Jamo Oriel Floorstanding Loudspeakers Jamo Oriel Floorstanding Speakers Bought new at Audio Connection Well looked after. Can be single, biwired or triwired. Condition: Very Good Payment Method: EFT Region/State: (NSW) New South Wales/Australia By B D C 2 Comments AUD $8,500 Date: September 10, 20241 yr
Against your own recent-comp set, this is massively above market: A$8,500 versus a median A$114 and even well past the A$151 75th percentile. On that basis, it’s not a fair-price used buy; it’s an extreme outlier and would need a very unusual justification to make sense.
The upside here is only if this is a genuinely special piece: pristine cosmetics, fully serviced, complete with original packaging, matching pairs, and some collector-level rarity or provenance. If it’s just a normal used example, the number is far beyond what enthusiasts would consider rational, so I’d want very hard proof of what’s included and why it’s priced like that before going any further.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
