  1. Linn Records does fabulous work. Carol Kidd's "All My Tomorrows" is wonderful for sonics and repertoire. The bass is physically warming on this if you've means to faithfully reproduce it. Clean, clear, crisp, with very present vocals. Claire Martin is another one of their jazz recording artists who stands out in their capable hands. Someone take advantage of this and see for yourself.
  2. If that's a bit rich for you, try Audioengine self powered A2's or A5's. Most excellent speakers according to a friend and customer of mine who listens with Vienna Acoustic speakers in his main music system. He's buying the A2's which use a 4" mid/bass driver.
  3. Analogue Productions is doing great work in the service of great sound. Some jazz recordings made during this time have purer tone and timbre to begin with than modern day recordings. Don't ask me why. Here's a little more recent live to two track jazz recording and a favorite of mine: Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers at Keystone Korner 3 (Concord). The Marsalis brothers are on this with a cookin pianist in Donald Brown. No stage irregularities here. Excellent perspective as a matter of fact. Have a seat. Clean cookin with gas!
  4. Carol Kidd's All My Tomorrows. Got this on vinyl and it's a superb recording of great jazz repertoire. Don't Worry About Me, My Funny Valentine, Round Midnight, Angel Eyes and other great selections. This record is $85.00 on Amazon. Fifty quid in the UK. You can thank me later.
  5. You betcha, Chris. Lookin forward to what I can learn and, perhaps, contribute. Jim
  6. Of course, mate. Some manufacturers do. The original Rogers BBC monitors, Dunlavy speakers, Vandersteen, Green Mountian Audio all use felt surrounds in their base designs. Other designers have resorted to smaller, multiple bass drivers to make their enclosures more narrow or taken their tweeters or midrange drivers out of the box entirely. This is to reduce baffle size because of the adverse effect it has on sound waveform behavior and the purity of the intended signal. Putting wool surrounds on their speaker faces is not something designers of beautiful speakers want to do. My product is an aftermarket fascia (pictured at my website) custom fitted to individual box speaker faces to cover the most offensive area, the area adjacent to your tweeters where there is the greatest amount of flat space for waveforms to be re-directed. And it can be fitted to allow for returning speaker grilles when that is preferred. Works, too, if your speaker baffles are much larger than your high frequency drivers. You'll think your speakers are just passive works of art, not a source of anything. You'll notice improvement in the shape, focus and complexity of instruments and vocalists on your stage. Harmonics and fine details are not smeared or distorted. Even space is more linear and perceptible. You'll hear this for yourself and fairly quickly. Your purchase comes with a guarantee, by the way, if there isn't too much custom work involved. Due to it's affordability and result, this is the largest return on investment in audio for owners of box speakers.
