Jamo Studio7 Series S7-15B Loudspeakers *ex Demonstration*

This is our ex demonstration pair of S7-15B. They are in good overall condition, bar the marks shown in the picture. I would conservatively rate them at a 7.5 out of 10. They come with the original packaging (etc). They are in the Blue Fjord finish (a dark blue/grey, which is pretty close to what many manufacturers would term Graphite). These speakers have an RRP of £449

Here's what I've written about these before:

Before writing further, I have to explain the model number for this Jamo range, which is not memorable but descriptive of where it sits in the four strong model range. Firstly the S7 stands for Studio 7, and this explains the unusual but pleasing leaned back look for the speaker, as it has a 7 degree lean to the cabinet which helps  time align the centres of the drive units by recessing the soft dome tweeter relative to the mid/woofer, which should improve integration and imaging.

The ‘15’ shows it uses their smallest bass/mid driver in the range with a 15cm diameter. This driver uses a paper cone with embossed pattern that they call ‘Thor’s Hammer’ which helps stiffen the driver whilst keep its mass low. Finally the ‘B’ stands for Bookshelf, although as ever we’d suggest this sort of speaker is actually best used on dedicated speaker stands.

So that’s the boring bit out of the way! I’ll touch on the looks very briefly, but I think they’re something you need to see in the flesh as photographs tend to make them a bit awkward, but in reality they look novel and smart in equal measure, with a clean and contemporary look that reflects the Scandinavian heritage . The finish quality is really quite exceptional too.

Onto the sound, these are easy speakers to like, they sound big and fill small and large (within reason) spaces with ease. There are more transparent speakers around, but this can often be to the Studio 7 benefit as they are forgiving of lesser recordings and equipment, yet still produce an engaging and non fatiguing sound. In use they appear easy to drive, much more so than the specifications would suggest, an indication that they have been well engineered.
