Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $75.00 from New, Miller Brothers

Summary:
Bought these for my first system coupled with a Sony TA-FE330R amp and a Sony XE220 CD player.

Fairly Budget amp and cd player but with decent speakers they sing pretty well.

With the Jamo Studio 160's they did anything but sing. No matter what you played it sounded dog awful.

Super invasive nasty hissy treble, no mid range and lacking amounts of bass given the size of the speaker.

In fact the only way i could get anything like a tune out of these monstrosities was to turn source direct off and add some bass and reduce treble.

Awful, without doubt the worst floorstander made in modern times.

Strengths:
Pretty big MDF cabinet so would burn pretty well.

Go fairly loud if thats all your worried about.

Weaknesses:
Awful thin hissy treble.
Hard to drive.
Low levels of bass.
Midrange sounded narrow.

Just woeful.

Similar Products Used:
Ive used nothing similar to these speakers!

Summary:
THEY SUCK! These speakers are really bad. They need a lot of power to play, have harsh, hissing treble and lack bass.

I can't really think of any strengths.

Need powerful amp.
Harsh, sharp treble.
Lack bass.
