The clean lines of the Studio series complement any decor

This S606 front speaker has a 1" tweeter and two 5" midrange drivers, to ensure strong, clear vocals and instrumental sections, while the 8" side-mounted woofer delivers deep bass. The S606 front speaker is fully equipped for optional bi-wiring and bi-amplification, and comes with spikes. Removable fabric grilles are featured on all S606 series models.

For added lows, the S 606 HCS 3 system can also be combined with one of our powerful subwoofers (sold separately), such as the SUB 250. The combination of an 8" woofer unit housed in a unique slotted port cabinet and a powerful BASH(R) amplifier capable of delivering 250W of peak power will give your system even more outstanding performance.

The Jamo Story

It's 1966. In the fishing village of Glyngore, Denmark, carpenter Preben Jacobsen begins building loudspeakers in his henhouse. Though blessed with great woodworking skills and broad knowledge of acoustic technology, Preben soon comes to realize that selling the remarkable speakers he's built is not his strength. In 1968, he brings his brother-in-law Julius Mortensen - an experienced salesman and exporter - into the mix, and Jamo is born.

Speakers that sound as great as they look

From that humble beginning, Jamo has grown to become one of Europe's largest and most respected loudspeaker manufacturers. And, as a Klipsch Group brand, Jamo has expanded into the Asian and North American markets.

I had never heard of jamo befor I found them here, but I found out that they are owned by klipsch so I figured that the were probably a good brand and mabey klipsch was selling them cheap to gain recognition in the US so I bought these thinking that if they were no good at least they were cheap.But it turns out that they are very good speakers even compared to speakers that cost three times as much. I have done a side by side comparison with klipsch icon vf-35($499 each) and def tech bp7006($649 each).The jamo was much smoother in the high end and had far better bass and mid range responce than the klipsch.the jamo and def tech were nearly the same in mid and high end sound with the def tech having a better bass responce with there built in amp but ether way you go you will still need a separet sub for movie lfe so the built in amp on the def tech is really a wast of power and also limets placement because they need an outlet neer by. the jamos do have good bass responce for most music. I've run a 31hz signal through them and heard it good, just a little bit quieter than the 50hz tone, but for movies with really low bass you will still need a powered sub. I also compared the center channel speakers for all three of these, the included jamo, the klipsch vc-?($250) and the def tech procenter 1000($220) the jamo beat the other two hands down, both the klipsch and the def tech had a tinny or harshnes sound to them at the high end.

This review is from: Jamo S606HCS3 S-606-HCS-3 5.0 speaker system (Electronics)

I was in the market for a 5.1 system to pair with my newly purchased Pioneer VSX-1020-K receiver. I was looking at low cost speakers between $300-$500. I had never heard of Jamo, but, as Kevin stated in his review, saw they were owned by Klipsch and took a chance. I am extremely glad I did. My father recently purchased the Energy Take Classic 5.1 setup for $100 less. He should have spent the extra. These speakers are very clean and crisp and are also not hard to look at. For those looking for a smaller, satellite style setup, this isn't for you as the speakers are somewhat bulky. The response is incredible and could compare to $2,000 - $3,000 speaker setups. For movies, they severely lack in bass and stand alone sub woofer is an absolute must. Currently, I have them paired with an old KLH sub I had kicking around. A large sub isn't necessarily required, as its just for the LFE that you need it. The floor speakers provide a surprisingly nice bass level for the relatively small subs. They are great for music, but, at louder levels, there is a clear absence of bass.

I shopped around for about a month to find speaker systems in this price range and could not find anything remotely close to this. At the end, it came down to this set and the Energy RC Micro 5.1 (a satellite style setup), but ultimately choose these as I have a fairly large room to fill. I would HIGHLY recommend these speakers to anyone interested. Just be sure to add a sub for your home theater.

I don't even know where to start with these speakers. I picked these up for $400 from Amazon -- what a steal! I have this paired with an Apple TV, and I can hear parts of my music that I've never heard before. The speakers have a surprisingly nice bass response for lacking a subwoofer, but you will want a subwoofer regardless to compliment the set. That said, this is probably the most amazing setup I've gotten for the price, it doesn't even compare to some Polk setup from Best Buy that you'd get at this price. Granted, these speakers are huge (the floor-standing speakers are ~4ft high), they aren't for everyone but if I were you I'd make it work.
