2 B&W DM630 TOWER SPEAKERS black,1x 1" tweeter,2x 8" woofer,biampable.
1 JAMO CENTER 100 SPEAKER
2 BOSTON HD5 BOOKSHELVE SURROUND SOUND REAR SPEAKER
ENERGY E:XL-S8 POWER SUBWOOFER,black,8"woofer,auto on/off,stereo rca & speakers inputs,volume & frequancies controls.Excellent condition

The fella has it listed as package for $630
or $375 for just the pair of B&W speaker. I couldn't find any reviews of this b&w speaker.

I'm entry level HT guy, trying to get his feet wet.

Opinions, advice would be welcome.

As a surround sound speaker system... not a good match. I have no idea what a JAMO is but I'd try to find another B&W center to match the DM630's. If it were me I'd only buy the 630's but I don't know what they're worth these days.

I'll audition different sets at stores
and compare with these b&ws.

I suppose whatever good is in the person hearing it.

Jamo is an over rated speaker manufacturer. Used to see their stuff in some pretty high end shops in the 90's. I notice they have a lot of new stuff listed on Ebay these days...along with Polk. I listened to a few pairs back in the 90's....and I never really understood what was high end about them myself.

Cheers,
