I know Erin H measured the 807 here: https://www.erinsaudiocorner.com/loudspeakers/jamo_s807/
and he wasn't super impressed.

But....

You get all of this for $399!!!!

  • 2 x Jamo S 801 Bookshelf Speakers (Walnut)
  • Jamo S 81 CEN Center Speaker (Walnut)

I think "wasn't super impressed" is understating Erin's review. lol

It seems to me that they are on OK setup for $399, and should not be treated as "you get all of this for $399!!!" They are WAY over priced at $1000 retail for the set.

Also, a caution that Erin's estimated sensitivity was a lot lower than what Jamo claims.

I bought one of these packages already from them. Will have to review them sometime! :)

Should be interesting. The directivity of the 807 Erin reviewed didn't seem terrible. Definitely some issues around 400-500hz (port resonance??) and then what seems to be the crossover area around 3,000hz. Outside of that though, fairly flat and/or a fairly constant rise. I've definitely seen worse directivity from speakers you and others have measured.

From my understanding, some tone controls or possibly some shelf filters for the treble and bass might work well then.

I wouldn't purchase these for my own use (I already have "Cheap" polk audio monitor series 2 for that) but I could see this easily being an ok starter set for a surround system with some room eq.


Side not, when are you going to measure the smsl da-8s...I've been slowly waiting for that to be measured and compare to the loxjie a30. :)

It has been so long that I worry it has become obsoleted. :)
