E 7

Want to know what they are? Technology, Craftsmanship and Design. Three simple but all important words that make a world of difference. We wield the most advanced technologies to deliver sonic satisfaction in packages that are designed and built to the highest possible standards. Pick up, examine and - most importantly - listen to any Jamo product and you’ll find ample evidence of all those values… we guarantee it.

If you need further proof just look at the rave reviews flooding in for the E 7 series. Introduced last Autumn the first range of Jamo speakers to feature DTT - Decoupled Tweeter Technology (comprising five models - the E 700 bookshelf, E 750 and E 770 floorstanders, E 7CEN centre and E 7SUB subwoofer) triumphantly announced its arrival by instantly winning the EISA award for Home Theater Loudspeaker 2004-2005.

Not a bad start you’ll agree… the good news is that the praise has kept on coming, proving that we deliver on our promises.

Australian magazine Best Buys Home Theater certainly saw the worth of the DTT technology pioneered in the Jamo E 7 series when they tested the E 770PDD (2 x E 770 as front, 2 x E 700 as surround, 1 x E 7CEN as centre, 1 x E 7SUB as subwoofer) system last year. Were they impressed? You betcha…

“Frankly, we weren’t expecting the relatively simple act of decoupling the tweeters from the cabinet to have such a dramatic effect on the sound quality. The high frequency reproduction is far more cleanly delineated, so that all highs are sharper and crisper. We also noted an increase in ‘air’ around the highs

Jamo’s ‘mix and match’ approach to using tonally identical speakers has been impressing us for years but now, with the new decoupled tweeter, the sound quality has moved from impressive to knock-out”

They weren’t the only ones who thought so. When specialist UK magazine Essential Home Cinema checked out the E 700PDD (4 x E 700 as front and surround, 1 x E 7CEN as centre, 1 x E 7SUB as subwoofer) it was left in no doubt that we’d hit the bullseye with a system that punched way beyond its weight.

“This is a very powerful system. The little E 700s do a magnificent job of handling serious levels of volume without cracking up….The E 7SUB is capable of pounding out the sort of bass that thumps you in the chest and lets you really get into an action movie.

That’s not to say that this is an unsubtle system, however. It’s capable of real delicacy where necessary and takes DVD-Audio tracks into another dimension compared to many similarly sized systems out there.”

Their conclusion? “A tremendous package for those looking for powerful home cinema sound.” Oh, and a 5-star rating…

EHC’s telling comment on the system’s ability to convey subtle detail, as well as more obvious material, was echoed by UK AV title What Video & TV when it reviewed the same package

“Crank that amp up and the little E 700s just shrug and get on with the job, pumping out a remarkably controlled and powerful sound. Subtlety is not sacrificed either. Quiet passages can be conveyed with a delicate touch and effects are steered seamlessly.”

“A Best Buy badge cannot be denied to a system that belies its size as emphatically as this Jamo package.” Which is exactly what they gave it, along with a 5-star rating (are you seeing a pattern here?)

Listeners in different markets often have differing views on what constitutes a good sounding product but the E 700PDD gathered identical plaudits from French title HomeCineDVD…

"It sounds silky-smooth, balanced and fulsome. That’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear this superb Jamo Package. This system stands out by sounding both colourful yet subtle."

But don’t walk away with the impression that the E 7 series is just a fantastic home cinema product… this range is designed to excel musically too, as evinced by respected UK title Hi-Fi Choice’s findings on the E 700 bookshelf speaker.

“The stereo imaging is superb for a speaker of this price, with rock solid positioning and amazing width of sound. When bass and scale are less important, such as with acoustic music, you’ll also find exquisite resolution and focus.

“Rhythmical, composed, and thoroughly involving,” was their final verdict on our tiny marvel before they awarded it an 89 per cent rating for value.

They say that you can’t please everybody all of the time but the Jamo E 7 series comes as close to achieving that goal in its sector as is possible. A beautifully built, technologically advanced and comprehensive speaker solution that sings beautifully, has an innate passion for the dramatic and is eminently affordable into the bargain.

Technology, craftsmanship and design - you can take them for granted when you put your faith in a Jamo product. You’ve just read the proof…
