[@jeremymerry7967]

still being sold on amazon but for 300 im thinking of getting them

[@ramonbmovies]

By the way, towers are phenomenal. The bass is excellent...very clear and defined. The bass design emphasizes quality over boomyness. You won't get extreme bass like in car audio. Still, mid bass is excellent, midrange is great, treble is nice. They seem to have a slight dip in the midrange. Soundstage is ok at low volumes. At high volumes, sound stage expands and they fill the room. It's fantastic. The towers are really designed for home theater at mid- to high-volumes in large rooms. That center channel is clear, but it really has to be pointed directly at you; if it's not you lose a lot of power and clarity. I have them set up in a large living room. For the new Blade Runner 2049, the towers and center channel are amazing. Electronic music is great. Classical music is great.

Ive been watching this channel for a few years now (early days I think). If someone told me the wrong speaker model I would have been talking back to the screen. However, with CAM, I was just like ("oh he means the C91 since I can tell from the speaker size"). It's just easier to go with the flow with CAM since he is so laid back and I need that...part of my therapy to be honest lol. I know this is an older video, but I also know that many watch the same videos several times. The only problem is that I tend to agree with this guy and now have a cheap audio addiction to add to my keyboard addiction. Own: Jamo C91II, Polk S15, and my Sony CSS5s (my top pick for shorter sessions since I haven't upgraded the cross over and they can be fatiguing after a while.

How do 2 center channels , standing on ends and used as L/R stereo pair , sound vs using the C93s?? More dynamics and focus perhaps??

Perfect amount of “alrights and Ok’s”. I wouldn’t dare joke about something like that,,, perfect amount. ps I just got in the new emotiva ta-1. I like it. I had to boost the bass and treble a little for my gr research mtm encores, not a big deal just seems a little heavy on the mid to me. Gets a lot louder then I though they would, you were right about that. I think one day I’ll end up getting a new dac and sub, but I’m pretty happy with it now.

[@unbornchiken]

Hi Randy and community! I'm considering the c9 ii series from Jamo. I'm having a hard time deciding between the towers (c97ii) or the smaller speakers (c93ii). Do I even need the towers if already have a SW (SVS SB1000) that 'should' compliment good enough the front speaker setup? Help!

[@st.thomas5802]

You don't need towers but at $400 a pair I think the C95 towers are the way to go. And just about every speaker setup needs a subwoofer and you have an excellent one. They have a bigger, fulleer sound, don't require stands and are an incredible deal. Then grab a set of C91s for surround.

[@unbornchiken]

@@st.thomas5802 thanks Thomas, I ended up buying the c93ii ($250 @ Crutchfield) and C9 CENii ($80 @ woot!) for CLR and the C91ii for surround and high fronts ($139 each pair @ Amazon).

I bought these Jamo C93II after being a Wharfedale D220 fan. I always boosted the D220`s slightly in the bass and treble a bit but I loved there natural and super realistic sounding mid range for instruments. I have subs if I need more low. I hated all the other U curved speakers like Audio Bronze in specific, but when I heard these it was instant they were just like what I EQ`d the diamonds to. I still love the D220`s greatly but these after a few months have become the main speakers I use I can leave them Eq`d at 12 o clock. The Jamo`s sounded horrible on some recordings at first very non forgiving and stellar on good recordings but it has evened out after some break in and they sound great on most everything now. I`m more than pleased with these Jamo speakers.

[@RobertSpiller]

Do they need subs?

[@bklynhubby]

Hi Randy. I'm considering the C 93ii (by the way, Crutchfield has scratch and dents for $264), but you mentioned that they are 6 ohm nominal. I would need to match them to a 6 ohm amp/receiver, right? Does it matter? Can you suggest some? Thank you!

[@Mark-ix8rz]

I was intrigued by all the positive reviews so I got a pair of the 93 II's. After 3 weeks with these and I'm not impressed. With the "scooped" missing mids. It was like the Emperors new cloths. I was supposed to pretended the missing mids didn't matter. They do. These are missing so much of what makes for a rich musical experience. Clinical and sterile covers their sound. The one thing that stood out as good was the highs. The sparkle and sustain are excellent. The bass while anemic didn't sound bad there just wasn't enough. A sub helped and is necessary but a sub isn't mids. The Sony SS-CS5 is a better near field listening experience and my pair of vintage bookshelf Canton Karat 300's from 1987 kick the snot of both and sound better than the $3000 Kef Q950's that I was glad to see go out the door. The Jamo's are on their way back. Love your videos but the Jamos didn't work for me

[@sidesup8286]

If I had my drothers (DROTHERS ?), I would want a frequency response that really makes electric guitar be emphasized a little more and really growl. But I would know if I had that kind of response, when I'd play something acoustical or occasionally something classical, the harmonic overtone structure would likely be messed up. Most people picture frequencies wrong. Any frequency is made up of overtones (much higher in frequency) and undertones (much lower in frequency). It's the summing of these different frequencies that make a voice or note sound like whatever frequency it sounds like. If you don't have a relatively flat frequency response, acoustical instruments are not going to sound just right. Especially noticeable on acoustic guitars, flute,violins, and if there are peaks in the response certain piano notes will jump out at you with a thin sound with too much energy and it can sound harsh and not correct. Harshness is always "not correct" with acoustic instruments. Better not to stray too far from flat response if acoustic music especially, is on your menu. Having two different system or speakers which compliment either rock music and acoustic music is not a bad idea. It's not like us guys are really strict or something, we just know what is best for us on a wide range of music. If your sound is ultra transparent, those electric guitars will really be highly resolved and growl without any tricks of emphasis.

[@sidesup8286]

@@cheapaudiomanRandy, I have done a lot of experimenting with equalizers. I have a purist system now and wouldn't dare put anything extta in the signal path. You pay a price in transparency especially, and the degradation that an extra interconnect imposes on the sound. I have my frequency response where I like it. I am lucky to have a 9 foot ceiling for image height and the ability of the height to gel. It is an amazing learning thing (and fun) to at least once in your life, experiment with equalizers. I am sometimes tempted to try a Carver Sonic Hologram device. I once had the Carver C4000 which had a built in Sonic Hologram switch. You really had to live with it to appreciate what it did. Hi Fi News & Record Review (best one in the U.K..) said they thought there was more difference between Sonic Holography and regular stereo than between stereo and mono. Might be a bit of an overstatement, but the focus and depth were amazing; you couldn't listen without it. The C9 Sonic Hologram outboard device is better at width than the enhanced width "and depth" of the one in the C4000. Unfortunately the C4000 wasn't the ultimate for purity and refinement, but it was really fun. The Jamo's sound like fun speakers that many people would enjoy.

If a speaker that measures flat (ie it delivers the music as it was recorded) is boring aren’t you really saying the recording is boring? If the recording is exciting won’t a “flat” speaker deliver an exciting sound? Doesn’t a bright speaker just deliver more of what your musical taste prefers? Sort of an audio version of double stuffed Oreos.

[@cheapaudioman]

Flat speakers are rarely truly flat and depending on what the listening levels are, a flat speaker at 80db will sound much different when it's at 90db. I should have done a better job of explaining. General statement which I should have explained better and not all "flat" speakers sound the same. It was simply an explanation that we shouldn't be ashamed of liking a speaker that doesn't "measure" well

[@TylerStout]

@@cheapaudioman Sounds like you're describing Equal Loudness Contour curves aka Fletcher Munson curves. IMO that's an issue with all speakers to varying extents depending on frequency response which is why some AVRs have a loudness compensation such as Dynamic EQ on Denon/Marantz or YPAO Volume on Yamaha.

@@cheapaudioman Couldnt agree more with you last comment. Audiowise we like what we like measurements be damned. But still if a speaker that reproduces a recording accurately can sound boring doesnt that imply the recording is boring. PS you go out of your way in your explanations to make them relatable to the aversge guy. You made your point cleatly and i didn't read it otherwise. In a fifferent review ( A Fluance iirc) you described a kinda "boring" speaker but that really meant the tone was easier to modify to suit the music and it was something of an advantage.

Speakers do not reflect the lower price. Maybe the vendor sold out.

The C93ii would be good to compare to the KLH Albany II.

[@cheapaudioman]

Had the KLH’s in and they don’t make near the bass

[@nc3419]

@@cheapaudioman OK. I thought the mids and top end would have been worth comparing if someone were using a sub given they are about the same price. Enjoy.

KLH had very good top end. So good option.

@@leo11877 and Voxx International owns Klipsch, several other audio companies, and now Onkyo too...The more these companies get consolidated under a clueless investment group the less "audiophile" their offerings and what they do offer will be more geared for mass appeal being sold in Best Buy to people who think an iPhone sounds good. Oh well. That's life in the world of 2021 with nearly all manufacturing being done by a few companies in communist China...The lowest common denominator wins. Ugh...
