Product Description

From the Manufacturer

From the Manufacturer Jamo's subwoofer lineup is comprised of more than just great looking, highly versatile, quality products; each member of the range can be combined with an existing Jamo sound system or another quality brand. Our subwoofers are specially designed to broaden your experience of low frequencies, from explosions and earthquakes to subtle musical nuances and dynamic peaks.

Small size, outstanding sound, fits anywhere

A number of things must be considered when matching a speaker system and a subwoofer: price, musical taste and preferences, as well as the acoustic characteristics of the speakers and the room. Jamo subwoofers feature a wide variety of controls, such as variable phase control and variable cut of frequency control.

SUB 250: Compact Thunder

The Jamo SUB 250 is equipped with an 8" woofer unit housed in a slotted port cabinet. It features a powerful BASH(R) amplifier capable of delivering 250W of peak power. Relative to its size and price, the SUB 250 delivers outstanding performance and is capable of producing bass frequencies as low as 30 Hz.

The SUB 250 has a very flat frequency response, which allows it to play bass notes very accurate, compared to many conventional bass-reflex subwoofers. That response extends up to 150Hz. That's important, because the output from many subwoofers falls off dramatically above 100Hz (or even lower with some models), making them very hard to integrate with smaller speakers.

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.

This subwoofer features the highly efficient BASH(R) amplifier technology

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. Through the years, Jamo has received widespread recognition for creating products with a uniquely 'Danish sound', a balance that can best be described as open, clear, coherent - and undeniably musical.

Jamo products are designed and engineered to maintain the proud Danish traditions of beauty and functionality. This is reflected in the contemporary, yet timeless, look of its creations and their use of only the highest quality materials. As a result, the speakers and other products developed by our craftsmen combine durability, simplicity and aesthetics that add to the beauty of any setting.

Jamo are suppliers of custom-designed entertainment, with a mission is to bring unique and memorable sonic experiences to your home. Whether you want music in the kitchen, the living room or on the terrace; whether you desire 2-channel stereo or a surround system, be confident that Jamo has the sound solution that's ideal for your needs.

I am a long term fan of the Jamo's products: a European manufacturer that made audiophile speakers. As they are not so known here in US, the prices are great and you can easily find a real bargain for his products.

Let go know for the Sub review: This is a multipurpose product that could fit very well for you Home Theater, for gaming and for Stereo listening. The bass is present, deep, precise .... The design is discreet and can fit in many places of your room.

Be mind that this is an 8" subwoofer, with a 250W amplifier. So if you are a big fan of bass and have a big room, maybe you have to consider move up to a more powerful option like Jamo C80 SUB Subwoofer (Single, Black) but more expensive of course.

For me I wanted this sub for my home cinema and gaming, and I'm more than happy with the performance, precision and the price of this. An equivalent Kilpsch subwoofer can cost twice as much as these.

Hope this helps.

PS: if you need help placing your sub, here's one hint: put at first your sub in the place where you normally sit for listening, turn on the sound, walk through the room and listen for the bass. When the bass' sound looks good, this is a good spot to place your new sub.

This review is from: Jamo Sub 250 Subwoofer (Single, Black) (Electronics)

Purchased this sub to go with my Jamo E 805 bookshelf speakers. The E 805's were great by themselves, but adding the 250 subwoofer still made a world of difference. Set-up was easy. Considering the power output rating of the 805's, I adjusted the volume on the back of the sub to about 50%.

The sub's bass is deep enough for me, as I prefer a tight powerful bass presence. This sub delivers. Only an 8" sub, I was still impressed and totally satisfied with its performance and solid construction build. To complete the system I purchased an Onkyo TX-NR509 receiver, at a steal for $196.00 from Brandsmart USA. This is a system that I use in my bedroom, as my main system delivers sound through JBL speakers, using a Yamaha receiver. I am considering going to a 5.1 configuration, but not really sure. I am content with the 2.1 set up for now.

This sub has more than enough power for my bedroom, and I would venture to say that it could possibly do the same for larger rooms. The price wasn't bad either. Delivery was ahead of schedule and my sub arrived in mint condition, as it was new.

As far as size and placement, this sub does not hog up space and is placed on the same wall as the 805's. While listening to the sound, one could quite easily assume that the 805's are producing the bass as stand alone speakers, but not!!!!!! The frequencies blend very well together.

Another outstanding construction by Jamo. I highly recommend this sub for both bookshelf and floor standing speakers.
