Jamo Compact 70
I recently pick-up a pair of Jamo Compact 70 speakers to use as a pair of test speakers. I just wanted a cheap pair of speaker from Craigslist ($20) that if I damage would not matter; but these speakers sound pretty good! Information is very limited on these speakers from Denmark: -3db 48 to 20 000 hertz, ported 6" woofer and 1" waveguide loaded tweeter. Pretty cool little speakers that seem pretty rugged, and I'll be a little sad if they ever break when using them as test transducers.

I think what makes them decent speakers is they don't try to do anything they are not. They are small monitors that don't try to have big bass or go too loud. A big surprise for $20 and I'd be interested in listening to other Jamo speakers in the future.

Older Jamos were ubiquitous in NYC when I lived there in the '80s-early '90s--the choice of many small stores and boutiques. And most were quite good. Not sure what's happened since. But yours look like they've been around for a while.
Enjoy!
