When I was 20, broke, and single, I was lucky enough to be employed by Bose. A perk of that employment was the ownership of a Bose Lifestyle 12 HT System. For a starter system, it was excellent. I added a 12 inch powered sub-woofer to the system to shore up the low end.

When I was 24, I got my first solo apartment in Rockport Texas, ‘94. I was finally making good money as medic. So where did I go? Why circuit city of course. And what did I get? The Bose acoustimass 5 series 2. Paired with an Onkyo AVR with a 6 disc changer and Toshiba VCR that played on my 26” Samsung CRT tv. Baller!

My first system in the mid 90s consisted of a Harmon Kardon AVR80 and a Velodyne VA1012 sub (I was working at Circuit City and got them using accommodations or my store discount. With the money I saved I bought a set of Paradigm monitor 7s matching center and a set of Paradigm Dipole surround speakers. It has been all downhill from there.

So refreshing to listen to a knowledgeable audio person who appreciates value in a product and isn't just an audiophile snob.

Great review! I bought mine in white for $175. I added a Jamo C912 sub for $165 and the Atmos speakers for $200. $540 for the quality of this setup is ludicrous. I power this with a Denon AVR S760H I got on clearance for $250 at Costco. My LG C1 65" (that I got on clearance for $900) completes the setup. I love everything about this, especially the fact that my wife approved the price and then the sounds and visuals!

I just got this system, the sub, and 2 8 inch Polk RC80i in ceiling speakers, and absolutely blown away by the bang for buck value this setup gives.

Hey everyone! I saw this video last summer (‘22) while digging for info for the best budget system for my surround sound project….yes I bought this set largely based on this review 🎉 And others. After having it for a solid year coupled with the S 10 subwoofer, I’ve had no complaints and it’s been amazing. Running a set of rear surrounds from sony (7.1) through a sony receiver dh -790, the only speaker I found was lacking is indeed the center speaker and I always kept this review point in mind. Nothing will change that though. I tried using the crossover settings, increasing the DB level and other things. I did purchase the larger center speaker on a sale and sold the other one. Soooooo much better! Came back to watch this review all over again over a year later to write this out. Thanks for a perfect review. He speaks the truth.

Thank you for your comment. I would also like to purchase this 5.0 JAMO. The only doubt I have from listening to Andrew, is to prefer the s83 center over s81 in the package. Reading you also confirmed that by replacing the center unit you had a good improvement. Can you confirm that the highs and mid-highs are crystal clear and make the dialogues heard very well? for the bass I have a very good subwoofer so I prefer to have for the other speakers clear dialogues. I would also like to match the two atmos speakers to complete. then do you recommend this replacement of the center unit and then it's ok? thank you.

Seeing videos like these, where it doesn't require a second mortgage to purchase equipment is very refreshing!

This is a buy at $200, but when I looked at your links, I found the prices were around $400. I might suggest a worthy contender for the low price bargain surround system. Polk T15 5.25" bookshelf speakers $69 / pair thru Amazon Alternate front tower speakers. Polk T50 2-way 6.25 bass driver with 2 passive 6.25 reinforcement woofers. $238 / pair. Polk T30 center channel $99 Polk 10" PSW10 Subwoofer $129 Overall if this system was puchased with bookshelf speakers, you would pay just under $370. If the system were to be purchased with two tower speakers up front, keeping the standard twin woofer front speaker, the price would be around $535. I haven't heard the Jamo, but I can almost guarantee you would love the sound of such an entry level surround system. Definitely clear midrange, balanced and articulate highs, with a natural bass extension through the sub that would blend well even with the smaller bookshelve speakers.

I took about a 15 year break from home theater, but decided to finally invest in something. I chose the Jamo S 809 5.0 home cinema pack for $700 and I couldn’t be happier. Sounds better than my old Denon and Wharfedale set-up from back in 2002.

$200 for that system is a steal. The s803’s go for that price for just the pair

I had the 803's in my cart when I stumbled on the whole system for about the same price. Biggest no brainer purchase ever even if I only wanted the 803's. Ended up using the whole system. My dad who has a lot bigger budget for speakers than me came to visit and commented on how good they sounded then I told him the price "that's 1/5 the price of one of my speakers".

I love your style on how you review the items but also how you presented this review on your camera angles and visuals of focusing on the set up of the speakers and the room and panning to you. Great videography.

This has been very helpful! Me and my wife are buying our second house because we now have a little one. My housewarming gift to myself is going to be a whole new home theater kit and this looks like it’s right up my alley!

Great review! I just bought this Jamo 803 HCS system for my first surround sound system on sale. I also bought 2 Klipsch R620Fs loudspeakers on sale as well. I wall mounted the 803s as side speakers and am using the 801s for iMac/GarageBand music studio speakers. I have an old Yamaha RX-V373 5.1 receiver but the Klipschs have enough bass that idc about a subwoofer. A very affordable first time home theater system that I couldn’t be happier with. Thank you!

WOW, fantastic speakers! Unbelievable good value! Good catch Andy 👍

Thank you for this Andrew, your ability to impart important information about the product, but then mix it up with an objective viewpoint, overlayed with subjectivity and most importantly an unbiased viewpoint, except when the product deserves its bias I expect is the reason you have your audience. Another reason is your broad coverage making sure the expensive stuff that we all lust after and the few can buy is juxtaposed with affordable quality. Caught your channel at the beginning of the year, when fate would have it was looking for desktop speakers for my now definitely and very lucky to have home office (read spare bedroom). I bought a pair of edifiers which are perfect and fulfill the brief of good enough, but your channel has always left me wanting more. Your review of the marantz nr1200 convinced me that was the stereo amplifier needed, but what speakers. Always wanted Marantz with a relative’s Marantz separates being a focal point when I was a child. Without a massive space, it was never going to be a big room filling sound, and being a little bit older I’m no longer chasing that big bass either, which also meant I didn’t need to look at budget busting numbers, besides I never spent a lot of time indoors (fresh air used to be great) it was never at the top of my priority list. Summer and a relaxing of lockdown rules saw it go to the back of my mind. But a purchase of a 50” Philip’s ambilight for under £500 on amazon (can’t fault Jeff) coupled with the realisation that we’re going to be stuck indoors for a long time, my focus has switched back to home cinema. When I moved house a few years ago, I said I wasn’t going to fill the place with speakers, so bought a Bose soundbase solo 15, which again is good enough, but the edifiers I bought actually sounded better. Key was stereo separation that is sorely lacking from the soundbase. Anyways to cut a long story short the options are now the Jamo S807 HCS. As I figure I won’t need to add the subs, plus they look great and they can’t be any worse than the 803 system you’ve reviewed here. The ambilight TV has opened me to world of Atmos, plus your review of the Sony AV receiver, which frankly has had better reviews than the Marantz but has led me down the path of the Marantz NR1710. Must be in champagne and love the half size. I have seen the NR1711 for £50 more. Is it worth spending extras on the 1711. Will it be more future proofed, as I have no intention of chasing the high of buying new components every few years. The NR1710 plus the 807 system comes in at £1100 which I think is a fantastic deal. Plan to get the system bedded in then add the S8 Atmos modules and hopefully that should see me through our new life spent indoors. It would be great to get your opinion and also any advice on cabling, and thanks again for providing us all with a great public service. Thanks and keep safe.

I'd been waiting a hot minute for these bad boys to become available in stock in walnut again. Purchase made and its down to these balanced, unbiased, un-pretentious reviews. Thanks and keep up the good work

I have that same Jamo Center Speaker and I love it. Its part of my Polk Audio 5.2.4 Dolby Atmos System.

Speakers are absolutely beautiful!

I am still using my first surround system with a little upgrade recently. This is in my bedroom because I prefer to watch movies in there. I have a nice set of Klipsch reference bookshelf speakers (R4x something) and a Klipsch home theater in a box for surround channels 4, 5, 6 & 7. I was using the HTIAB center channel for years and recently upgraded to a Klipsch reference R34C center channel (4 mids and a tweet). I am using a 20+ year old Infinity 8" powered sub and my receiver is a Pioneer Elite 7.2 unit. Eventually I would like to upgrade the surround speakers but I am in no hurry.

Hi Andrew, I watched a lot of your videos, and I ended up buying a pair of Jamo S 803 and an Arylic A50 Amp is computer desktop speakers. Sounds wonderful. Thank you.

My "first" surround system was Cerwin Vega D-9's fronts and Cerwin Vega D-5's rears (from my stereo system). Pro Logic was the first to come out so all I had to do was upgrade my amp. When 5.1 came out (another amp upgrade!), I added a small Sony 10" sub and a PBS centre channel. I have upgraded many times for new formats, etc. but still have my Cerwin Vegas! Not bad for 40+ years!! I would also like to add I love your videos!

I picked up the 803's about a month ago or so ago on an impulse buy. Heard good things about them but when I saw $129/pr on Amazon for the white ones I couldn't get them in the cart fast enough. Love them. Mostly using them for desktop with the front port but looking forward to working them into a Home Theater setup. Thanks for the review. Good to know I didn't completely whiff.

Great review. Thinking of buying these. Very budget suitable. Thanks again Kevin Spacey! Keep it up!

Great video Andrew. You got a steal on those speakers. Add a sub and budget receiver or even a better center channel and you have an affordable yet enjoyable system. Glad you do reviews for people who don't care to spend 3-5 grand on a theater system.

Ordered these for a small room started for surround. I Will eventually get a reciever Would like the atmos ones that fire up. But I bought the white ones. I do not see those around. So first I will focus on the eventually part of the reciever. Thank you both for all your wonderful work.

NIIIICE!!! Yeah i've been diggin the reviews on the Jamo!! I'm acutally super interested in them! Totally up my alley since i'm using surround sound system for everyday listening for music and for when my wife and i watch netflix/primevideo/disneyplus/etc.... The first surround sound system i heard i think was the Bose Acoustimass originals. And STAR WARS was the trial movie and it was AWESOME! For the longest time (since i'm a PC fanatic) i used the RCA surround sound system i got from Walmart on the cheap.. $250. The bass was incredible! And the speakers had excellent mids and highs plus i have a Dolby Digital Graphic Equalizer to hone it in... problem though was that the fan on the reciever would dry up and make heinous noises so i had to pop the "hood" off of it and lube the ball bearing on it from time to time! haha!! And then the sub plastic front piece glus must've started to weaken cause the sub-w would rattle at certain frequencies and volumes in general. So i took some twine and wrapped it up tight as i could and it fixed it for the most part HAHAHA!! Man what a gerry rigged setup! You ever hear of Danley Labs Speakers? They do a lot of commercial type cinema surround sound setups probably very out of budget price range but they have a "synergy" speaker basically like... multiple loaded horn speaker that looks super interesting.

Wow, such a beautiful dog. I know, you do a review and I talk about a dog, but that dog is a thing of beauty.

Jamo speakers can be great. A good pair of towers like the older s246's will outperform many speakers that cost 10x as much.... Literally. They can be hit or miss depending on the model but Jamo is always good for the price. Actually really good for the price. You can buy them without worry.

Nice to see a decent affordable home theater, paired with a decent $500 ht reciever and the sub you hav a good sounding system for under a grand , not bad. My first home theater is actually the one I have now with one upgrade. Infinity interlude suite featuring a pair of Il 50s, pair of Il 10s, and an IL 25c center. A Carver av705x 5 channel powerhouse and a recently added Marantz Av7005 preamp processor. The marantz gave me a level of sound quality that surprised me. This system sourced from Ebay cost me under $1500 bucks. Speakers going on 17 years

I purchased the Center and front Bookshelves. They are nice looking speakers. But the center channel in particular was "shouty" The treble is a bit crispy too. I put these in place of ELAC B6.2 and C6.2. After listening to this setup for ~1.5 years the JAMOs did not pass muster with me. Maybe just a corner case but I was watching The Naked City TV shows from early 1960s. In the recording there is a recording artifact where there is a hum after vocals are spoken. The S83 Center would resonate and howl with this frequency. Anyway. I think they are nice looking and OK speakers especially for the price. But the sound is too harsh and you can hear the cabinets especially in the low midrange. I love the channel and your reviews @Andrew Robinson.

I have the 803's for 2 week now. They are amazing!

Excellent review for the everyman! Love this. So much better than those pretentious audiophile channels that speak gibbrish. We all have to start somewhere!

I use and Love “Pure Direct” settings on my AV receiver! :)

A fellow Shaun of The Dead fan I see! I love the Edgar Wright/Simon Pegg/Nick Frost movies.

I'm actually still using my "first" real home theater set up. Pioneer Elite VSX-50, Paradigm Monitor 11 Series 7 for my L&R, Polk Monitors for Center & Rear, and a Paradigm PW-2200 12" Sub. I know it's kind of a hodge podge of components, but it treats me well. I'm one of those crazies who uses it for everything. I love the connectivity it has. HTPC, Xbox One, Pioneer Blu-Ray player, and a Pioneer PL-707 turntable. I love that it works perfectly with my iOS devices. USB that is iPod enabled. It even has AirPlay and I can control it from an app on my phone. Don't get me wrong, a good 2 channel system is nice, but this thing does it all and very well in my opinion. I love my B&O system, but the Pioneer and Paradigm is better to my ears.

I got the Jamo Center channel in the Concert series this week love it.

I was about to buy the 803 book shelves to replace my blown 2 front Energy take 5 speakers when I stumbled on the whole system for $200. So I installed the whole Jamo S803 home cinema system and moved my 2 undamaged take 5 high up front for Atmos duty. Refurbed Onkyo 737 $300 (bought in 15) Jamo HT in a box $200 Polk PSW505 sub $185 2 Energy take 5 speakers from my old system repurposed for Atmos duty Not a bad budget system, plenty enough for the living room and enough to upset the neighbors

Great review as usual. I'd love to see you review the RSL CG3 speaker line. I've gotten into them and for the price they are excellent.

QOTD: back in 1999-2000 I worked at Beat Buy in the home theater department. I put together a sweet little 5.0 system for my bedroom (I lived at home and was in college). Yamaha separates and processor with a 25” Sony trinitron standard def TV. Loved it.

Great review Andrew - thank your sir! Random question: At The 4:40 break, what music/artist do you have playing in the background??

I hung 34 blackout drapery panels around my 14.5' W x 19' L room. Very minimal reflections. I have a 7.2.4 system. Yamaha RX-Z11 receiver. One sub & one transducer in my seating platform riser. In three years I will be moving on from that to a 7.2.6 Dolby Atmos system. With a bigger screen *8K*. I have Wharfedale Valdus 400 as my 2 channel setup.

Thats a crazy nice quality looking speaker set for 240.00 bucks current price...of course ,how they sound is subjective but for the price, definitely something for budget buyers to consider

I use a 90's Jamo Center 200. Magic!

Agree with you 100%. These are some of the nicest looking finishing touches we've yet to come across.

By far, you are the one person I like to listen to when it comes to knowledge of music and surround sound systems. I had a set of infinity bookshelf speakers who were suffering the wife effects. (Too large, the black color doesn't match the living room, etc. I came across your review of the Jamo s803 speakers set, and I purchased the set plus two s10 subwoofer. Thank you. I am extremely happy with these speakers. I don't know how such inexpensive speakers can produce such great sound. I am in the process of getting the atmos speakers. Hopefully, they will be as good as the others. Could you please let me know the best crossover frequency for these speakers. So far, they have been able to sound better at a crossover level 65. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with those of us who don't know much about it. Juan Jose Acosta PS: If you ever come to South Florida, please let us know so that we can have a couple of drinks.

Andrew, just starting watching your stuff over the holiday 2021 season. I'm down in Round Rock. Just a quick confirmation...would the Definitive Pro Center 1000 be better enough to buy it for $25 in place of the S 81 that's coming to me in the mail tomorrow? The Definitive specs seems to be so? Thank you.

Thanks for another great review. That is great bang for your buck in the USA. Unfortunately Amazon US does not ship these to Australia. Amazon Australia can supply the same system for $1960.29!!! I fell off my chair when I saw the price difference. Someone at Amazon is laughing 'till they wet their pants. Keep up the great work Andrew.

I personally think to buy the parts separately and replace the S81 center with the S83, and then add a sub-woofer, in this case Jamo J10 or if I can find an Emotiva SE8 here that would be awesome and a Denon X540bt 5 channel receiver. Perfect set up. The price obviously goes up a bit but I think it will worth it. Oh and this whole set up is 1420 USD here in my country with the S83 Center, Jamo sub and the Denon receiver. Exclude the receiver and the extra sub-woofer and stick with the S803 HTS only, u are still looking at 620 USD here unfortunately. But still, try to buy only a pair of, let's say, the cheapest SVS towers here; get ready to pay 1540 USD just for those! God bless u Jamo :)

Just bought this for my sister as her first Home Theater Speaker package... Not bad for $220, thanks for the info !!!

Voices sound clearer and Im not continuously having to raise the volume up and down on movies like before. I have to be honest though the 7.1 and 5.1 setups I've had have never really impressed me that much. It's all just a bunch of extra BS. I did take about an hour placing the two main speakers (using music) to get a good center soundstage. I pulled them away from the back wall about 18 inches and toed them inward little by little until everything sounded right.

Great review Andrew. Really liked the camera work. MUST.. NOT.. SPEND.....

I just adore you Andrew.

First off, I’d like to say that I really enjoy the presentation and delivery of your videos. Your dialogue is enjoyable and entertaining, unlike some of the other reviewers of home theater and audio systems. I am dipping my toe into the word of home theater, and thanks to you I’ve pulled the trigger on a 75” Hisense H8G. I would like to have a true surround sound with a receiver and sub, but I am also on a budget. I’ve read so many positive reviews about the nakamichi 7.2.4 and 9.2.4 soundbars that come with dual subs and rear speakers. Have you any experience with them? Would love for you to review it if you could, and I’m looking to your review of the Hisense H9G this month. Thank you for your time and effort creating this content. You’ve gained a subscriber.

this home theater speaker system looks good for the price. i would’ve picked it up for under $200, if i was trying to put a home theater system together at an affordable price.

Great! 🙌🏻 Dali spektor 1 vs Jamo s803. which do you think is better for a small room?

Going from 2.1 bare bones Polk Audio setup to 5.1 Jamos, the 1 being the 10in sub from Polk and I can't wait to put it all together.

Great video, glad to hear you will be doing additional home theater content. I noticed you haven’t mentioned Yamaha AVRs in your comments. I’d love to hear your thoughts on YPAO. I’m considering Yamaha because their music cast system allows me to add wireless surround speakers.

Hi, what a wonderful review, design of these one’s are great, but could you give me a reference please, I would like to know in terms of sound quality comparing vs Yamaha NS-P350BL, should I add the surround speakers or I can switch to these ones? , thank you in advance

You weren't kidding about the boxy sound out of the center channel. I was really surprised by how pronounced it was even compared to the tiny rear channel speakers. I expected it to sound maybe even slightly better than the L/R channels given the extra size (the larger driver might be smaller but there's two of them). I think the issue isn't the size rather the symmetry of the center channel. Try this: Stand the center channel up on its side and you'll be surprised to find the boxy sound almost disappears. I wonder if the issue is due to the fact that they put two of the larger drivers in plane causing interference patterns due to how far apart they are. I wonder if simply disconnecting one of the larger drivers alleviates the problem.

I love my Jamo S 626 speakers, not enough people make the side firing woofer design. I'm a 4 channel stereo man myself, good way to get a little of both worlds, the Jamo 620 rears i got had too much bass response and annoyed me when I had music really loud, I got a couple of woofers for them that only respond down to about 85Hz and now I have the perfect system IMO movies, music, whatever. Stuff recorded behind the mic still sounds like it's coming from the back, or from the front if recorded from the front, it kind of just creates what I refer to as a complete stereo sound field.

Great review! I wish it covered the s81 vs s83!

So I have 2 cheap systems. 1'st is my main viewing platform in the living room which is Samsung 65' Q70R combined with an old Sony RHT G-900 speaker/stand system. These are now cheap as chips and kick ass, well below your asking price. 2'nd is my PC setup in the kitchen. A 32' Samsung screen with a Yamaha YSP-800 Soundbar + Cheap sub. I love both these system's and they sound amazing. Maybe second hand could be the way to go for some.

No worries Andrew. I live in Ireland so, unfortunately, these deals (or any others you highlight) don’t apply to me. Love your videos though 👍

Honorable mention too would be the Klipsch reference theater pack for about $400 which is another small form factor speaker setup with a sub.

I considered that one too, but the design of the S803 system was just too good to pass up.

@@andrewrobinsonreviews Agreed, the Jamo's are a handsome package. (That's what she said)

Thank you. I would also like to purchase this 5.0 JAMO. The only doubt I have from listening to you, is to prefer the s83 center over s81 in the package. Reading you also confirmed that by replacing the center unit you had a good improvement. Can you confirm that the highs and mid-highs are crystal clear and make the dialogues heard very well? for the bass I have a very good subwoofer so I prefer to have for the other speakers clear dialogues. I would also like to match the two atmos speakers to complete. then do you recommend this replacement of the center unit and then it's ok? thank you.

Interesting system. Would really like if you would do a Dolby atmos 3.1.2 system.

Got the Jamo S801 powered speakers and I agree, they don't have much bass but are clean in the mids and upper ranges. Will get the 808 subwoofer at some point but overall the design is super nice and they are a really good value to improve sounds, especially in comparison to most sound bars in it's range.

Thanks for sharing!

I got a pair of q-acoustics 2020i that were discounted because they had a cosmetic flaw and a vintage 1981 kenwood amp. Total damage: 135€. Stereo.

I was always curious about Jamo systems. Last year I rented a house fully equipped and it had a 5.1 Jamo System and I was curious about it but I never figured out how it was connected so I never tried it. It sure looked nice. It was the first time I came around the Jamo brand.

Paradigms, Titans for R/L, CC-150 Center, ADP-100 surrounds, and PDR-10 sub. Bought new in 1996 and used until a few years ago when the sub blew. I decided at that point that o was tired of the black ash boxes in my living room and of all the wires and interconnects and complexity of the receiver (read an AVR manual lately?). Went to a Sony HT-NT5 soundbar/sub for simplicity. I’m fine with it as I’m now concentrating more on a 2 channel system, and don’t have the budget for both.

I can totally relate. Thanks for sharing!

Hey Andrew, I was wondering at time stamp 11:12, what are those hangings? And where I can purchase them, I'm in a room and not able to put up stands. So I want to put them on my wall.

I have a logitech z906 system, originally bought for my music setup when I still lived at home. When I moved away I needed a decent surround sound system because the one I had was getting a lot of static sound. So I said okay, let's try it. Put this cheaper system on my tv and was I suprised. Cheap but such great sound, and the sub gives some amazing bass. Yoou really don't have to go expensive to have great sound.

I have 2 sets of these. White in my living room and black in my home theater. Love them love them love them. They kick and sound bars ass every day of the week. I’ve been trying to tell every budget buyer to get them. I use the bigger center channel in my theater.

Very good review as always but i have a Philips 5.1 Home Cinema System that i bought years ago for £149 in England and .that's with the Dvd player.600 Watts RMS.That's what i call great value for money.

Energy Take Classics 5.1 HTiB is/was my first! Looking to upgrade pieces soon.

Mr Robinson you got a thing for Jamo, if I get them for this price they sure are going to sound great,but only at this price.they are power hungry. I have to invest in a powerful receiver.thank you for this great review.regards from mauritius

Love the videos!! do you know when you will be able to next get this system?? I live in Australia and the cheapest i can find the 803 hcs system for is $2,000 aud
