Jamo New R 907 brings Flagship R 909 to Smaller Package

Jamo New R 907 brings Flagship R 909 to Smaller Package

With the introduction of its flagship dipolar R 909 floorstander over two years ago, Jamo set a new standard for construction and performance in the high-end speaker category. The company plans to build on its success a smaller, more affordable version called the R 907.

Based upon the dipolar principle, meaning the sound from the front of the speaker is out of phase with the sound from the back, the R 907 loads dual 12-inch woofers as opposed to the 15-inch drivers that are featured in the R 909. Overall, the R 907 is approximately 20 percent shorter and 15 percent slimmer than its predecessor. However, its operation is identical in principle. Like its predecessor the R 907’s sound quality is very open and dynamic with extremely low distortion throughout the entire range, a highly-detailed midrange with optimal voice reproduction, and a powerful and punchy bass unmatched by any mass-produced dipolar speaker.

Priced at $8,999 per pair, the Jamo R 907 will be available for purchase through the specialty retail market in February 2008.
