Gold Member Username: GavdawgAlbany, New York Post Number: 1500 Registered: Nov-06 | in putting the tekton through the paces... Boney James - Ride Sarah Brightman - Eden Vertical Horizon - Everything You Want Dido - Life For Rent The Judds - Rockin With The Rhythm Macy Gray - The ID Fly - Sky and Country The Rippingtons - :Life in The Tropics Tarja Turunen - A Winter Storm a mix of everything from jazz, country, smooth jazz, pop, alternative, and ... ready for this... symphonic metal... yup! on a 4.5 inch full range! Did it for schitts and giggles and ended up picking my jaw up off the floor. Tarjas music basically sounds like Sarah Brightman singing rock. I was also shocked at the fact that these sound more realistic at lower levels than my kef do. The eyes do not believe the ears. And I think my downstairs neighbor heard it before I ran to grab the volume... not used to have speakers this efficient. These CERTAINLY are not wimpy IMHO obviously they are not a pair of klipsch, or even my iQ3, but in my 15X17 space, they are more than adequate. keep in mind that I rarely (if ever) listen loudly.... but usually at a moderate level. |

Gold Member Username: Mike3Wylie, Tx USA Post Number: 2409 Registered: May-06 | Sting - Symphonicities Wonderful representation of Sting's vocals, orchestral, but jazz influences as well. I had not heard some of the original material before. The orchestra's expanded instruments (as compared to the instruments used with the original recordings) allow for more depth to some of the songs like "I Hung My Head" for example. Still, Sting's vocals are the centerpiece of this album. "We Work The Black Seam" is a wonderful balance of Sting's extremely strong vocals with a very present and well paced musical accompaniment. The last song "The Pirate's Bride" is a perfect end to one of the best CDs I purchased in quite some time. Jo Lowry's vocals lent a nice backdrop, especially on the aforementioned last cut.

Gold Member Username: John_sColumbus, Ohio US Post Number: 2744 Registered: Feb-04 | WOW Art...yesterday: Hanson Conducts Hanson Howard Hanson Symphony No. 1 "Nordic" Symphony No. 2 "Romantic" Eastman-Rochester Orchestra Eastman School of Music Chorus Mercury Living Presence The addition of Hanson's "Song of Democracy" on this disc is welcome. Based on a poem by Walt Whitman written in comemoration of a public school opening in Camden N.J., 1874. And these I see, these sparkling eyes, These stores of mystic meaning, these young lives, Building, equipping like a fleet of ships, immortal ships, Soon to sail out over the measureless seas, On the soul's voyage. This is a landmark recording, but I've always felt it could benefit from a little more concert hall reverberation. |
