There’s no doubting Jean Michel Jarre’s talent as a musician and showman, so it’ll be interesting to see how he goes with his new roles as a soothsayer (he’s predicting the demise of the Internet on the basis it will be rejected by today’s youth as a sham) and as an AV entrepreneur with sales of his new speaker system AeroSystem One. Launched today at IFA in Berlin, the EUR 800 (US$1000) stand-alone unit contains a 60 W sub-woofer and two 30 W speakers all integrated to deliver a roomful of sound.
The speaker looks amazing in the press image but before we write any more, we’ll head down and have a listen to the relatively affordable system and give you our verdict along with the details.
Jarre came to world prominence as a composer and musician with seventies release of Oxygène and the subsequent Équinoxe album.
Our big tip for Jean Michel is that his ridiculous prediction for the Internet significantly detracts from his credibility as an authority worth listening to about anything.
