Jamo S 805 Floorstanding Speaker Pair (Black)

I recently upgraded but still operate on a budget for my stereo (incrementally growing into it). I was using all bluetooth to whatever speaker was available. Once I got my new amp and turntable, I wanted to go more traditional with my setup. These fit the bill for look/size/price, so I pulled the trigger. Let me say, these are fantastic! An immediate upgrade in the aesthetics and sound. Yes, some of this is attributable to the new cartridge/amp, but the speakers really shine! The grilles add just enough to remind me of growing up. The casing is a rich, dark color that will match most anything. I have a Jamo subwoofer that I haven't even unpacked yet because these are simply doing it all for me at the moment. I may or may not keep the subwoofer, but I can say confidently that I don't NEED to keep it. I find myself more excited than ever to reach for a record after completing my new setup, and these speakers are a huge part of the reason why.

Very under-rated speakers, these sound great for even MSRP. They come in and just looking at how small these floor-standing speakers are you assume it’ll sound terrible, but once you pair it with a decent AMP and DAC, you realize there’s a lot of bang for your buck here. The frequency response is rated from 43Hz to 26Khz and while 43 doesn’t sound like you’d get a full-ranged sound from these, they have a very smooth and full sounding bass roll-off, meaning they sound bigger than the numbers make you think. The highs are brighter and a bit more exaggerated, however they don’t feel fatiguing, at least to my ears. Personally I love a bit of sparkle in my sound, so take that as you may. I suppose my only real complaint’s that the midrange is a bit stepped back in comparison to the rest of the sound. Overall you can’t go wrong with any of the Jamo S 800 series speakers, but the 805s are magical. They sound as good as they look.

Underatated and elegant looks Great value for the $$. Needs 50 or more watts per channel to sound good. Also recommend a subwoofer. Noticed a great improvement in sound by adding a better pre amp. Also noticed improved better highs by adding vibration pads to the base. These speakers are very revealing so the better the sound source the better the results.

Connected these speakers to mu Denon amp. Ran it through the usual sound test. Hey Nineteen, YYZ, Once in a Lifetime live, Madonna Music, and Roundabout. The speakers sound good. They sound better than the price point by a lot. I did prefer to listen with my little 8” Boston Acoustic powered sub about 35% power. The volume sweet spot for me is between 65 to 74 decibels. I read and watched quite a few reviews on these as I was going in without hearing them for myself before purchasing them.. The reviews are on point. Five stars considering the quality for the price. Good speakers.

These sound great for the price but one of the tweeters appear to be blown after only owning for 1.5yrs. These are in my game room and mostly used only on weekends, however just now I noticed the left speaker sounded much louder with the vocals and sure enough I can barely here the tweeter on the right speaker. Very disappointing and will eventually have to upgrade to something more reliable - I’m probably past my warranty since it’s been over a year.

Sounds good they are the rear on my quad set up great value.

Very good speakers for little room. Very nice design. Nice and competent seller who answer questions asap. Thanks.

My listening room is about 12 x14 and using a Sony strdh 590 receiver and a newer model Sony dvd/cd player. Bass was very good, not muddy and mostly smooth sounding. For small rooms music no sub is necessary. For movies always go with a sub. Highs were clear at moderate volume but distortion did set in at above that. Mids were not very clear and only average sounding. They look modern and should fit in nicely with any decor. Feet are sturdy after attaching to bottom and the magnetic grills seem upscale. So, if your expectations are to not be blown away and if you want decent sound played at moderate levels in a smaller listening area they are fine given the low $199 price. Ultimately I returned them as they didn't fit my needs.

Me gustó mucho, lo recomiendo ampliamente, calidad de sonido, elegante y se vende por pares, como debe ser. en cuanto vuelva a estar de oferta comprare otros.

I am not an audiophile, I don’t have the ears or knowledge to give these an in-depth review. I paired these gems with an SMSL DA-9 class D. For the price, imaging is quite good. Highs are excellent and lows are good. Mid-range is lacking a little. I’m not sure if the WaveGuide is doing anything at all. I will admit that I have a “junkyard” HT setup comprised of Sony speakers (satellites/bookshelves/sub) which are decent for movies, but these Jamos are better in comparison for stereo/music.
