ATC 50 ATSL (or other ATC ported) with subs -- Anyone tried?

[highstream]

Last month the local dealer came by with my pair of ATC 50 ATSL's. I'd been using 40A's for the past year and 19A's for a few before that, both with JL Audio e-110 subs. The 50's are different, however, at least in the sense of being ported and going a little deeper. I'm wondering about others' experiences integrating the 50's with subs, successful or not. Granted that every listener and room is different, I'm thinking about what others have come up with for crossover points, phase settings and port plugs or not, etc. In my set up, the 50's are on the outside, the subs next to them. I like that set up, but really don't have much choice in my room. Thanks,

I think if you run your 50s full range, low pass the subs from 70/85 or so you'll have a good match. Probably need to invert polarity on the subs. Subs are so much about the room, there is very way to tell how successful you will be until you get them in there. Many records have been made on this combo.

I use 2 JL Audio Fathom F110s with my ATC ATSL. Its a bit different than yours as it has the Anniversary Amps. I use a JL Audio CR-1 for the crossover. It works seamlessly and sound great.
