Duke Ellington - Days of Wine and Roses

I recorded this with a portable Tascam recorder (so a step above a phone, but not high quality studio equipment).

The speakers are open baffles (meaning - not "boxed"), and they give a big open sound, with lots of detail. They sound great even on poor recordings, of which I have plenty of in my collection!

They are heavy, and bulky, but I put them on wheels and move them a few feet against a back wall when I am not listening. 

Enjoy...

There are some small bell sounds mid-way through. That's not part of the original recording, it's my cat scratching his collar.

Open baffle speakers wouldn't work for me. My wife would not be a fan of the open back look. She doesn't like that I have to have speakers in the room at all, so these would definitely not be allowed in my living room. Also, I hope you don't have little children. I had enough trouble keeping dust cones from being pushed in. I can't imagine what they could've done with loose wires hanging off the back.

I have two sets of speakers:

- open baffle - they remain tucked in corners of the room when not in use

- the smaller "bookshelf" speakers (vintage Altec speakers) which is that last video I posted

My children are adults now, but I do have two cats - they are well behaved. My girlfriend takes all this with some humor and some resignation.
