John

You're absolutely right, why didn't I think of that?

Maybe, I should buy a pair of these while I am hiding in the doghouse.

They are real speakers. Most probably, they have full-range drivers.

I assumed they were, but it's kind of creepy at the same time.

My S 506 HCS3 System comes today.

Looking forward to comparing the S 506 to my E 680's.

Very nice set-up. With a sub, the E660's would be great for HT use. What are your thoughts on the center? I managed to find one on eBay, but it was a different finish than the rest of my speakers so I passed. I also thought it would be a little underpowered (and it was a little over-priced imo).

I woudl have preferred the center to be the same watt range as the florstanding speaker. but they didn't have any other models and at the time i couldn't find any other jamo center speakers with the same enclosures to match as well as good prices. So i went with it.

It seems to be fine to me, but then i am not the best with audio either so i wouldn't know if its good or not compared to other speakers.

Well the E6CEN.5 is the center that was designed for the E-6 series, so it will be the best match for the 660's. Besides using a 660 as your center of course.

Incredible pics of your Jamo's.Havent seen them before the pics you posted.

Now I Must Say I Am Very,Very Impressed with their looks.

[BigAl87]

Truly amzing speakers to say the Least I beleive the towers also have an 8 inch woofer on the side I have auditionned those speaker on a HK and wow I was amazed by them Aren't these Danish?

Yes I know Owned by Klipsch! one of the many speaker companies they baught like my Energys.

Anyways Very impressed to say the least

[callas01]

Jwilly, I personally like the looks of the 5 series better, but let me ask you which has the better sound?

PS, yes they are Danish.

[browndk26]

I'm not sure about mixing the S and the E series together, I personally heard the S60 CEN with a set of S 606 and the combo is beatiful. In home theater we preferable pick a center channel identical to the fronts or at least the same family not just same brand as from one model to naother the sound could be quite different. I suggest you serach the net over trying to find the E 6 CEN matching center and get yourself a pair E 660 for 69$ each from WWStereo.

Any Jamo owners on this thread has heard that mix of E 660 and S 60 CEN?

[Jwilly019]

Finally some more action in this thread! Now if only it could match the Polk thread.

Thank you, I really liked the look of the rounded cabinets on the E 6 series. The Dark Apple finish looks really good too.

Thanks again. The S 506's do not have a woofer on the side, but the S 606 does. From what I was able to find on the internet, the S 506 package that I have is the European equivalent to the S 606 package offered in the US. With the sole exception of the added woofer to the S 606.

They are great speakers and yes, they are Danish. And unless I am mistaken, they are the number one speaker manufacturer in Europe. In addition to Energy and Jamo, Klipsch also owns Mirage.

I like the look of the E series a little more as they aren't your typical, rectangular cabinet. Plus, I'm not a big fan of the reflective/shiny (can't think of the proper term right now) surface of the S series.

Sound wise though they are pretty similar. Both are warm sounding (as are all Jamo speakers), I've listened to both towers for hours with music with no fatigue. I've yet to really crank the S series yet as my fronts though. The dual 8" woofers of the E 680 produce more bass than the S 506, but I think the bass is tighter with the 506. I also was using floor spikes with the S series, so that might have played a part in it too.

I'll try to get a movie in tomorrow with the 506's up front and I'll let you know more afterward.

I've heard the 660's before and they are a wonderful speaker. Not as good as the 680, but still great sounding. The tweeter and midrange are the same, but the 660 is ten pounds lighter. If you're using a sub, the difference will be less noticeable though.

I have the S 500CEN, which according to a spec sheet I tracked down (as well as the manual that came with it) is identical to the S 60CEN. If there is a timbre difference between the two, I can't hear it. They sound very good together.

Also, wwstereo can order E 680's in Dark Apple. They take about two weeks to come in, but it is a beautiful finish. They can (or at least used to be able to) get the S 60CEN in Dark Apple too.

There has been one or two E 6CEN.5's that have came up on eBay in the last month, but they seemed overpriced to me. Plus, with only 50 watts, it seems kind of underpowered to me as well. Here are the specs for it. I do like the look of the E 6CEN.5 more than the S 60CEN though.

See my quick review above for my thoughts on using the S 60CEN with the E series.

Please could somebody help me on this one!
I have purchased a pair of the 'Jamo Power 160' for £10 (around $17) off a friend. the speaker foam on both of them is rotted, and i need to buy some more and i dont know the correct size and type to buy, i am a complete newbie to any speaker repair at all!
I wondered if anybody had ANY information on these speakers?
Many Thanks
