Jamo Studio Series S 803 Compact 5.0 Home Theater System (White)

For the money it will be very hard to find a 5.0 speaker system then this one!!!

When bought on sale this is a hard speaker set to beat for the price, great sound for a HT on a budget. Add a subwoofer, run your HT speaker setup and enjoy great HT sound on a budget. 11 out of 10 would buy over a soundbar.

Love it

These speakers look great and sound great too. The sub $200 price makes it hard to pass up. Im really impressed with these speakers especially for the price.

Look great/sound great. BUT they soak up the power. Definitely had to add a sub for my tastes.

Poured over reviews and kept finding that pro-audiophiles kept slaming them, but the majority of regular people like them. Here is what I discovered about myself in the process. I definitely am not an audiophile. I wanted to be, but they like terms like flat frequency response and neutral. Guess what? Thats a boring speaker for most of us. They say it has a V curve. Guess what, thats how most of us used to make our equalizer look. Just cranking the treble and bass control (or knob) like a lot of us do, creates what?- a V curve. They just did it for us. If youre a genuine audiophile, you may not like these, but if youre not, as most of us arent, please understand that just because they dont like something, doesnt mean you wont because you probably have different tastes- and thats not a bad thing. As far as the speakers, they sound great and look good. Definitely need a sub (I bought 2 S808s at just over 100 each). I like bright sounding speakers because in a home theater setup, it helps to hear nauances in the sound track (i.e. crickets chirping, wind and rain, etc.) which helps to bring me more into the content. Also, the audiophiles were correct in saying these have wide soundstage, which were noticbly better than any of my previous speakers. For the sale price, these were an amazing deal for what you get. They were good with music as well. Hear is an easy test to see if you like flat and neutral speakers or not. If you have a good AV reciever (or you can audition at a friends or a store) with a good set of audiophile speakers- set the reviever to something like pure direct or equivelant where the reciever shuts off any sound processing and tone controls. If youre not impressed and prefer the music with the processing and tone controls back on, then you dont want neutral sounding speakers.

Speakers sound amazing and look great. I added some banana plugs to some wire so I could cut to size. Connected to an Onkyo receiver. Really impressed for the price. Definitely will want to get a sub to go with it. Had trouble finding a stand for the left side surround sound speaker but it still sounds good on the end table. They are heavy so you will need sturdy support.

Good looking and good price

I bought this speaker package as a way to get two sets of small speakers at a low price. Out of the box all the speakers look great; no blemishes or defects. In my 10x10 office both the S803 and the S8o1 sound really good! I powered them with a 1990s era Technics 100wpc receiver and a small Nobsound class D amp. I then moved them to my 19x25 den and powered them with an Emotive A300 (150wpc) amp and Yamaha AVR. The Jamos are not up to the task of filling a large space at anything near enjoyable levels. So, Ive connected all five speakers back to the Technics and having a blast listening to tunes in the very retro Dolby Pro Logic mode! These are good speakers and at $147 for a 5.0 set the value is undeniable. Great starter set for a small room! Getem before theyre gone :)

I tested many genres and formats on this set and the sound is pretty damn good. Awesome Clarity, balance, and depth is what I hear when I push these without a sub and play the Phantom Thread soundtrack. Truly a great deal for the quality.
