One scale for both, standing on the same surface and pushed back to the same wall, so the deeper one visibly sticks out further.

Fyne Audio Vintage Classic X needs about 35% more floor or shelf area. Fyne Audio Vintage Classic X is 37mm deeper, so it stands that much further out from the wall. ATC SCM19A is 63mm taller.
