For sale is my pair of Jamo Concert 8 speakers in cherry finish, these are fantastic standmount speakers and are in excellent conditon, these speakers can play any type of music, and are a very fast speaker. The bass is excellent, reminiscent of a floor stander, in fact these speakers perform very much like a floor stander and for the size of them they disappear very easily.

I would prefer colelction from Dudley in the West Midlands as they are heavy, they can also be heard on my hifi system. I also have the original boxes and manual.

I am looking for £495 for them collected, pm me if interested. I would consider sending them out on a courier if need be, a price could be obtained. I will not ship overseas due to the size and weight.

I would also consider swapping them for a dac of similar value such as a Lavry or Benchmark etc, the dac must have balanced inputs

Ive added a few pictures, when I came to take the pics I noticed that there is a slight mark on the back of one of them, never really noticed it before as they have always been in the room facing the front, this is only a slight cosmetic mark and does not effect the performance of the speakers

Yesh, daftee, but did you mean phase plug? ;)

The Jamos are a bargain and worth every penny, so someone snap 'em up!

Quick bump

These are a great speaker and punch well above their weight, a couple of wammers have heard these and have been quite surprised, apparently they also work well with valves

Im open to reasonable offers too!

They have a lot of drive I used to own these years back, my first true high end speakers. At this price well worth a punt

Thank gawd for that :)

The bass is a little fullsome and careful stands and positioning is essential to get the balance right, but the mid and top was lovely as I remember and once set up right, they seemed to do a great disappearing act.

What have you replaced them with?
Lee Henley

Ive replaced them with Audio Physic Yara II Classics, very nice floorstander and good value for money
