Jamo Quotes

Boasting doesn’t come naturally to the Danish – we usually prefer to let out achievements speak for themselves. In Jamo’s case, however, there’s so much good press being generated around the globe about our products that it’s fiendishly hard work to plough through it all!

So, to make life a little easier for everybody, we’ve put together a mini-summary of some of the insightful press reviews that we’ve had for our speakers and electronics in recent times.

Packed with review quotes covering everything from the flagship R 909 to our highly-regarded iPod speaker systems, from our THX products to our in-wall designs and fully encompassing our much-praised Concert series, we hope this document will give you a small but telling insight into the way that Jamo is regarded worldwide.

Here’s just a small selection of the reviews that we’ve been gathering, beginning with plaudits for the remarkable R 909, a unique flagship that has pushed back the technological boundaries of speaker design…

R 909, The Absolute Sound, USA (December 2006)
“......they should be a high-end force to be reckoned with. The Jamo R 909s are poised to become a legend in their own time. And they deserve it.”

R 909, European High-End Loudspeaker of the Year 2006-2007 (August 2006)
”The R 909’s sound is free of cabinet coloration, stunningly unrestrained, crisp and dynamic. This large speaker comes with an exemplary finish and superior attention of detail - an impressive ‘high-end’ statement.”

R 909, What Hi-Fi?, UK (July 2006)
“They slam, they deliver the rush of a full orchestra, they let you hear each breath a singer takes and, above all, they’re special.”

R 909, HI-FI CHOICE, UK (June 2006)
“In short, this is a speaker with personality. What you get here is an enormous sense of scale, far exceeding conventional speakers.....”

R 909, Stereo Video, Russia (March 2006)
“The new Jamo speakers reveal the full potential of classical stereo reproduction. Their sound reproduction opportunities are really impressive and spacious. The R 909s are able to draw listeners’ attention to little-known music, and to cast fresh light on familiar records endowing them with surprising new quality.”

R 909, HiFi & Musik, Sweden (February 2006)
“These speakers sound almost like no other speakers we have encountered. Their effortless and natural way of playing possesses such an obvious
authority that almost everything else sounds boxed-in, smeared out and slow.”

R909, Prestige Audio Video, France (January 2006)
“The most impressive aspect of the performance of these R909 speakers is their incredible impact. There is no perceptible ghosting, and the speakers deliver lean, crisp and spirited clarity of attack.”

R 909, CINEenCASA, Spain (January 2006)
“Their design removes several barriers to good listening and renews our faith in a loudspeaker concept that we always admired. There are no real caveats here and I can’t imagine the R 909s failing to satisfy….I fervently recommend listening to them.”

Where style is concerned Jamo are past masters at combining good looks with top-notch performance. The advent of flatsrcreen technology has allowed us to create the A-series, a range of ‘lifestyle’ designs that fulfil that brief to the letter…

C 80
C 809, Best Buys Home Theater, Australia (February 2007)
“And it didn’t matter what we played, it all sounded just the way we imagined it should. It is our duty to point out the flaws in the products that we review, but we are presented with a genuine difficulty here. What if here are no flaws? The accuracy of these loudspeakers was superb, their musicality unquestionable. They delivered glorious rounded, yet precise, stereo imaging.”

C 803, Audioholics.com, USA (May 2007)
“What can I say? I loved these speakers…the Jamo C 803’s made me feel as though I was in the studio as the track was being laid down.”

“Combine an iPod full of music with the i300 and you’ve got a system
capable of outperforming any of the stereos you’ll find at the big electronic chain stores, while taking up a fraction of the space in your listening room.”

i300, My Tech, France (June 2006)

i300, hifi video, France (May 2006)
”.....the sound reproduction quality from this system is very good indeed, and

i300, AV Review, UK (April 2006)
“With the perfect synergy between form and function Jamo’s i300 edges above some very strong competition and is our overall winner. 10 out of 10 - group test winner.”

i300, Smarthouse, Australia (January 2006)
“The sound sparkles... stereo imaging is pinpoint-sharp, and easily the best of its competitors. Bass is also strong, and so dance, funk and soul alike rock and rumble along.”

i300, Macworld, USA (January 2007)
“The Jamo i300 truly can take the place of a typical home stereo - a claim made, often falsely, by other manufacturers.”

i300, What Hi-Fi, UK (April 2006)
“Sonically, the i300 is a really substantial listen. Like the best iPod docks, it goes very loud before distortion sets in, but its key asset is solid, well-founded and truly substantial bass. Five out of five stars.”

Phew! With so much positive coverage to choose from you can imagine that putting this file together wasn’t much of a hardship!

Be inspired by the words of the experts and go and experience the Jamo effect yourself. Music and home cinema will never sound the same again…
