Jamo-804-hometheater.gifThe versatile A 804 from Jamo combines a contemporary design with the remarkable sound that emanates from its bassreflex ported cabinet. And, because it can be mounted both horizontally and vertically, it works 

just as well as a center channel as it does when its used as a front left or right--or even rear surround--speaker.

Housed in a beautiful black leather/high-gloss black enclosure that combines aluminum, steel, and high density polymer, the A 804 is a modest 3.9 inches deep, making it an ideal match for virtually any contemporary flat-panel television.

The A 804 also demonstrates Danish audio design underneath its grille. The .75-inch silk-dome tweeter with Jamo's proprietary WaveGuide technology delivers clean, clear highs, while the 4.5-inch midrange and two 4.5-inch woofers provide stirring midrange and deep, booming bass.

To ensure that the low frequencies carry more punch than typical wall-mounts, the A 804 has flow-optimized dual bassreflex ports.  

Priced at $449 each (U.S. MSRP), the A 804 is scheduled for release next month.
