That's hard to say. Klipsch owns Jamo, but they have their own separate sound. Klipsch supposedly have a very bright sound while Jamo is more neutral. Again, this is just what I learned from a cursory glance at AV forums. There are different lines of Klipsch and Jamo speakers so it's hard to make a direct comparison which is better. Klipsch will almost always come with a price premium because of its reputation, while Jamo is not as well known. FWIW, people have been saying good things about Jamo speakers. They seem like solid values but not high end.
The first time they offered to "upgrade" the device to a slightly newer model for like $180 instead of repairing. It was still a refub unit and I looked on SD and Amazon and they were charging me full refurb price and I lost the original receiver.
Again, maybe a really bad model since it had a lot of other people reporting HDMI board burn-out issues. At this point, it's used for my workstation for music and light gaming since the optical works fine.
I concur about this. Klipsch is very sharp I'd say or bright. Sometimes too much and someone mentioned ear faitgue which can be true if watching back to back movies. Having said that only my center channel is Klipsch and I do love the fact how clear it is.

Klipsch is more into making very efficient reference speakers. That means any frequency input should output the same volume. Some claim they sound bright, but for something like a surround that can be useful since the lower frequencies aren't directional. Room placement can also influence the sound, and I suspect a lot of the complaints stem from that.
As for Jamo, they started as a Danish company. Instead of making reference, they tweak their sound signature to be pleasing to the ears. Elevated highs and lows, which is easier and cheaper to make. To accomplish that, they fall off quickly on the low end. Like a low note will sound fine, then the next note lower might sound half as loud. I haven't heard these towers, but the rest in the kit would do well paired with a good sub. A BIC PL-200 II (currently ~$260 on Amazon) would cover all of your home theater needs, and give those towers some breathing room so they can cover their intended range rather than fighting to dip low.
Jamo.... sounds like a Kmart brand electronics.
How does "apple" sound?
