What is this garbage, nobody listens to this junk! Are you retarded?

[Mrphatbastard1]

[konzik]

[uoosername]

Nice to finally see wacky contraptions like this in action instead of just pictures.

[Drovki]

good for justin beiber music :)

[sp00nix]

Dr. Suse wants his HiFi back.

[adanwindowsxp]

how much for this? 10 dollars?

[rw5791]

please just play hard bop 50's style,on vinyl please.

[Katalist1]

Mh idont like horns,they sound like a empty can of cola with a speaker in it.

The only awsome thing is the price!

Got some B&W speakers theyre much better than this....

[LorenzoNW]

@Katalist1 If you like the sound of B&W's, I would suggest listening to a pair of Chapman loudspeakers.

[Katalist1]

@LorenzoNW

Mh,i can´t find anything on Youtube!

[LorenzoNW]

@Katalist1 I don't think they invest a lot in advertising, which is a good thing. They're briefly mentioned on YouTube. Enter MIT Cables at RMAF 2011. Google Chapman Audio Systems for more info. I haven't heard anything that comes close in their price range. I've heard Ruark Excaliburs that are better, at twice the cost, but they're no longer manufactured. Actually, a friend in Seattle is selling a used pair in perfect condition for $9500, a bargain. Let me know if you're in the market.

[Katalist1]

@LorenzoNW

okay

[StPaul1961]

Playing percussion music with hi-end stuff is the biggest joke in the audiophile circle. Play some violin or piano to reveal how good, or how bad you system is.

[Stefnl]

kewl jazz at the pawnshop i think this is part 2

[gaithouri]

pff wasted ! what kind of music is this ???

[txteabagger]

[biggdaddy2001]

sombodys horny

[sooperfukker]

hööööööy *CLAP*CLAP*STOMP* #LOL

[lemigrant]

Ok ok, now, let´s put some good music.



[bcwoodsinc]

Avant Garde Trio Classico's are some of the most beautiful speakers ever designed. Not my first choice in color (I personally prefer silver), but that striking design is one of a kind. The front end looked very utilitarian, like the old integrated amps of the seventies. I'd be curious to hear orchestral music or jazz ensemble through this system.

[prizmapex]

man you just keep kickin' this dead horse,let it go brother,we understand each other.

[Frankiesack]

I dont think any of you understand. The reason they use this track, is because this track has such a clear sound that it is generally used to tune speakers, demonstrate sound and so on.

But I guess even grown-ups can troll some times

[prizmapex]

P.S. I run my PC through a 300 watt Pioneer receiver and two stage monitors.A little better than Logitech.But who am I to judge right.

[prizmapex]

Bravo nice response, at least your paying attention.

[prizmapex]

All this cash just to listen to crap like that.

[truebassB]

@prizmapex Well "crap" like that is needing systems like that,the real crap only needs listeners into crappy genres and logitech pc speakers.

[leetrakul]

Most Jazz fans would disagree with these negative comments. Jazz at the Pawnshop, the album is one of the most highly regarded live Jazz recording in the world. It received a 4.5/5 star in Amazon and the recording engineer, Gert Palmcrantz, is a genius.. You can hear people talking, the bell at the register, etc. making you virtually there.. Of course, these audiophile system would help you hearing all the details.

[gotham61]

@leetrakul That's the problem. JATP is a fantastic sounding recording of a bunch of second tier Swedish jazz players. If you read the history of jazz, you're unlikely to find names like Arne Domnerus and Bengt Hallberg being compared to John Coltrane and Thelonious Monk.

This is completely backwards. High end audio should be about getting the most enjoyment from recordings of great music, not just looking for some kind of audiophile orgasm that's more about sound than it is music.

[leetrakul]

@gotham61 Why not learn to enjoy both? Who's to say what's good for one is not good for another...

[gotham61]

@leetrakul I'm not sure what you mean by that. Audio is supposed to be a means to an end, namely the enjoyment of great music, not the end by itself. The ultimate expression of the latter approach would be to listen to test tones, while getting off on how faithfully the system reproduces square waves and pulses. Audiophiles got pretty close to that 50 years ago, when they would play recordings of steam trains and thunderstorms.

[prizmapex]

All of this is fine and dandy but I would just love to hear some classic rock or some good blues or something besides orchestra music,if I were going to invest in a setup like this I would want to hear more of a range on music,this is just plain boring,get some nerve and play some Zepplin or some Stevie Ray Vaughn,just play something!!!

[Richard678]

@prizmapex So you like the sound of the slaves.

[lc0]

wow, someone invented a device that can make both your eyes and ears bleed!

[Punkten81]

@lc0 Dont forget the wallet.. i will darn well bleed aswell ;)
