ATC SCM50s and the little ones are likely Genelec (or similar)

They look very wide for 50s - I've had three pairs, maybe they're custom.

Yep ATC's maybe a little small for 50's???

I have had a look at the 50s and they look bit bigger than the ones Agnes is using?

Yes, I agree. Definitely ATCs though - it says it on them :). I went for 50s because of the drivers but they do look a bit small for them. Must be one of their pro models.

You got better eyesight than me Mark, I could not read ATC on them. Interesting she has chosen ATC speakers for her own recording studio which I believe she built in Berlin earlier this year.

It's interesting. I had understood that where tweeters are asymmetric (i.e. not centrally positioned) then the speakers should be placed such that the tweeters are outbound. Well that was the recommendation I had for a pair of Reference 3 de capo speakers I previously had. However I see that Agnes has hers inbound and indeed ATC recommends that placement style.

Think it will depend on the speakers

ATC said to me that it was an option, flexibility.

It will also depend on how far apart the speakers are from one another. My B&W DM2As, have an asymmetric arrangement of drive units. The instruction manual explains how they should be positioned (using the labels on the front grills as a guide).

Agnes is certainly using them for near field listening...like a giant pair of headphones!:)
