Great prices, at this point I've given up on the white models going on sale!
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.

This is a perfect example on how "specs/measurements" are not very accurate way to finding how something will sound to someone UNLESS you choose to believe it does(which many do)!

IMO all they do is influence their opinion.
I'm willing to gamble had infamouscrunchy "read" that article prior to "listening" to the 809's he may have had a different opinion to how they sounded to him.

I do agree that the important thing is what he thought by "listening" rather than what he could have "read".

Finally caved and picked up the S809s after eyeing them up the last couple times they dropped in price.

How good or bad are the 809's compared to Infinity reference R253?

But the important thing is you found a speaker you like.

I know you weren't being derogatory and yes, the fact that I found something I like is the important thing, but I think it's a step to far to conclude from the article you linked that "the Jamo S800 series doesn't measure flat/neutral"

While I'm sure they share many components, I don't think an article reviewing/measuring the S807s can be accepted as conclusive proof of the sound signature of the S809s, much less the entire 800 series.

I'm no audiophile, but I'm willing to bet that the spectrographs and CEA-2034 Spinorama (whatever that is) readings taken from a speaker with 3 woofers (S809) will be different from those taken with 2 (S807). Now it could very well be that the difference is that they're even less flat/natural. I'm not arguing that. I'm just saying that article does nothing to demonstrate the properties of the S809s, nor would I suddenly stop enjoying them and throw them out if it did.

To me, they sound neither bass-heavy nor shrill with good, solid midrange and never fatiguing. I don't have any diagnostic equipment, just my ears and 45 years of listing to more systems than I can name or even remember. And just like my cans, I've always had a preference for more of a studio monitor sound. The S809s are probably a bit "livelier" than strict monitors, but in a good/pleasing way.

I still highly recommend the S809s, no matter how the S807s performed in a lab 😏

I was extrapolating a bit for the S809 since I have also seen in-room measurements of the S803 by "Joe N Tell" on YouTube and he got results similar to the frequency response for the S807 that Erin measured using the Klippel analyzer. And it was also what I heard with my own ears when I had the S803.

But you're right, I cannot know from those results if the S809 measures flat/neutral or not. But from these results I can only estimate that a flat/neutral response is not what Jamo was even going for with this design. Many customers simply like a boosted bass and treble (v-curve) sound. There's nothing wrong with that. Jamo is owned by Klipsch after all and Klipsch is not exactly known for making neutral/flat sounding speakers. But that is by design.

What matters most is that you like the sound.

The only reason I haven't jumped on these in the past is the adorama shipping horror stories, speakers arriving damaged, etc. Has this gotten any better?

I bought the Jamo S 807 towers and the S 83 center about a year ago from Adorama and couldn't be happier with them. I had a Vizio sound bar beforehand, and these blow that out of the water.

I paired them with a refurbished DENON S540BT from accessories4less.

Does anyone know if it's a hassle and/or cost to ship them back? All this talk of "good vs bad sound" has me spooked.

I'm just looking for something that sounds amazing to me and won't know until I get them set up in my place.

Was just wondering if this place makes it difficult to return?

Btw, I love reading everyone's comments regarding sound etc. Trying to learn as much as I can but at the end of the day... I gotta get an actual feel for what everyone means.

It's one thing to read things like "flat" or "neutral" sounds... but those are just words as of now... gotta start somewhere I suppose!?

Thanks!

Would love to hear comments on how my old set-up would compare to a new Jamo system. I plan on keeping the old sub until I eventually add one of the (entry level) SVS subs.

Again, trying to learn specs but I've been amazed at how "large" and "powerful" my old set up sounds... Thing is, they have seen better days and would like to upgrade... so long as a Jamo setup will rock my apartment, lol...

Thanks guys!
