistently stands out. It’s a high-end loudspeaker that combines the transparency of a studio monitor with the weight and authority of a true full-range design.
