Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo So what are ya listening to tonight?

I got Mon Laferte's new album, SEIS, on ProStudioMasters. I forgot ProStudioMasters existed. I didn't want to pay the premium at this time for a CD import, and this came up as an option. I'm not sure how often high-res versions of music matters, but I like to show my support for the principle. Anything that pushes them to invest in higher-quality recordings is something. As for the album itself, I don't connect with it as much as with some of her other stuff, but I'm still wowed by her vocals. She's someone I would definitely love to see live.

Just finished the World Martial Arts Live 24hours of training event, and had various artists playing in the background. This one really caught my attention - Simply Red Symphonica in Rosso (Live at the Ziggo Dome Amsterdam). I have always like Mick's voice and this was a great live show.

I spoke too soon. I liked it a lot more with the second listen.

Mon Laferte - No Lo Vi Venir

Really loving this video and song.

KUNZITE - FROSTY

Marina's new album dropped today, and so did the new Garbage album. Good day! After first listens, I think I'll be going back to Marina's more, but I'm glad Garbage is still out there doing their thing. As for Marina's, it's nice to see her more fully embracing her old school weirdness.

I got my AxiomAir Freedom on Monday, so I've had four days to enjoy it at work. So far I've only used it via Bluetooth, and it works well. And such a step up sound quality-wise from the Bluetooth speaker a coworker leaves there, which was to be expected. It's hard to be totally wowed since I'm used to the sound of the LFR1100 Actives at home, but it's just so nice to listen at work and never encounter distortion. Worthy investment that more people should make if their workplace allows for it.

Had this in the wrong thread. Re posted here. I’m listening to it again right now. So good…..old post below….

This was today’s find. Fabulous recording everyone! You should all check her out.
My fav is track 7, a classic song , done many times over by various artists. “ Dark end of the Street “.

This whole album is really well produced. What it lacked in emotional impact today, was regained by the amazing imaging and disappearing act of my speakers if I kept my head locked in just the right spot, with 12 feet between speakers and 3.5 feet out from wall. She’s Danish. Sounds a little bit like a young Tina Turner.

Fabulous. Found it on YouTube. Sounds huge. No need for head-locking with the actives.

Right on man!! Glad you enjoyed it! I was blown away when I heard it. Yes, gotta be in just the right spot but really amazing. I bet the actives were unbelievably good with that recording!

This is so awesome! This is all around me, man! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK SMACK!

Playing this right know. It’s kinda interesting. It’s got some cool knocks and smacks. Couple of good crescendos. Electronica style.
