I find that Jamo indeed works with cheaper materials and does less R&D than lets say B&W. But they do manage to be cheaper and still provide a true hifi-experience. thanks
Jamo did as much R&D as any company. They offered entry level which may have used cheaper material to meet a certain price but Jamo also offered multi thousand dollar safisticated complete surround sound set ups, including amps and processing. They also had higher end speakers. I can't remember what it was called but they had a fairly famous midrange driver, the one that looks like a bullet sticks through the center of it. Jamo at some point in recent years had been purchased by Klipsch and is now under their umbrella. What or where the line ends up now is yet to be seen. I don't know if what I see now are close outs or if Klipsch is using Jamo as extreme entry level but there are some very low priced 5 channel Jamo systems now available. My friend bought a package for like $250.00 which included two tower speakers, a center and two rears. They looked nice when we unpacked them and sounded decent. Decent, as in pretty impressive for $250.00. He used them with a Yamaha receiver. I haven't been back over but want to hear them after a bit of break in and now that he has the system balanced out. B&W is much larger and also gets into studio speakers.
