Who has recently messed around with Jamo speakers?

Hello all,
Just curious as I keep seeing them around at prices that are very low. Do they suck or are they a great value for the money? I haven't heard Jamo's in decades. The newer designs look really nice.

    This is an interesting one that a former Polk Audio engineer pointed out to me. They are powered monitors. Notice that one has a port on front and the other doesn't. Both have rear slot ports. Only one has has the amplifier. I assume the front port on one is to compensate for one having the amp. Seems like that be quite a challenge.

    That front port might be heat release? Not sure why one would have one and not the other. Never have I sen that before.
    I just like the look of the Jamo line. I think they are really nice looking entry level speakers. Seems like a good line to get your feet wet .

    I got this Jamo sub woofer to add to a Zvox soundbar that has a sub out on it in our bedroom.I wanted it because it fits perfect in tight spaces.

    It fit perfect in the corner by the bed. I was not expecting much never heard of Jamo before but the price was right it fit in a place where other subs wouldn't. Cruthfield had it to me in a couple of days and this little Jamo shakes the room I'm happy with it.
