Anyone heard (about) Jamo D130?

[red]

Hello,

I have a friend that wants to buy a pair of loudspeakers but we have no information about them. Their called Jamo D130 and look like this (see attachment). The owner says that their 80 watts RMS.

My question is: have any of you guys listen to them? Ever heard about them? because on google we found nothing...

Thanks.

Ok, these are thin chipboard boxes 9/12mm?, with cheap drivers, only a single capacitor to protect the mid and tweeter. Hiding behind the grille diffuser(the best bit) is a really nasty little tweeter. 80 watts RMS is very ambitious, more like 20-30 watts, The boxes are badly rear ported to give a lively(boomy) monotone drone. At the front, the speakers have really nice PLASTIC rings covering the thin pressed steel baskets. I think they were sold by low end catalogue stores and dodgy "hifi" shops. My younger brother owned and destroyed some many moons ago...



I would pay about two dollars max(pick your currency)if they were as new, for the bass drivers and diffusers only...... then burn the cabinets, smash the tweeters with hammer or similar, chew the capacitors, let the cats wear the mids as a hats, frisbee the plastic rings to the dog, sell the nanowires of copper used internally for scrap and mark the occasion with a ceremonial burn out of the woofers in a long tube at 20Hz with an amcron 5000

Find a good pair of full range single cone speakers and put them in a properly tuned reflex, horn or transmission line. Lots on this forum about that and its really very simple. I bet you do a better job than jamo....


Job done.


Hope that helps.

Thank you for your reply.

I had no knowledge about the speakers and the general idea in Romania is that these kind of large old speakers are very good...

My friend having no info about decided not to buy them...
