Can Classical Music or Big band music sound OK on these? I play while at the computer.

These speakers will reproduce Classical or Big Band music well. Keep in mind that these speakers are small. The subwoofer on this small system is meant to fill out the low end(bass) of audio you are listening to. I think with the music you are discussing here, they will be fine.

Hi Kevin,If I had to sum up the best genres for these headphones it would be jazz, classical, and acoustic music. They have a wide soundstage and natural bass. Bass heavy music would be better served by something closed. Check out Audio Technica or Ultrasone.

What Brent said. Or get a audio interface. And connect them via 1/4" trs and USB. If your using these to make music I recommend the interface option as you'll want that for the sound card inside and it takes a load off your computer

They have very good treble and mid-range, bass is not so strong but fairly enough, depends on how you fit them in your system, they should be a good match.

The speakers themselve should be enough. I have a crappy sound card and these speakers sound wonderful! Good luck. They're awesome!

For sure. I use mine for on stage performances as well as working out. They sound amazing in any case.

They will sound very good---not to expect the sound to fill a concert hall--using four of these for your channels will be fantastic--or a two channael receiver like you said "vintage"---I uses mine as rear speakers for my Onkyo. Hope this helps.

They can get LOUD! You cannot plug them directly into a computer; you will need a receiver/amplifier as a bridge as others suggested. After I sent the crossovers over to Ed Frais @ EFE they are now music to the ears! Difference is night and day after the mod!!

If you're cranking them up loud all the time, the answer is yes. But if you're using them at normal listening levels, like while working on the computer, the bass response on the speakers is more than sufficient.

I would think so. I bought them to fill the space. We use an ipod and an amp and they sound great. I doubt you can get better sound for the price.

Certainly-depending on how critical or how much of an audiophile you are. That is what I use them for-music through a receiver. They are not of Klipsh quality, but are fine as far as I am concerned.

I bought them for my daughter who is playing classical. She uses them on a old violin too. They are great, and give a really nice warm sound. I don't know about playing jazz with them. She played jazz only on the piano.

For crisp and clear mid-range and highs they're great. Classical, Country and some forms of Jazz they would perform very well. If you're looking for some equally good low end in your listening experience, a subwoofer is needed. There are some larger floor standing speakers with a greater range of low to high on the market, but they to require more floor space.

depends on how you plan to use them, for studio use, i say sure., use your keyboard with them. However if you plan to them for regular listening or performing, i say no.

Depends on max volume, and type of music. Classical no problem, rap at max volume bit of feedback.

Yes, as long as u tune ur sound right. They will be the best sound u will hear.

That should be fine, if you have the space for them on a shelf or a desk they will fill the entire room with sound, I have them in a fairly large room and they have no problem.
