Jamo S 807 Floorstanding Speakers (Pair)

I test and review speakers on my website Erins Audio Corner. I recently purchased these hoping to find a diamond in the rough. What I found was a rough to listen to speaker.Jamo's site states:"The 1” soft dome tweeter provides smooth, refined high frequencies, with two 5” polyfiber woofers for balanced, cinematic low end. The integrated WaveGuide focuses the high frequency sound for dynamic, true-to-life reproduction..."None of these are true.The treble is as much as +6dB higher than the midrange. The bass is not as low as you would think a pair of ported 5" woofers would get you because, instead of attaining extension, they chose to go for a high-Q peak near 80Hz to give it a punchy sound. But that punch is it. Additionally, the distortion and compression these woofers suffer at higher output (>95dB @ 11 feet away) is very audible and limits the output.I would avoid buying these. There are better options. These are the worst speakers I have tested to date. Personally, I would recommend purchasing a small set of bookshelf speakers and a subwoofer and forget about these entirely.
