Any opinions on Jamo Speakers?

[nightflier]

I can't say anything about the quality, but pay attention to what one post mentioned: that the store would not let him try the speakers out at his home. I have had similar experiences with Jamo. They are essentially a European manufacturer that hasn't found a way to break into the American market. If, and that's a big if, you can find a dealer, then you have some options, but personally I stay away from products that are so secretive. Kind of reminds me of Klipsch, which Jamo claims to outperform, although I have not heard that. And their website is a mess too, if you want to find out specs., good luck.

There are so many other companies that have excellent customer support, that Jamo was just never an option for me. If you happily own a pair already, then I'm sure you will disagree, so don't flame me. This was just my experience.

just could be a story of an un-cooperative store owner.

nevertheless, they are worth a listen.

I've had a pair of Jamo S60 surround speakers for about 10-12 years. They sound good enough that I'm not in any kind of hurry to replace them. Not great, but good.

Actually on Jamo's website they said that Klipsch has just bought them out as of 2/15/05, see link below

I myself was interested as well in the E855 series speakers as I can get them for about %60 off any price I have seen on the internet. I was looking at 2 E855 - Fronts, 4 E8SUR.2 - Surround and 1 E8CEN.2 - Center speaker. I can get all 7 for around $1200.00 US.

If stereophonicfan has purchased the jamo I am curious to know if you were happy with them or anyone else for that matter. I'm not sure if I can do better for $1200.00, if I can someone please speak up. Thanks.

Wow, that's news. Well I sure hope that this will help with Jamo's distribution woes and the crappy website.

i personally preferred the Concert 8s (D830??) to B&W Nautilus 805s... the Jamos are good speakers. Shame about the rest of the range although i'd like to hear the Oriels.

i own a set of jamo in-walls for sourounds and a jamo center. i have mainly proacs for my 2 channel but my wife wanted some home theater sound included. they sound ok, a store in town here carries the whole jamo line, so it came down to price and finish for me...sound gets better as the price goes up...i just use them for my small theater so they work fine.

inwalls sound ok


look great tho.




my wife required me to fit the center channel on the glass shelf under the t.v. stand ( 6" ) so that limited my choices
