Affected by what? Sorry if I'm not connecting something here.


I meant how Jamo will be affected as a brand by new management from design/marketing/cost/quality perspective. Klipsch already killed off one speaker brand that they acquired - Athena. They also own Energy.

Hopefully they won't interfere much and recognize the strong brand identity Jamo has in many countries.

Oh, gotcha. Well I hope you enjoy your new speakers.

Really enjoying these Jamos in my office right now... surprising how little power they need to sound good... 2x 17 Watts is all they're getting at the moment and they sound brilliant... loving the fact that I don't have to use a sub to hear good bass.

Personally, I think it's more about the listener getting accustomed to the sound of his new speakers than it is about actual noticeable change in sound. Again, that's just my opinion. Others will tell you otherwise.


I'd say they'll sound better after they're broken in but enjoy listening to them in the meantime, and they will still sound good when breaking in. If it was me, I wouldn't leave them breaking in when I wasn't at home or not in the room.
