The OFFICIAL Jamo Speaker Owner's thread! - Page 126

Are you sure the C607 weren't listed at $339.00 each tower speaker, as opposed to per pair? Because I've seen them priced that way.

Ive read that in order for some shops to get brand name products is to have a store front. Some dont even really open the doors to the store front they just use it to store the stuff for online sales.

There is a music shop here in my area that does that. They are never open but have been there for years. Then some one told me what they were doing.

the price was for one c607 tower TMJ and both the s506 and the c607 were listed in their ebay store.The people I went and talked with in the brick and morter store were very pushy and just not very responsive to questions that I asked.They were not busy, but when I told them I was putting my first HT together and just had questions and was not going to but anything right then they sat down behind their counter said I could look around and started doing things on a computer.I got the feeling that unless I was buying right then they did not have time for me.

Bower,congrats on the jackpot win! thats some good news man.What type of car do you want to get?I hope you stick around and update us on any new HT additions.How are things working out with your current set up.how did the two center channels sound,that was a wild looking set up.Also,when I said I thought the store was a front I meant a POSSIBLE front for other, lets say, "less than legitimate" activity's.Once again congrats on hitting that jackpot and have fun with the windfall.

The c607 are still being manufactured & i honestly dont think you would even get 1 for $340 even though they might price them that way.That sort of pricing is done to reel you in then they will tell you its for 1,not per pair.

Congrats bower,if anyone deserves a bit of luck its you i reckon.Even if we dont see eye to eye on certain things,but well done-j.I bought citroens top of the range C4 back in 07 & it was one of the best days of my life when i went & picked it up.Its the 1 that has being winning all the euro rallys with seb loeb at the wheel.Cool JBL sound system aboard too.its not a muscle car but it sticks to the road like glue

Hi I have a question for you guys. Is this speaker set good?
http://www.gentec-intl.com/product/5...cen--s426hcs3/

and does it need a subwoofer? It looks like all the speakers have them in it. Does that mean it dosn't need one, or it could wait or only an idiot would use them without a subwoofer?

Also would these be better then say KEF KHT-1005 which I could get for less when factoring in the reciever?

thanks for the help.

Yes, you would need a subwoofer. Every proper home theater setup can really use one. It's not a "must have", but you will definitely hear the difference when you add one later on.


That KEF model looks like a set of computer speakers. IMO, you will be much happier with the Jamo set in the long run.

Amazon had them for $299 each with free shipping last year.

That was a decent price last year,but look now & they're $500 each from the same outlet.Its now or later that matters,not last year.They're out of stock on the ones @ $400 each.

I seen them in the flesh,they look a lot better too.Maybe if you picked a sub to go with them you might get a deal.

I highly suspect that they were selling B-Stock.

I think that's why they were selling all those Jamo speakers for so cheap. I think Klipsch was dumping all of the B-Stock. And now, from what I understand, they recently received a new shipment of C80 and C60 speaker models and the prices are back to what they originally were. I'll bet the new shipment was of A-Stock.

Obviously this is just a working theory in my head, but when you look at what has occured over the last year or two, with all these outlets suddenly sleeing Jamo speakers for these amazingly low prices; it seems to make sense.

I don't know for certain, but that is what I suspect.

You're going to want a sub and you can get the s426 much cheaper than that.

I would pretty much always take the tower setup over satellites when both from quality manufacturers.

The C607s are $289 plus shipping.

I bought C605s and the C60 center from him a few months back at a great price. ($200ish for the C605s, $160ish for the center). He doesn't have a store or stock them. He just interacts with the US distributor to drop ship items at a very small profit over cost. My speakers arrived direct from the distributor on the west coast in perfect condition. I was hesitant to deal with him, but after a few emails and reading other positive reviews, I went for it. No problems. I even had a question about the speakers and he forwarded my email to the distribution guy who replied direct to me and answered my concern.

And who's to say that they won't come down in price again later?

If there is anything B-stock about my C607s from Amazon, I certainly haven't noticed it. Not a single imperfection in sight.

A shop from where I live sells Jamo C607 for USD 266 each. I think prices depend on location.

Exactly,thats why i said its now and later that matters.Prices go up & down all the time ,but nobody can do anything about a unit that used to be a good price,they can only buy now & in the future...

They (c607s) are getting on a bit now but still being made.I can tell you this for sure:If not for the KLIPSCH alliance or whatever you wouldn't have got them at near $300 a piece,but thats in the past also so who knows what can happen.

Im sure a lot of lads on this thread would like a link to that bargain,can you get one?

I wish I could, but I currently live in the Mid East.

Not to worry ibby,there seems to be great deals going on at the moment,so if anybody wants them they can be had for approx. $600 a pair & whatever delivery charges.$600 a pair is a great price IMO,even though i got a new pair for 350,i was very lucky,i have a great jamo & audio dealer.if i was looking to get them now the cheapest i can find them is 850 a pair without del. charges,so stateside they are a genuine bargain IMO.

Do used Jamo's have really poor resale value or is it the slow economy?

I have no luck so far selling my C803, C80 center and C80 surrounds.

Previous speakers I sold, wharfedale, ushers, sold really quick.

I receive really low ball offers like 50% of what I paid for.

they have less than 10 hours of total use.

I think it's because they are lesser known here in NA

probably the case plus retail, they are selling them at really low prices.

hey Mal how are things going with the new bluray player,is the c607's and there friends getting a good work out.I just watched Iron Man 2 Friday night on bluray and it sounded real good.I cant wait to get my C-series together and hear how much better it will sound.
take care.Jsm.

Just looking for suggestions for speakers stands for a pair of C803's ??? The stands need to be between 2-1/2 to 3 feet tall, and preferably not more than $100 a pair.

Thanks to TjMV3 and his "excess" gear, I'm joining the Jamo group and will be changing out my Aperion speakers for C809's up front and the C803's as surrounds. I recently set up the C803's along side the Aperion 6T towers up front and found that the bookshelf speakers were every bit as good as the towers... and maybe even a little better. That says a lot given the cost and size difference versus the 6T towers. The C803's were just as revealing and surprisingly sounded a little fuller down low.

How are you,j? Yes its working really well as a system,esp the reciever which normal DTS/DD DVD movies were being played.But since i start watching the likes of AVATAR,FAST & FURIOUS boxset,its a different machine.The room does'nt rumble as much as it feels like an earthquake with some scenes!The player is very good quality soundwise & also build.I would say the 51FD player was a better built BDP again but it took up a lot of room for a disc spinner!I toed in my C607s about 2"s each side & i'm getting a bit more detail.The integration from front to back is amazing also!I would say to anybody with reservations about the C60 surrounds not to even think about it for a minute.They're brilliant in multi-ch.The amp has the EXT. STEREO mode which works really well for music.So there you have it,i know it seem like a lot of hot air,but it took a lot of $$$ to get to here.But i'l keep on going as long as the deals are out there.I'l give HD3D about a year or so & if it works out i'l just change the TV & BDP to 3D ones.I believe the big companys are working on BDPs which one wont have to get a 3D ready reciever,so that will save a lot of money.Ah well we shall see how it goes,hope you get your system soon-j.

Its exactly the opposite in europe,where they hold money & the really good ones are very hard to get b-stock,open box,second hand etc.I was recently offered 600 for my D.A pair of c607s!

Hi:
Getting already my Onkyo 608 I am looking for a good speaker system. So I would appreciate your advices
My main use will be Blue ray MOVIES, Music videos, and sporadically listen classic music.
My room is quite big...around 18 ftX16 ft.
My alternative are above. Any considerations about it?
There is a great price difference between the above systems...I wonder if that 406 is as good as Amazon user comments state for around US$200-250 because it would be a steal. I have read in this forum a lot of good opinion of the S506..but have not hear anything about the S406...

Any comment??

TIA

Miguel
