would like to know if anybody's had any experience with these speakers. the new conceret line up frm jamo, all made in PRC. would like to discuss this with fellow users. thnks
hi ,dont know much abt the C605/607, but have been using the C809 for the last one year ,they are jst AWESOME, you wud never listen to another speaker again for a long long time, only disadvantage is these C809 require a very high powered amp to sound thier best, and also the price-1.6 lakh INR
I have C607 for more than a year now and I think they sound great (I use PM7001 amp). They are far from being "cheap" or "mass market" speakers as the perception (not sure how many people have really auditioned these speakers) seems to be on this forum. Check this out:
BTW, Regarding The Jamo c607
I had a Jamo E855 once upon a time. This was sold to someone in through this forum. My personal experience is that the new C6xx don't come remotely close to the musicality of the older E7/E8/D5 series speakers. There have been compromises to the cabinet compared to the old speakers. The newer ones are significantly thinner.
Jamos were never the most revealing speakers. However the newer ones are just dull and boring. It doesn't help matters that they are woefully overpriced in India.
I still have a pair of E700 bookshelves in my bedroom and absolutely adore them. But the newer speakers are nowhere close.
Wow subhash thats a great speaker you have there mate, they look gorgeous in piano black, far better than Tyra Banks IMO. I bet they sound incredible, which city are you in ?

Check out the review of C607 in Feb '09 issue of AV Max (which also carries a review of C807 though it is rated lower than C607). Though pricing could be better, with respect to SQ & build they stand along side the best in the class.

I'd rather base my opinions on what my ears can hear than reviews written by some other bloke. I'm not sure what speakers he compared it with to give it a best in class award but to my ears, they just didn't sound as good as earlier jamo speakers. They didn't pass the knuckle test either - the cabinet sounded resonant and hollow.
ROC, I am curious. What amp did you pair the Jamo Concert series speakers' with when you auditioned them? The C405 is a medium sized floorstander which does a fantastic job. The 603 is a lovely bookshelf and the 605 is a slightly slimmer and taller floorstander. Personally I liked the C405 better. But I did not have enough time to sample the C605 to the fullest extent so one never knows.
But these speakers when paired with Marantz amps/receivers really do justice to midrange and vocals. That was my experience.
Cinebels had it paired with a Marantz PM7001 and a CD6002. Neither of that is bad equipment at the entry level but it just didn't have any emotional attachment whatsoever.
At 1.5 odd lacs for the C809, there are way better options out there - in terms of sound, in terms of looks and in terms of snob value. If it was priced around a lac or so, it would make some sense. In the US, the C809 sells for under 1500 USD per pair.
