2 mooie compacte speakers luidsprekers van het merk jamo model 160.
# Jamo 160 Speakers – €55
At €55, this asking price sits comfortably below the median of €94 from recent comparable listings, landing near the 25th percentile (€47). It's a solid entry point, though you'll want to confirm these are passive bookshelf or floor-standing models rather than powered units—that distinction matters significantly for value. The Jamo 160 line typically offers decent midrange clarity and acceptable bass for the size, so €55 represents fair-to-good value if condition checks out.
Before committing, verify the drivers haven't loosened or dented, listen for any rattles or distortion across the frequency range, and confirm both tweeters and woofers respond cleanly. Check that binding posts are intact and not corroded. If original packaging, manual, or foam grilles are missing, that's minor but worth factoring into your negotiation. Age is the real unknown here—if these are 15+ years old, capacitor degradation in the crossover may be lurking, so audition them at moderate volumes first to catch any crackling or phase issues.
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.
