climactic sequence, the extravagant de-

mands of "big-sound" impacts and colli-

sions were met with surprising realism.

In my standard checks for center-speak-

er performance, the 4200 C was a near per-

fect tonal match for the 4200 LRs, and its

midrange tones changed very little as I

moved off-center. Vertical positioning was

just as critical for the 4200 C as for the

4200 LRs. Fortunately, the center speaker

incorporates a tiltable base that makes aim-

ing the tweeter easy. It's cleverly simple

and effective, but it does raise the speaker a

couple of inches higher than optimal for

TV-top placement.

Okay, okay, I'm nit-picking. Atlantic

Technology's System 4200 is simply an

outstanding speaker suite for medium-size

rooms. It might not be my ﬁrst choice if all

I played was stereo music — but I can't

imagine anyone seriously considering it

primarily for that. For everything else,

movies and multichannel music alike, it's

an undeniable winner. I don't think you

can ask for much more from so compact a

speaker system. Expensive? Yes. Worth it?

Absolutely.

All of the response curves in the graph are

weighted to reﬂect how sound arrives at a

listener's ears with normal speaker placement.

The 4200 LR left/right front and 4200 C center

speakers had virtually identical on-axis response,

with curious roughness above 1 kHz. The 4200

LR had extremely uniform off-axis response,

while the 4200 C had some lobing at 30° and

wider listening angles. The Boundary-On switch

position cut output below 270 Hz by 3 dB for the

4200 C and half that amount for the 4200 LR.

The HF Energy switch cut output by 1 dB above

5 kHz when set to the Reverberant position and

boosted it by 1 dB in the Damped Room posi-

tion. The 4200 SR had the classic relatively

smooth but limited bandwidth response often

seen with bipolar speakers. Measured directly

on-axis in the Dipole setting, it had a 30-dB deep

null that began at 150 Hz and extended to 8 kHz.

I measured bass limits for the 641 SB

subwoofer with it set to maximum bandwidth

and placed in the optimal corner of a 7,500-

cubic-foot room. In a smaller room users can

had an impressively uniform power delivery

across its bandwidth, delivering 100 dB SPL or

greater at every frequency from 25 Hz on up. In

the crossover-bypass setting, its frequency

response extended to nearly 200 Hz. Because

of a malfunction in my sample, I was unable to

test the variable crossover.
