> 24 hour(After a few hours of burn-in on just two front S 803 speakers only) I find the front set of speakers well balanced and surprisingly full sounding. No apparent distortion upto 100 dB SPL but you get ear fatigue pretty fast at high volume levels, probably due to some frequency spikes or not-so apparent clipping somewhere. For the price, it really is a bargain. Above average imaging/sound stage compared to bigger floor standing speakers IMO and nicely balanced sound signature/tuning make the front set an easy recommend, center and back channel set are nice bonus on top. No wonder these are highly recommended by@cheapaudioman. I would say you will get better resolution, instrument separation, sound stage depth, less fatigue with better set but at a much higher budget, plus much louder volume.

> 24 hourThese speakers sound incredible! They put through a ton of sound with just the bookshelf speakers alone (I havent set up the center or surround speakers yet.) I cant wait to get the whole setup going. They also look incredible and very sleek in the white.

> 24 hourJamo 5.0 for $230? In white? Yes, please! Now to get the atmos speakers when they restock. And add a C 912 subwoofer or two to round out the sound. Paired with a Denon AVR-1611. They sound amazing, the WAF is through the roof, and the price is the most compelling aspect of all...win-win-win Edit - got the atmos speakers. Waiting on RSL Speedwoofers to restock. Currently using a Dayton 12 sub for now. Sounds amazing.

> 24 hourI tested many genres and formats on this set and the sound is pretty damn good. Awesome Clarity, balance, and depth is what I hear when I push these without a sub and play the Phantom Thread soundtrack. Truly a great deal for the quality.

> 24 hourIf youre even slightly interested, and if theyre still half off, just go for it, definitely worth every penny at $230 for the set. The only downside is that they do start to fall apart at high volumes, not the 803s quite so much but the center and especially the surrounds cant handle high spls or any bass at all. For a moderate surround setup its worth it and youre getting a really great pair of speakers in the 803s that are basically worth the $230 on their own. I hooked them up to my onkyo surround receiver and Im pretty impressed with them as a full set, but when I hooked up the 803s to my ps audio sprout 100, it definitely brought out some level of detail and soundstage that I just dont think should come from such a basic pair of speakers. I dont know if Ive even had a chance to fully break them in yet so I assume itll only get better too, good stuff.

> 24 hourThis set is an amazing value. Very happy with how these sound, stage, and image. Ive been an audiophile for 30 years and dont give recommendations lightly. Unless you get a deal in the used market, youd be hard pressed to find better at this price point. Somewhat U shaped sounding but are opening up nicely as they break in. Full and rich. If you listen to jazz, rock or classical. You probably dont need a sub. Bass heavy music, a different story. But these get pretty low and manage to stay in control. Oh and they look like much more expensive speakers. Originally got these for my girl, but Im keeping the 803s for myself....:)

> 24 hourCouldnt decide between the S 803s or the S 801s, so why not both?
