I have been thinking about the audioengine stuff for a while. I think I will need their sub if I get them. I am surprise there is not a more varied selection given how audio and computers seem to be merging more and more.
Thanks

I'm going to review records in my collection, and you'll be able to decide if they're worthy of your collection. These records are what I consider "must haves" for any jazz aficionado, and would be found in their collections. I wont review any record that's not on CD, nor will I review any record if the CD is markedly inferior. Fortunately, I only found 1 case where the CD was markedly inferior to the record.
Our first album is "Moanin" by Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers. We have Lee Morgan , trumpet; Benney Golson, tenor sax; Bobby Timmons, piano; Jymie merrit, bass; Art Blakey, drums.
The title tune "Moanin" is by Bobby Timmons, it conveys the emotion of the title like no other tune I've ever heard, even better than any words could ever convey. This music pictures a person whose down to his last nickel, and all he can do is "moan".
"Along Came Betty" is a tune by Benny Golson, it reminds me of a Betty I once knew. She was gorgeous with a jazzy personality, and she moved smooth and easy, just like this tune. Somebody find me a time machine! Maybe you knew a Betty.
While the rest of the music is just fine, those are my favorite tunes. Why don't you share your, "must have" jazz albums with us.
Enjoy the music.

One of a kind group. In a Class by themselves. Great music, Sad title. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcPE6HPntPc Cheers |
@rok2id You are very welcome. Here’s a link to them on Audio Advisor under the "powered speaker" heading. Other brand options shown too. Buying from AA you would be able to return them if you did not like them. Don’t know anything about your intended use but unless you get some kind of great package deal you might hold off on the sub until you get to hear the speakers. I have my A5s on top of a roll top desk in an alcove in the loft. Plenty of bass. But I don’t use them for critical listening...more for background etc. while doing paperwork. That isn’t necessarily a comment about sound quality, however. In any case, they are way better than garden variety mini-computer speakers. They can play plenty loud to be well heard in most of the living area on the ground floor if desired. Also, the Kevlar speaker material takes a while to "loosen up". Early on they will sound closed in and not that great. Just be aware, these aren’t up to the standards of some of our audiophile colleagues that grace this A’gon forum with their wisdom. http://www.audioadvisor.com/products.asp?dept=377#sort:brand:asc Audio Advisor has a listing for "computer speakers" too (very limited). An Audio Engine sub is listed there. Hope O will pardon the temporary detour. |
