Jamo S 83 Center Channel Speaker (Black)

I've had this speaker for 24 hours, so it's not even broken in yet, but right from the start the dialog in movies was crisp and articulate, and the bass was fast and tight. I can only assume everything will sound even better once there's a hundred hours or so on this speaker. At $79 the sound quality is stunning, on par with speakers that cost significantly more.I love the look of this speaker. The finish is lovely and the shape is more eye-catching than simply being yet another rectangular block.My only qualm, and it's a minor one, is the little "feet" at the front of the speaker. They look great and do what they need to do but I feel like Jamo missed a golden opportunity here to make these feet height adjustable. The shelf I have to put this on is a little low so if the speaker has to have feet anyway it would've been awesome if you could set the height to angle the speaker a bit. But this isn't a big deal; the majority of people will probably want their speaker to sit flat anyway.So yeah, for the money the speaker has great build quality, looks, and most importantly SOUND!

I am not an expert audiophile whatsoever, however I do believe these do the job I needed them for. I already had the front and rear speakers and wanted the matching center to complete the set. Overall I think these speakers are decent. They put out good sound without distortion, sounding muffled, or too soft. Again I'm not an expert by any means but I have enjoyed them since I bought them. I would give this 4.5 stars only because the one I received had a slightly damaged foot but I kept it due to not being really noticeable. Overall I would recommend this speaker.

Recently upgraded to the Jamo Studio Series from an aging and failing Boston Acoustics mini HTIB. Initially went with S807s and the S81 Cen up front, and S801s out back. Quickly found the S81 Cen just couldn't keep up. Dialog would often get "buzz-y" for lack of a better word. It honestly sounded like something was loose or wasn't mounted correctly, be it driver, grill, binding posts, or something else. However, even on close inspection I could never find anything wrong with it.After a bit more time on forums, reading reviews, etc. I came to the conclusion that I really should have splashed out for the S83 from the jump. Anyway, lesson learned!Okay, enough comparing the two. The S83 Cen is a good performer and keeps up with the s807 mains quite well. While there are moments where dialog could sound more "forward," I only have a few hours on it and imagine once the drivers are "broken in" it'll be that much better.Aesthetically, it has a high WAF and the magnetic grill is a nice touch. Grill off it looks great, too. Oh, and if black cabinets are too "heavy" in your space, the Walnut matches darker furniture well and still recede into the room nicely.All that said, go with the S81 Cen only if you're pairing with the S801 all around. Otherwise, the S83 Cen is easy to recommend given the price, performance, and that it's timbre matched to the rest of the lineup (naturally).

Nice sounding, balanced. Good quality for the price of $80

Delivered faster than expected, and packing condition was good. Sound is better than more expensive ones I had. I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the sound produced by this speaker. The base sound is very good, the mid and high range is excellent. Recommend it to anyone who needs speaker.

Purchased this after my S 81 center channel blew. Always found that dialogue was a bit muffled and hard to hear with the S 81 that I had in my living room. Didnt want to pay a bunch of money to upgrade, but also didnt want to get an ugly center channel speaker. So when I needed a new center channel, I decided on this thinking it would just be the same as the other. This speaker is actually a big improvement. I was able to clearly hear dialogue and it seams to be a much better match to the s 803s than the S 81 was. Wish I made this upgrade earlier

Usually this is where I'd leave a brutal review bashing a product but I have to admit I'm very impressed. I almost dropped a deuce in my pants when I received the s83 in the mail. You could fit 2 cocker spaniels in the box it came in. I assumed it was mostly packing paper or bubble wrap. It wasnt. This things pretty big. I love that they incorporated 2 5 1/4" woofers into the cabinet with that amazing jamo dome tweater. I thought to myself this thing was gonna be overpowering loud given its size but it's actually perfect and well balanced. It blends right in with the rest of my system perfectly.

All the YouTube video reviews for this product were spot on! It's so attractive. Great Craftsmanship. Made watching movies AMAZBALL. And such a great price!!! All around winner. Price/performance/quality bulid...it's all there wrapped up in one great product. I won't be replacing this bad boy without a fight.
