First off, my version is a little different than the ones pictured here and online. My version has two rear ports at top and bottom, and none in the front, and the base is a little different. That said I agree with the first reviewer on the light nature of these speakers. I would call them a floorstander based on their design but would really consider them more like a quality bookshelf with its own stand built in. These are nicely made and do not embarass themselves in a nice room. (mine are black).

Jamo E660 tower three way with 6.5 inch woofer. Not much info on these online, so I thought I should submit some initial reports. First off, the cabinets and finish are quite good although not very heavy and easily tipped over by say a cat. The low front port begs for a nice sand bag or some lead shot.The first hour or two listening suggests a break-in period needed as well as possibly some additional stuffing which can help out many under damped speakers and cut some of the subtle mid bass cabinet resonances. That being said, I think these with the small footprint will prove valuable for many HT enthusiasts especially as the high end appears pretty extended and apparently imaging benefits some from the staggered baffle design. The tweeters do quite well on cymbals and articulate better than expected. The mid-range seems decent, but it's the bass performance that is curious. The one 6.5 incher certainly does an ample job for what it is, but I think some more break-in is required. Amazing is the ability to play quite loud without much breakup for such a light speaker and obviously no huge magnet structure. I think this is where technology is helping mfgs. do a little more with a little less. I have been listening to several respected vintage speakers lately and these although don't blow any doors, are surprisingly good and engaging for being unbroken, light and supposedly mid-low Klipsch line.I can see similarities between a pair of Polk RT400 towers I had once that I liked a lot. Overall I can say I am pleasantly surprised at the size vs. performance. Give them a shot and with the right sub these may really impress the right crowd. |
