Three systems only?
What about the 40 near the room corners? Any problems regarding the bass?

Not that I have noticed. Indeed if someone asked my recommendation for a £10k system it would be Nova and 40s, sounds superb.
The fourth and fifth systems haven’t got ATCs
The 40s and 19s are very similar size-wise, so perhaps the former may be acceptable, if not the 50ASLT,?
The 40s and 19s are the same size, I think.
40A and 19A share same outer dimensions. Passive 19 and 40 are very different in size since 19’s are standmounts and 40’s are floorstanding speakers.
I know that, the reference for comparison was 19A’s
Same cross section though so take up same space on the floor…
And same height. Same cabinets (externally) in fact.

Is the Atom sufficient to drive the 7s? Curious, as I have wall mount 7s
No problem whatsoever. I find the belief that ATCs are difficult to drive somewhat overstated.
Agreed, I used to run my 40’s from a SuperUniti without issue
Smaller speakers are generally not easier to drive than larger ones, and the SCM7s are a good example of this. They are less sensitive than the 11s, 19s or 40s, and I think you’ll get a lot more out of them with a more powerful amp than the Atom.
Which Gaia reference did you use on Scm50 for the demo? The Gaia 2 here gave a bloated bass with the 50’s, nearly reaching their max load limit, may be it would have be another story with the Gaia 1 ranked for 100 Kg. Gaia 2 are working well with the 40’s.
That’s a shame, they do look handsome
I used the 2’s to good effect but have now moved on to the Townshend Podiums, they work really well in my room.

To be fair I have a tricky room (plasterboard with large gaps sucks the bass out of the room) and the 40’s only really came together when I added a Rel 512 sub.
Maybe in the future I could retry them with the sub but for now the 40’s are superb.

Totally agree Camlan.
My Atom drives my ATC SCM20SL’s perfectly - and up to as loud as you will ever need!
