Jamo A102HCS5 5.1 Speaker apckage 500W - Black
(5 out of 5) by D. Crosby on May 1, 2009 (Herts)I ordered these speaker on 27 Apr 2009 they arrived the following day on express delivery. thanks Amazon. When i opened the box the speakers look awesome and the build quality Excellent. Shiney black. The sound quality on Bluray / Virgin TV / and Music is out of this world. well worth the money. They were £199, but went up to £227 this week. still a good price. I have paired them with an Onkyo receiver and Sony PS3 and Virgin +.

Superb value for money.
(5 out of 5) by S. Hunt on Sep 19, 2009Given the price and size of these speakers, the sound quality and build quality are both excellent.
Of course there are sonic compromises. In common with all speakers this small, the satellites' limited bass response leaves the subwoofer to handle undesirably high bass frequencies (everything below 150Hz). That frequency is too high to render the subwoofer "directionless", so don't expect a perfect stereo soundstage. That said, the satellites do actually go a bit lower than the specs say. My Yamaha's auto-calibration routine set the sub crossover to a surprising 110Hz. I did some experiments with a test tone CD and found 130-140Hz is probably a better compromise. For my amp and my room and my ears, anyway.

Sound of Excellence
(5 out of 5) by Mattdoc30 on May 29, 2009 (East Sussex, UK)I'm new to the Surround Sound system game, but since plunging in with these speakers and the Onkyo TX-SR 577 I don't think I'll ever go back. The speakers deliver clear and crisp sounds while packing a punch. Fully recommended for someone setting up a 'Budget System'.

great speakers
(5 out of 5) by S. Wolf on Apr 8, 2009 (Somerset, UK)These speakers are fantastic... small, beautifully designed and most importantly they sound brillant. I chose these to replace a pair of very large Jamo speakers and these are even better sounding despite being smaller (and cheaper).
I teamed it with a Sony STR-DG520 AV unit and Bravia TV and have been very impressed by the results...
Buy it!!
