The enclosure is tapered towards the front so that the baffle is slightly narrower than the back panel, which aids rigidity and also dissuades standing waves from bouncing around inside. Jamo S 803 Bookshelf Speakers is Dolby Atmos ready with a metal fastener on top for elevate speaker and separate connection input for height channel speaker. The purpose of this test is to illustrate how much (if at all) the output changes as a speaker’s components temperature increases (i. What the Jamo most assuredly doesn’t have – and this is something of which Paul Hollywood would doubtless approve – is a soggy bottom. It costs you no additional money but does help me earn a small commission which helps me pay for gear to test and other review gear.

The best thing that you can do to improve the performance of these speakers is to get a powered sub woofer to handle the lower frequencies. I know after extended listing to the Monolith C5's, going back to the S803 it sounds very colored and somewhat unnatural. If you want to just fill a room with music and don’t want to get a sub but want a full range sound, these are a good option.The 25mm soft dome tweeter sits in a shallow waveguide, which is finished in a light walnut effect that nicely complements the coarser grain of the wood veneered plinth. Power Handling : 80W / 160W Impedance : 8 Ohm High Frequency Driver : 25mm (1”) Soft Dome Tweeter Low Frequency Driver : 127mm (5”) Polyfiber Woofer Crossover Frequency : 2kHz Speaker Enclosure : MDF Enclosure Type : Bass Reflex via Front Firing Slot Port Inputs : Single Binding Posts (Main / Height) Finish : Black, Walnut, White Dimensions : 353mm x 191mm x 252mm 13.

I picked up the S803 HCS set which includes the s81, s803, and s801, as well as the atmos module for 399. This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees. If you decide to go that route, you put the module on top of the speaker, and you run two cables from the top, binding post to the module, and you’re done.In my main living room, which has hard floors and some rugs, they can sound a bit too bright without any EQ. This form of post processing is offered only as an estimate of what might happen in a domestic living space with carpet on the floor and a “normal” amount of seating, drapes and cabinetry. If you want to put these in a room and just listen to some music for fun, these will do that and make a lot of people happy. On top here, we have a soft dome tweeter that’s housed in a little waveguide or a horn for you pedantic individuals. Unlike any bookshelf speaker, the S 803 Dolby Atmos® ready speaker delivers incredible stereo sound with a patent-pending connection points atop the cabinet for seamless integration of the S 8 ATM topper to deliver the overhead effect of Dolby Atmos.
