The J 10 (cube) is rated for 150W RMS / 300W max, it has a rear port and a frequency response of 31-120hz. Nothing to write home about, but for a $125 sub, these are solid specs.
The S 810 (skinny) is rated for 75W / 150W, has a down facing slot port and a frequency response of 36-180hz. This is better than most similarly shaped subs you'd get with a soundbar, but clearly lower performance than the J 10. But it looks nice.
I'd suspect both of these will be adequate for home theater in most living rooms. If space and aesthetics are a concern, consider the S810. Otherwise the J 10 is the better of the two.
On the other hand, the J 10 is a black cube subwoofer. Who cares if it matches your other speakers? There are lots of good black cubes out there for $100-$200.

Ouch. I was planning on driving an hour to pick up a pair of B&W 684 towers for $300 but with the price on those Jamo S 809 being $70 cheaper brand new, I'm really torn. Anyone have any advice for me with this conundrum? I'm welcome to suggestions and feedback
I need a new pair of surround speakers but the 801 is anything but compact. Not sure how they can call it that when they have a 4" driver in a case bigger than most bookshelf's with 5"

I can't speak to the B&Ws, but I couldn't be happier with my S 809s. It doesn't hurt that I have them running off my Marantz 1060, but then again, so were the parade of speakers I went through before settling on these.
If it helps, I like a flat/neutral frequency response (think Sony MDR-7506 over Beats and other craptastic basshead cans in headphone terms) and then minimal tweaking to taste.
I got this deal last time and consider them an absolute steal.

For atmos, I have no idea, I'm more of a music, headphone guy who uses the Infinity r162's for a nearfield/desktop setup.

Keep in mind they both have there own levels of quality(audiophile world) also.
Either way these are entry level(budget) speakers in both genres and depending who you ask even more so on the music side.
