I would also strongly advise you try them in your room. I u-turned on my decision after demoing at home.

Tricky one as to whether to upgrade your source first (as HH says) or the speakers. If you do get the ATC, you will appreciate a better source… By the way, my Nova drove the SCM11 (and the Neats) just fine.
