Jamo D500 LCR LCR Home Theatre Speakers I’ve upgraded my home theater to Procella speakers so it’s time to say goodbye to my set of seven Jamo D500. After spending quite a premium for the Procella, I must admit they are better but not $15k better! I’ve used these in a 7.2.4 system driven by an Anthem MRX-1200. These were on LCR and surrounds duty. The asking price is for the 7 speakers. All the speakers present as new. They’ve been installed in a dedicated, dark, smoke free, home theater. The first time one of these was exposed to sunlight is when I took it out to take the picture. As it did
A$3,100 is on the rich side for used D500 LCRs. New/retail references in the market put these around A$400–A$500 each, and even a full seven-speaker set would usually be expected to land meaningfully below this unless it’s exceptionally complete and pristine. So at this asking price, it reads as ambitious rather than a clear buy, especially if it’s only a 7-piece package without stands, grills, or factory boxes.
That said, the D500 LCR is a genuinely strong home-theater speaker: THX-tuned, sealed, compact, and excellent for dialogue clarity and front-stage matching. If the set is truly like-new, original-owner, and includes all seven with cosmetic perfection, there’s some value in the convenience of a matched package. But for A$3,100 I’d want proof of condition and completeness, because the pricing leaves little room for age-related depreciation.

Jamo traces its roots to 1968 in the small Danish village of Glingor, northern Jutland, where carpenter Preben Jakobsen and his partner Mortensen launched the brand from a modest workshop. Named from the founders' surnames, Jamo quickly expanded, building its first factory by 1970 and debuting at the 1973 IFA exhibition. Danish design principles—emphasizing simplicity, elegance, and precision engineering—propelled it from humble beginnings to Europe's largest speaker manufacturer, blending Scandinavian aesthetics with breakthrough audio technologies.
The brand has long specialized in loudspeakers, from iconic hi-fi models to pioneering home theater systems, earning a milestone as the first in the EMEA region to achieve THX certification in 1991 with its THX ONE setup. While speakers remain its hallmark, Jamo's portfolio has evolved to encompass high-fidelity systems, connected solutions, and lifestyle products, always prioritizing performance-driven sound.
Positioned as a mid-tier powerhouse with premium aspirations, Jamo dominated the European market through the 1990s and 2000s under various ownerships, including Klipsch, before a 2024 acquisition by Chinese firms Cinemaster and Rayleigh Lab. This revival honors its Nordic heritage—retaining some Danish production—while modernizing for today's audiophiles, appealing to discerning buyers seeking value-packed, stylish hi-fi without ultra-high-end prices.
