Is Jamo’s C97 II loudspeaker the best budget hifi and home theater speaker? It may not be perfect, but this tower speaker might just have enough high end audio performance to make even audiophiles happy. Jamo C97 II are a great addition to the perfect home theater setup. These tower speakers will fit right in with any audiophile’s HiFi system. Those on a more modest budget will not be disappointed in these beautifully designed loudspeakers.

I have a pair of q acoustics 2020i’s and I think that you should check out q acoustics, they make great speakers from £100 to around £6000
Lewis Williams We will be reviewing Q in the near future. Thank you for watching!
The Fluance Signature towers are my pick they are phenomenal for the $799 per pair price tag (and even more impressive if you score a amazon warehouse deal. Best set of towers I've heard both used a new for the cost.
Emotiva Airmotiv series. My Primary setup has Revel F208's. Extremely linear measuring, wide dispersion, fantastic sounding speakers. My secondary setup I rotate speakers pretty regularly. The Emotiva T1's have been the most surprising to me for their modest asking price. I actually have been using the T1's through the majority of the quarantine, and that's saying something!
I have a pair of the Onkyo SKF 4800’s. I think that for the $300 price tag they are amazing. Very warm sounding with plenty of bass. Steve Guttenberg, the Audiophiliac himself reviewed them in 2013 for CNET. I don’t feel they get enough love. The matching center and surround speakers are unfortunately not sold in the US.
I just love how you're "a recovering audiophile". I've been clean for the better part of ten years, and it has saved me so much money, time, pointless tinkering and nonsensical worries!
I'm a dirty as %$#@!! I'm a full-on junkie!!
My wife loves listening to your videos as much as I love watching them. It’s the voice!! As always great job in explaining the ins and outs of audio.
Wow, thank you!
Just upgraded to the c97 II from pioneer sp-fs51. I got goosebumps on the very first song. Thank you for this review. I have been looking for a new set of floor-standers and was suffering from severe information overload. Love these speakers, for 800 for the pair I am completely satisfied. Thank you!
Thanks for this review, you helped me find the perfect budget setup for my house. A year later I still use them daily.
Glad I could help!
Danish Jamo has been one of my favourites since I was born. Even the vintage ones out of the 1970's I bought back in Europe were also timeless.
Here in Denmark, Jamo was always concidered to be cheap junk - the speakers for those who didn't care about audio. But that's many years ago.
I didn't know they even existed anymore, or that they even made great speakers.
No offense, so don't take this personally ;) , but...... I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work!
You had me in the first half not gonna lie. 😉
@@KristiWright Lol
Had me going there! Thanks for watching!
Any time you hear "no offense" prepare to be offended.
@@chriseaton2730 💯
Great work Andrew. Highly entertaining and I think one of, if not the best channel for audio tech related gear on UA-cam!
Thank you so much.
Really enjoyed this one. Your production quality is so much better than the other audio channels out there.
Wow, thanks!
"I can't actually hear the words that are coming out of my mouth."
You are the goodest dude, bro. Thank you.
I've been using the Jamo S606 for some time now, and i'm still very happy with them!
That's AWESOME!
Your videos are really helpful! You actually give the projects a fair chance
Thanks so much!
I'm on a quest to build a home theater system on a budget. These speakers for $1,000 is perfect! Problem is that they are now $689 each 😞. Same thing happened with the Pioneers I was looking at. You reviewed them at $99 each, and when I go look them up to buy them the price had increased to $179.99 each. It looks like the products you give very high praise to gets the price bumped up due to an increase in sales. Your reviews affect the industry my friend. I'm not complaining, well maybe I am a little lol. Keep it up brother!
Hey Andrew, well the C97's were discounted here in Australia at $1700, based on your review i bought them without hearing them and man i am happy, really happy. THANK YOU!
Hey mate, where can you find them with that prce? I know clef hifi but it has damage.
After reading your review of the C97 II's, I had to get some. When I first hooked them up, I thought this was a mistake but they were sounding good within a few hours. That was the best $525 I have ever spent on audio equipment(Woot). I now have a C9 Cent ii on the way. Keep up the good reviews.
Love your videos about sound systems and how you explained you'll are awesome👍
The Polk Audio Signature S60 would have been a perfect comparison. I’d like to see an A/B comparison of the two speakers.
I have the Polk S60s and they are flawless for the price, sturdy build, sound quality surprisingly good midrange ..took a chance & very happy, too many reviews starts to make one dizzy.....
Great review! Always happy to hear reviews of full range floor standing speakers.
Thanks for watching!
What a coincidence, I just had these delivered today! So far I'm having a lot of fun with them. They really surprised me!
That’s awesome! What made you decide to pick them up?
@@KristiWright I watched Zero Fidelity's review on the c93ii and Z Reviews review on the c91ii. Decided to give the 97's a try to replace my pioneer fs52's. Big improvement!
Thanks to this review, I was looking for a new speaker to upgrade from my 10 year old Jamo C-807's to the next level. Your Monitor audio Silver comparison is bang on. Not having the ability to audition due to where i live, I wanted to retain Jamo's concert series signature sound plus take it to the next level. I ended in ordering the Monitor audio Gold 300 5g, and it does just that. Couldn't be more happier.
Thanks for the excellent review! I bought a pair of these and it's little brother the C93 ii quite recently. The current sales price is amazing - they're well worth their original price and at over 50% off, they're a steal.
Glad I could help!
They must have had that sale going on for a long time. I just bought mine for the same sale price. I got the c97, c93, and the matching center. I couldn't be happier.
Andrew, thanks… I’ve never researched a topic more than the components for my new home theater room! You’re channel has been incredibly helpful and I can finally say everything is on order.
Epson LS12000 (against your advise vs. the Samsung QN900 85”)
Onkyo RZ50
Jamo Concert series
Can’t wait to get them installed!
Have fun!
Legit looking at this same setup (though with the Sony X95K in 85"). Would love to know how you like the setup once it's all in! Torn between the Jamos and the Q Acoustics 3000i series. The wife approval factor on both are pretty high with how good both of these speakers series look.
@@davebennett9638 I’ll let you know
As a new subscriber I must say I really enjoy your presentation style Andrew. Smooth, relaxed, knowledgeable and all without 5 infuriating jump cuts per sentence! I'm just wondering if you could expand on 5:40 a little. I always thought the idea of Hi *Fi* was to get as close to the artist's vision as possible, i.e. reproduce the master tape faithfully. Hi *fidelity* - being *true* to the master. The fact designers introduce their own sound seems to fly in the face of this. I'd love to hear your thoughts if you have time : - )
I recently purchased a pair of these Jamo’s and I have not been disappointed. They replaced my beloved 43 year old original Advent Loudspeakers, which are still working great. But difference between the old and new speakers is quite noticeable. Voices have more immediacy and live performances now sound “live”, as opposed to sounding like recordings of live performances. Bass IS improved if the towers can be placed in corners of the room. As Andrew says, the Jamo’s will play well with all levels of amplifiers, but where they really shine is making budget and/or mid range equipment sound better!
The orange throw with the little cushion on the living room chair is an awesome design color touch for the room to who pays attention...
Great review. You got a new subscriber. I picked up a pair of Jamo E800 from the thrift shop on a whim for $15 & those convinced me & I have been a fan of Jamo ever since. The one word that comes to mind is - Clarity.
Thank you for sharing! And I would agree with you on the clarity front.
Yes! Floorstanding versus bookshelves! I've been debating recently whether it's really necessary for me to continue to use my floorstanding Paradigms, or if I should move to a set of bookshelf speakers now that I've significantly upgraded my subwoofer setup. All my speakers are set to "small" with an 80 Hz crossover anyway!
Thanks for another excellent review!! I really love the way these speakers look and you can’t beat that price.
Couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching.
Great review, again. Love this channel. The best.
Omg the stuff at the very end was awesome
Thanks Andrew. Your review has given me sleepless nights. After buying the Klipsch: I watched your review, and immediately regretted my decision. Dammmmn. They are every bit as good as you say, and the comparison to Monitor Silver series, is well justified. Love your reviews.
Yay already hit 52k. Huge fan. Another review that I watched right through and enjoyed, of a product that I would not buy. Compliments
I’m go glad I bought these last year they have been amazing even if I haven’t used them in a while they look amazing sitting there
I got me some Jamo S 626 speakers and I absolutely love them. The S 622 speakers paired as rear channels is a massive upgrade for my room. honestly I feel like that audiolab 8300A amp I mentioned really made the high end sound better on my jamo speakers and those look like the same tweeters, and it packs so much punch in the base on the 8" side firing woofers. I love the side firing woofer design, it's hard to find I feel like.
The old saying - "if you can't beat them buy them"! Klipsch did just that!!
They bought a good one!
I’ve been a fan of Jamo for a couple of years and I think they are a hidden gem here in the US. I have the C97s which have the same specs just different color schemes. And this review articulates perfectly how I feel about my pair. When I was shopping, my budget was $2000. When it was all said and done, I kept coming back to these which cost me $500 for the pair. Been very happy. Both for Music and Movies. The only thing I don’t agree with is that, I really don’t feel the need for sub. But it can’t hurt to have it.
Same with my Jamo Classic 10's. Absolutely no need for a subwoofer. These giants are more or less "full tone" speakers.
Correct😂
I had been wondering about these. They look super cool.
I have old jamo speakers from when they were made in Denmark, I will probably still stick to jamo once they are worn out. I have the concert 11
Just received a pair. Definitely a nice budget floor stander. Not broken in yet but it's been a fun speaker so far. I thought these were going to be fatiguing like the studio line's tweeters. This was definitely not the case in my experience. And the bass, while not the most defined is definitely there. It extends quite well for the dual six's which was a surprise. It's definitely a colored sound but relaxed. They sound better with the grills off but when they are on I compensate with a touch of treble. The soundstage is nice and wide as well. I also purchased the C9 center channel and it blends well with panning and timbre. I think these will be great for an everyday home theater/music experience. I do recommend getting them away from the wall. In my house the bass tends to get a little thick but every room has its own effect. That being said I think anyone would enjoy these. And the price I got them for through Slickdeals and Adorama was quite the steal. Thanks Andrew for exposing these Jamo towers to the masses
Thanks for the quick review. Ordered mine through the same place, awesome deal. Did you also get the center speaker? I hope to get mine in next week.
I bought the C97-II in 2021 after watching Andrew's review & paired it up with Audiolab 6000a recommended by Tarun (Kristi said the Audiolab can un-suck most speakers, I tend to agree). The Audiolab amp produced full range, seamless, coherent, presence sound as Andrew mentioned. In addition, the bass extension is improved. The treble can be sibilant only if the recording is that way, otherwise the silk dome tweeter is revealing. So, no more chasing down a rabbit hole for a while. Still keeping my old Boston CR8 and Yamaha RXV385 receiver in other room.
Excelent review !!! Congratulations from Argentina.
Thanks for the review. As it's asked in the video, why not doing the Focal Chora 826? Comparison to these Jamos as well as the bookshelf ones would be really interesting.
Great video brother. I have always liked the look of Jamo speakers as well.
Another great vid Andrew!! Anybody remember "Vivid" loudspeakers? They saturated my country cable channels with TV ads back in the mid 80's. Their slogan was "Vivid...Blows the competition away" The guy in the ads sounded like a british dracula. Lmao.
My first ht speakers are the jamo s809 and they are pretty good. The s803 is still one of my favorite bookshelves. Very good review!
Thanks so much! Appreciate you watching!
Ooooh a new Andrew video.. something I’ll fall In love with and find out mid video that I can’t afford it... but still watch anyway.
I think you'll find plenty of affordable options in this video. Thanks for watching!
Andrew Robinson always. Recently discovered your channel. So much quality content!
Hi! First of all, I new on the channel and I have to say that it's really amazing! I just started to study about home theaters, and your channel is an awesome source of knowledge, and more importantly than that: you explain in a way that people with no background can understand - you guys are doing a great job.
I have a question about a combination with the C97 II. Would it be a good idea to assemble a 5.1 home theater based on the following items:
- C97's loudspeakers
- C9 CEN II Center speaker
- C 9 SUR II Surrounds
- Dolby Atmos ATM 50
- One C 910 SUB Subwoofer
- Sony STR-DN1080
Maybe this could even be an idea for a full-fledged video 😁
Thanks and keep up with the amazing work!
Two reasons I subscribed 1. Your Outtakes are brilliant 2. Your voice sounds SOOO good out of my Studio monitors, (ALl True!)....P.S I would love to know what Mic you use
So kind of you! You'll find the mic here - bit.ly/ARFilmKit
So they sound as good as they look impressive stuff. Don't remember seeing you this enthusiastic before.
It doesn't happen often, but you can obviously really tell when I'm into something. These are just fun, enjoyable speakers!
Thank you for your excellent review of the JAMO C97ii. Since you have lived with this speaker for a while I would very much like to know your impression of the C95ii and how the two floorstanders compare. I find your reviews smart and practical. That’s why I would particularly value your comparison.
I have the Concert C95iis. What do you want to know?
i have a C 97 II with marantz SR6013 i really enjoy the sound
I'm in search for something better and I'm struggling. Martin Logan motion 60s, Maybe Tekton double impacts, etc but all are Tripple the price.
I like the new " Title Card ". These are really great looking speakers in all the color options. Even though the grills look great. I would call them throw away's (wouldn't actually throw them out).
Thank you very much Andrew for your review. I have been watching your videos for a long time, and also I have just found out about this series of Jamo.
Personally I have some experience with an older model of this brand, and you described exactly my experience with my old ones, and you were listening to the new ones. Your description is exactly like my experience, the only difference being made by the mids driver, which in my case was from a 2.5way floorstanding with bigger drivers compared to the new model. It's absolutely incredible, INCREDIBLE sound and I can tell you it's comparable with a higher end models of speakers in my home.
Thank you again, Andrew!
And keep up the good work.
Hi Andrew! When i got my first (and only untill this day...) pair of floorstanding speakers, i was aiming for the JAMO C95, and they seemed really nice. I ended up getting the WHARFEDALE D 330, and though i beleive that they're not that easy to drive, you might want to take a look at those (they're entry level, nothing fancy...) Take care.
Thanks for a proper review! Comparing with equals may be more enlightening.
Ok so by reading all the reviews of the smaller ones and then watching your video, I just ordered a pair of the Dark Apple ones. Thanks alot Andrew lol!!! Great vid.
Good choice! Have fun with them!
@@andrewrobinsonreviews It will be interesting to compare the differences from Klipsch 8000F towers I just sold..
Brian Arnold , how they sound ? Should I opt for them ? (on Marantz SR5013)
Hi Andrew. Its a geat channel you got. I would love for you to dive into a discussion about KEF´s UNIQ road compared to other conventional speaker configurations. Why does not more speaker companies try to get a "single point source" array. Are there too many drawbacks and tough design issues? One thing I also would love to hear a discussion about is the use of side-firing or even backfiring woofer configurations such as the BLADE I/II and Verity speakers.
Can you compare the Jamo C97 ii vs Klipsch RP 6000f’s? I’m look to but them for my HT/music setup
I just pulled the trigger and bought a pair. I plan on biwiring them. Do you know how the channels will split power on the speakers?
Like your reviews and they are so detailed. Im new to hi fi and after so many reviews I'm now confused what to buy for 2000$ speakers+av receiver. Even somebody told me to buy Tannoy platinum f6 speakers....help me and save me some time please 😅😅😫 keep up great work from you and your wife. Best regards from Croatia
Andrew, have these speakers stood the test of time? Would you still recommend them?
Great review, thinking of checking those after selling my old Dali 808. But few speakers to check that are on my radar Focal Chora 826, Martin Logan esl and motion 40i
Thanks for the outakes, they were worth a good chuckle.
I'd love to see your take on some dipole speakers. Maybe something like the Magnepan LRS (don't think I've seen those on your channel). Keep up the great work, I love your more down to earth take on hifi.
Noted! I was a Maggie owner for years so I'm familiar with their sound. Will have to reach out to them and see what we can work out!
When speaking of playing loud, my A-S1100 is set to show watt used when playing, and my speakers are 97dB/watt
which means that i rarely play over 1 watt on my amp, and that is for me - very loud, almost too loud.
I've always taken great care of protecting my hearing because 1, i love music, and 2, once you lose hearing, it never comes back.
I bought these puppies and I love them. Just wondering what subwoofer works best with it?
Reply to your Q.T.D. : the Kef R300's & Elac Uni-Fi bookshelf's are my Giant Killers especially when paired with a quality sealed sub. They are very impressive. Martin Logan's Ascent (electrostatic) are my favorite speakers tho.
Bought Focal chorus 716 and I realy like them (sound and build quality). Now wondering if Jamo would sound better on my NAD M10. Your thoughts maybe?
I hope that tweeter is a little more refined than the one in my c809 - it's a bit messy/"grainy" at almost any volume. I actually added a coating to the rear side of the dome, and it helped calm that down a little. Sounds more soft like a Dynaudio now.
Hi Andrew I'm a fan and it's pleasure to always watch you talk. Yor choice of words, honesty and eloquence is yet to be matched. Thanks for Sharing the knowledge. My question is, ported speaker vs passive radiator speaker, which one do you think will sound better or lets say output. Thanks
They both have their pros and cons. I think ported speakers are still more common so you’re likely to see more of them or have more to choose from. Which is best lies with the speaker design/designer and your personal tastes.
Hi Andrew, love ur videos. Which budget active tower speakers would u recommend?
Hello. Are these preferable to the Jamo S809?
We have TDL Saturn 10s which I’m told are very good for their price point. Sadly no longer available but they come up on eBay every so often, usually for more than we paid for ours!
Hi Andrew & Christie. i watch this channel on a regular basis with great joy, as you not only reviewing gear, but also talks of the esthetic and looks on various components, and the many ways to set-up a system (thumbs up). The acknowledge of feels & looks, when we talking HI-FI is often understated? Who doesen't love the feel of a nice volume knob, or the nice finish on a speaker design? It all matters in the end, and i'm pretty sure this counts for all of us? But after you implemented the fairly new rack in your livingroom, i wonder if the length of the rack is limiting you, in terms of speaker placement and space between the speakers? If you wanted to put a pair of speakers closer to each other, don't you then have a problem? Me myself use to have a pretty long rack, and found it to be a problem with various speaker set-up, as i couldn't always get the right distance between them? So it's just an observation over time, i would like you to address :-) Cheers from Denmark (stay safe).
Gotta admit they are the best looking speakers ive ever seen from jamo
They're pretty for sure!
You love everything you review.
Because I do my research beforehand and don’t want to waste hours/days/weeks evaluating garbage and then spend days telling you it’s garbage, just so we can both have garbage experience.
@@andrewrobinsonreviews OK, fair enough, but it would be good to see reviews of not so good stuff too so people know what to stay away from.
I understand that logic, but it's hard enough talking about EVERYTHING folks want anyone, let alone myself, to cover that it just doesn't make a lot of sense to waste even one video diving into crap. Moreover, I'm not always in love with everything, see my Polk Audio L800 review. I wasn't that speaker's biggest fan.
Can you please advise or do a video on Jamo C97 II vs Klipsch Reference Series R-8000F vs VS Q Acoustic 5.0 Plus Package: Concept 40 Floorstanding, 20 Bookshelf, Center Channel Speakers.
Hi Andrew, thanks for a good review. I am looking to replace my existing tower speakers. You think the C97 would pair well with RX A780 amp?
Really wish I could tell ya but Yamaha is playing hard to get with me.
On the offchance that someone competent can answer ... i am looking ay those Jamo C97s and Yamaha NS-777 for fronts. Which one is better (price/money) and overall better sounding?
I really dig their design. My Elac Unfi sound great but they’re ugly, so something that looks great and sounds decent has huge appeal.
@AndrewRobinson How do this compare to the Klipsch RP8000f?
What do you recommend between KLIPSCH R-28F and Jamo S809? I can find them at approximately same price but I’m not sure what do get
Hello Andrew, with your experience. What floor speakers are good to with avr850 Arcam
Use my Old JAMO 680 and say can change anything except those Floorstanding speakers ❤️
I'm a DIY speaker builder, but I've always been curious about the Wharfdale Diamond 11.4 and 11.5s. Any chance you might get to check those out?
I watch your videos, same videos, repeatedly.
After Yu6 review which i loved as have one. I learnt that its the minimum you have to pay to get the best sound.. so this video brought me here to see whats the same for towers and if their needed or not knowing bookshelf can cover that need
The Fluance SIgnature Series Towers are hands down the best buget speakers of all time. They have the looks, size, soundstage and swagger to go with the big boys. I would really like to see you review these.
Hi Andrew....if you choose, which would you choose..
Jamo C97Ii
Triangle BR08
Q Accoustics 3050i
Amp is m5si
Ty
Andrew, Thanks for the excellent review! My old, inexpensive system (I think my speaker is KEF iQ7, with a Denon AVR 3805 receiver) lack of the imaging and definition. Will the C97 a good upgrade? How does it compare with KEF LS50 + sub? Will a Emotiva BasX PT-100/A-300 pair a good match with it? (or I would need the Technics SU-G700 that you like :)
Jamo C series is amazing. They sound much more expensive than they are
Thanks for the video. Are they miles better than the C95 ii? I can get my hands on a pair C95 on sale. The c97 is out of my budget.
What are the odds? My jamo c95 speaker system from Adorama just came in today. Waiting on my receiver. It will be my first HT system. Bought blind as not many videos about this line on YT. Thanks. Super excited.
How did you like them?
How would you compare these to the KEF Q550s?
Really good review as always!! Watching your videos from France 🇫🇷. Such a perfect appreciation doesn't really exist here... Would you test the brand " Elipson " in America 🇺🇸 ? Such a real esthetic and legendary good sounding loud speakers 🔊!!! Thanks again for the quality and objectivity of your videos 📹 !!!
YOU ~ ROCK ! !
Hey Austin, what would you say are the key differences between these Jamo C97 II speakers vs. the Jamo S809?
I have the S809 hcs 5.1 system and Concert c95ii speakers. Both are great but the Concert seems to be of a higher quality and better sound. I paired both with a Yamaha 7.2 AV receiver.
I did purchase these based off of your review for music and everyday TV. I must say these sound much better than my JBL 580s to the point Im considering getting rid of them in my main theater. Thanks!
And by the way...I got both speakers and the matching center for just around $1000. New.
@Jimmy, That is awesome! I am so happy that you are happy. Be well!

You are talking about the older center that is similar, right? As far as I knew there isn't a matching center for this set.
Andrew thanks for this excellent review I’ve been a fan of Jamo for years and it’s excellent to hear some great coverage on some of their newer products. They truly are excellent loudspeakers. Great review
Thanks! Thank you for watching!
I must agree with you that Jamo does at least take the time to put a little effort (or alot?) on how their speakers look, not just perform. And these do look not just good, but dare I say great? At least compared to other speakers. Two thumbs up to Jamo for that speaker feature.
I have the Jamo C93 II. I got them in October last year and I loved them since day one. But recently I started modding them and they got way better.
I don't understand why Erin says these speakers and Jamo speakers in general are horrible speakers. If they were that horrible they would not sound this good. Very detailed, fast and engaging.
I'm starting to doubt of measurements in general. They don't tell the whole history. There most be something else.
What types of mods did you do?
@@RonWellman1 hi, on the crossover basically I replaced all capacitors with Jantzen Z-Standard(Blue), and added CDE 940 bypass capacitors to the main Tweeter capacitors. And the tweeter resistor value was increased to tame the higher frequencies.
I replaced the enclosure stuffing with a Cotton batting. I added damping material to speaker baskets and tweeter enclosure on the back. And finally added a 2 inches extension to the port.
price is around 800 usd for the pair, its in the specs sheet in the video
