At first I was a little disappointed in the Monolith C5's, but after I let them break in for around 25-30 hours, they now sound really good. It’s reliable, it’s very clear, it has an incredible amount of articulation, but it is not free of coloration.

From the opening bars of The Night Belongs To Mona, it’s obvious that the S 803 does things a little differently. These speakers actually can take the volume, which means if you need something small that can fill a big room with a lot of sounds, these can do it pretty well. Aside from that, the high-Q resonance in the midbass at ~100Hz will need to be pulled down with a filter that I am not sure can be remedied with a standard room-correction software/EQ. I picked up the S803 HCS set which includes the s81, s803, and s801, as well as the atmos module for 399.

That little bit of tipped up detail and the 803 HCS system has that to give and lends just a little bit of a certain kind of sharpness to dialogue, which helps or aids in dialogue coming through just a little bit more clearly.

I looking to upgrade to an amp or integrated amp because I feel these produce better sound a lower listing levels. Sound Power Directivity Index (SPDI): In this standard the SPDI is defined as the difference between the listening window curve and the sound power curve. Very natural in the way they interact with the amplifiers producing a very good soundstage with clarity.No matter what finish it’s in, black, white, or walnut, all three of which, in my humble opinion, are gorgeous. The new Jamo Studio 8 series has been reimagined to live seamlessly in modern, premium environments.

The Jamo S 803 rear panel hosts two sets of connectors, the top one is for use with the optional S8 ATM Dolby Atmos Module height channel speakers, the bottom set for the S 803. Featuring WaveGuide technology that delivers dynamic, powerful sound - Jamo home theatres deliver cinematic performance with a contemporary, elegant aesthetic. The S 803s speakers projected a huge, room-filling sound of the spacecraft's creaking metal, beeping controls and the astronauts' breathing.

Finally, if the spouse needs something pretty and you can’t go with something from Ascend, Elac, HSU, etc (sorry), these fit the bill.

If you own these speakers and are thinking “dude, you’re wrong, these are great” then I encourage you to find speakers that have a more neutral character to them and give an honest attempt at demoing both side by side. Contemporary materials and finishes, such as wood grains, matte vinyl finishes and magnetic acoustic linen grids, accentuate the clean, minimalist lines of these beautiful speakers. It is the weighted rms average of all 70 measurements, with individual measurements weighted according to the portion of the spherical surface that they represent. Boz Scaggs is a comparatively easy ride, too, the slightly larger-than-life production held in check by the Jamo’s natural incisiveness and precision. I think so, there are black rubber feet, i did not peel it but when i put a neodymium magnet it sticks to the rubber feet covering something metal, screws possibly.

I would consider something like the Jamo S 803 HCS because it does gravitate just a little bit more to the forward side in the upper mid-range and treble region, which favors clarity in dialogue.In terms of high frequencies, I have found this to be true with pretty much every Jamo speaker that I have heard, including Jama’s higher-end concert series. So even if the speakers aren’t pointed directly at your ears, you can still move around, and the sweet spot remains.
