> 3 dayUsing these in a 5.1 system through a Marantz 1510. I find the sound to be a bit bassier then I prefer it, but to each his own. The center speaker is also a little muffy at the 2.5 range, which is weird since that exactly what its supposed to be projecting... I had to turn off Audyssey, and do manual EQ, boosting the center speaker up 3db to get clear vocals. Perhaps I just have a dud center speaker, but I found this to be uncharacteristic for a center speaker sold as part of a 5.1 system. With that said, I have no complaints about the rest of the setup, and as affordable as these are vs sound quality, I would buy them again. Perhaps just with a different center speaker.

> 3 dayMaybe some of you are rich bachelors with 5,000 sq/ft mansions, if so go get your $2,000 monster speakers with a $3,000 receiver to match. The rest of us will LOVE this speaker set (paired with a nice $620 Yamaha receiver from Costco). This replaces a 16-year old surround sound system. The back channel speakers are phenomenal and the fronts blow away our movie watching and sports. The center channel was called “too small” in some reviews, but in my 9’ by 13’ sunroom/media room it is perfect and we get to skip the sub-titles now! We like the white cabinets and wood accents so we left the grey grills off. Either look you choose, you won’t be disappointed by the sound of these quality (yet affordable) speakers!

Greater than one weekThis 5 piece speaker set is amazing for the price. It sounds clear, rich, at every sound level I have tried. Music sounds better, movies sound like I am at a movie theater. I am using a Onkyo sub from my previous setup, along with a cheap Sony sub. It still sounds great and I am certain that upgrading to a better sub or subs would just increase the quality I am looking at speakers stands for the front S803s as they are not at the optimal height. “Z” reviews and cheapaudioman on YouTube are the reviews that inspired me to get these. Watch them or check out the other reviews on YouTube

> 3 daySpeakers sound amazing and look great. I added some banana plugs to some wire so I could cut to size. Connected to an Onkyo receiver. Really impressed for the price. Definitely will want to get a sub to go with it. Had trouble finding a stand for the left side surround sound speaker but it still sounds good on the end table. They are heavy so you will need sturdy support.

> 3 dayThese 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.

> 3 dayIve been waiting a long as time and never thought the WHITE would be available in America until now! I sold my main bookshelves which were 2X the price to replace with these stunning 5 piece Jamos. The 803 and center are used for theatre and music streaming while the smaller are for stereo vintage receiver playing gud ol vinyl. The smaller pair doesnt sound that great, just gud enough. Some say the vinyl is not high quality and thats fair...but why would you handle them roughly? As a sum of its parts, these are not only beautiful, but sounds much higher than the low price! Movies and musics both sounds impressive, but not audiophile quality to be clear! But for casual enthusiasts who appreciate quality sounds but are on a budget, these are highly recommended! While producing nice bass, I also use a JBL 12 300W sub all caibrated powered by Pioneer Elite VSX LX-503 AVR. Also, I can alway re-vinyl if needed in the future. 2 Thumbs Up from me!

> 3 dayGreat sound quality. In fact, its better than I can percieve.. Beautiful piece of art as well. My only complaint is they missed the boat on the base. Its a picture of wood wrapped around something. Super lame. Over all this is what Ive been looking for and would have paid more for a real wood base.

> 3 daythe little 801s are decent, a bit better overall than the Klipsch 41s. they are obviously lacking a little base, but overall sound quality is clean. i will be using them as rear surrounds at some point, but as computer monitors, they are excellent. the center channel i am not needing so cannot comment but no doubt also sounds good. the 803s are on the wall either side of my tv and are front ported, running off amazon cables and an onkyo, very clean but when running heavily dynamic tracks, they sound a smidge muffled only due to the wall placement. if on stands, they image and sound very good.
