C 803: Uncompromising Style and Sound in a Compact Package

Even though it's small, the C 803 is designed big - and produces a big sound you can clearly hear. It's been built using Jamo's unique convex tapered vent, which reduces unwanted port turbulence and virtually eliminates port noise. Regardless of size, every speaker in the series is represented by the capital C as in "Concert". The sculptured C 80 speakers, with their high level of finish and perfectly balanced sound, are a tribute to the great music and film experiences that we all love and enjoy.

The speakers in the C 80 series share a number of attributes. They all feature tweeters with DTT and WaveGuide, and woofers and midrange units using Hard Conical Cone and Centre-Plug technology. Furthermore they all come with an Active Impedance Correction system, which neutralizes the magnetic field around the pole piece, reducing distortion by up to 50 percent. All front speakers in the C 80 series feature bi-wiring allowing you to fine tune the sound in perfect harmony with your room.

As all of the speakers in the series are developed using the same uncompromising philosophy, it is possible to combine them in a number of different ways. Soundwise, the C 80 family is characterized by its genuinely authentic acoustics. The series always conveys highly detailed and beautifully resonant sound across the entire frequency spectrum. Whether you are looking for the ideal cinematic - or the perfect musical - experience, the C 80 series is guaranteed to blow your acoustic window wide open.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exquisite., January 7, 2009

By	J. Zisk - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Coming from KEF 104's and Monitor Audio (Gold) Ref. PMC 702's...
These rival those speakers (which cost twice as much.)
Transparent, airy, detailed... Great stage depth.
Slightly excessive low end, but controllable with foam in the port.
Beautiful!
