2 mooie compacte speakers luidsprekers van het merk jamo model 160.
This €45 ask on these Jamo 160 speakers is a clear bargain, landing at the low end of the typical used market range for comparable listings—where the median sits at €100, 25th percentile at €47, and 75th at €176. For compact floorstanders like these from the early 2000s, that's a steal if they're in decent shape, undercutting even budget-conscious sellers without straying into beater territory.
Before biting, verify the drivers: Jamo 160s often suffer foam surround rot after 20+ years, so test for rattles or distortion at volume. Check the cabinets for veneer cracks or water damage, and confirm both grilles, binding posts, and serial-matched pairs are included—mismatches scream frankenbuild.

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.
