Strength:
Incredibly detailed speakers with the most natural sounding mid range bar an electrostatic design. Massive frequency response. Weakness:
These speakers will instantly show up any inconsistencies or faults in a mix. If someone has mixed or mastered a track with too much bass, it will be unlistenable on these. They go down to 30hz! Price Paid: 1800

I am not new to the hifi game, I have had 37 pairs of loudspeakers in the last 10 years and have had many good ones and not so good but expsive ones ones. I have had some I have loved and some I detested but Variety is the spice of life and you can onlt learn from experience. First things first the Jamo Concert 11 is a very fine speaker. I have recently owned B&W matrix 802's,Zingaly Prelude 4's, Overture 4's , Pmc OB1's and Dynaudio Contour 1.8 mk2's, in the quest to replace my Impulse H1 full range horns with a domestically acceptable package. All of these other speakers did have great strengths but the Jamos surpisingly are a better allrounder and have the best midrange and upper frequencies of them all. The midrange and treble are fast accurate and natural with excellent presence and openess if slightly forward (noy metallic as others have said) without being harsh or excessive in any way. I really really like them which is suprising as I just bought them to see if they were any good. They are !!! They are not perfect, bass although very good is not quite as good as other areas. Basically these speakers are excellent and this is by any standard, Jamo are a company I normally and still do associate with high volume cheap loudspeakers but these are better than that and cac compete with Thiels, B&W's and the other long term Highend manufacturers and stand there ground and even show a few lessons of their own against the very best out there. If you get a chance on a pair jst buy them and I would not listen to those nutcases using low powered valves, I love valves but these need a fast sounding natural amplifier like something from MF, Moon, Bel Canto and the likes, All in All a total Bargain |

I have bought these speakers second hand for 900 Euros about two years ago, and they keep surprising me every time I listen to them. The sound image is very, very clear and natural. The sound they produce is so realistic that if you listen to a well recorded (which most are) live performance, and you close your eyes, you can witness the whole performance played out in front of you. Other people talk about lack of poor bass performance and the need for a powerful amplifier. Don’t let them misguide you! These speakers are very sensitive and can easily perform on a “low power” amplifier. The speakers produce sound very well with nearly no coloring to the sound.

Strength:
big and open soundstage. Cristal clear midrange with a dynamic sound. At times deep bass (30hz). One of the most beautiful speakers around.
Weakness:
The bass is a bit slow, source dependent. Will sound poor with bad recordings. Placement sensitive. Make no mistake hear, this is a very good product. But it takes a lot of effort (money) to make it sound good. Be careful with system matching, use a varm sounding cd-player and a powerful amp and you´re in hifi heaven. The sound is very detailed, open and dynamic. They have a big soundstage and they are on the bright side of neutral. That´s why equipment matching is important, forget about recievers - get a solid amp instead. It´s not worth trying, trust me I made that mistake once. Poor recordings will sound poor, garbage in - garbage out. Forget about playing rock or hard rock, the recordings are often so bad it will sound poor. But if you´re in to jazz, acoustic, classical or other music in that genre, this is the product for you. Otherwise look elsewhere. I have had my Jamo speakers for over 3 years, I recently changed to Dynaudio 1.3se. Which is a much better speaker in my opinion.

Strength:
Oerall sound is warm and detail Accurate midrange Bass is detail and quick Excellent Build quality and finish
Weakness:
Unforgiving with poor recording and poor electronics Long break-in time Very sensitive with placement I 've had my Jamo Concert 11 for more than 2 years. Sure, there's better speakers out there. But one needs to spend a LOT more on speakers to get better overall sound. Some similarly priced speakers will do a slightly better job with the high frequency. Yet, they lack the deatil or the impact in the mids and bass. Other speakers may have better bass reaponse, but they cannot touch the Jamo in the mids and treble. The bottom line is, the Jamo Concert 11 is a high-end speaker that does eveyrthing very well. In the past 2 yeares, I' ve listened to many speakers, such as Hales, Totem, PSB, B&W. As for those people who argue that the Concert 11 lacks bass, please understand the following: (1) You NEED a better power amp. Although the Jamo will work ok with a good high current AV receiver. They really need to partner with good separate components to reach its full potential; (2) These Jamos are NOT bass monsters. These are high end speakers that reproduce music faithfully; (3) If you need inaccurate, boom-box type party speakers, you might as well buy some Cerwin Vegas; (4) Experiment with the placement of these speakers. you'll be very surprise how big of a difference it will make My system are as follows: CD Player: Sony DVPS9000ES Interconnect: Kimber SilverStrek PreAmp: Krell KAV-250P PowerAmp: Aragon 8002 Similar Products Used: Paradigm Studio 80 Paradim Studio 20 Totem Arro Totem Model 1 Signature NHT Super Zero |
