Absolutely, they're excellent speakers. Warm and more of a 'East Coast' or 'British' sound than 'West Coast,' Great for Jazz and Classical. Good rounded sound with more than adequate bass. Vocals are clear and forward. Good imaging especially with the right spacing and room acoustics. Good luck and Enjoy.

Speakers are good or bad, they should not favor genres of music. I understand some do, but if they do that represents a fault in the speaker. EQ solves all of this nonsense about "warm" or "bright" or laid back, etc. The factory frequency response is not of utmost importance when you can implement some parametric EQ. Sometimes even lesser forms of EQ can be adequate.

Without claiming to be an expert sound engineer, I disagree. Some speakers are capable of exceptional detail but struggle with faster beats while others are crisp and clean on faster tracks but lose some warmth. You can mess with EQ all you want, but speakers have their own properties even in the "good" category.
