Pros and cons

According to our HiFi speaker expert

Because the bass reflex port is on the front, the bass won't distort if the speaker is placed against the wall.
The recommended amplifier power from 20 watts makes the speaker suitable for nearly all amplifiers.
Speaker cables aren't included.

Description

With the Jamo S 803, your favorite movies or music will sound extra rich and clear. This passive bookshelf speaker has a 25mm tweeter and a 127mm woofer. Thanks to the WaveGuide technology you'll get natural sound reproduction. The bass reflex port is on the front, so you can place the speaker against the wall without problems. The bass does not distort. The heavy MDF design is very sturdy, so you won't be bothered by unwanted vibrations. If you want to expand the set with S 8 ATM Dolby Atmos speakers, you can just place them on top of the speaker's connection points.

Very nice sound and design, I think they are fantastic!

nice sound
Beautiful design
Solid
No banana plugs included

First impression: beautiful design and the speakers feel heavy and solid. Both with and without dust cover I find them very beautiful; I still switch regularly because I don't know what I like better yet :-D

I also think the sound is fantastic, you have to be a real audiophile to find anything wrong with this. During the first hours the speakers do indeed have to 'play in' and they sound a bit tinny, but that picks up quickly and after that it is really enjoyable.

In short: the speakers have far exceeded my expectations in every aspect, I think they are fantastic!

Things I wish I had known beforehand:

There are no banana plugs included, but you do need them. So if you only have a speaker cable (like I had) without a plug, I would order that right away. Then you don't have to wait until you have been to the hardware store the next day before you can enjoy your purchase ;-) (like me)
You need (someone with) an electric screwdriver/cordless drill to screw the legs into the wood at the bottom. Apple egg once you figure out what the intention is, but if you want to do that with a hand screwdriver I wish you a lot of strength ;-)

Good speakers that you have to place 20 cm from the wall

nice design
good sound
good price / quality

The sound was disappointing in the beginning, too heavy bass and high tones (see previous review). but by placing the speakers about 20 cm from the wall, they transformed into very good speakers that reproduced a lot of detail in the music. Highly recommended

Nice columns, great speakers

Easy connection and placement
The sound improves significantly after a few hours of immersion
Bass reflex opening at the front
Don't get nervous, speakers have to respond

In the beginning, the highs were ugly and the overall sound was rather flat. After a few hours the sound improves enormously.
