Ratings: Jamo A 7 Speaker System

Build Quality: 93
• Sturdy, well-built cabinets
• Quality fit and finish

Value: 86
• Tough competition at the $5,000-plus level
• Built to last

Features: 90
• Top-shelf aesthetics are a feature people want in their speakers
• Sub lacks crossover bypass

Performance: 90
• The entire A 7 system gets more than it should be able to out of tight cabinet dimensions
• Less harsh and overly aggressive than many aluminum cabinets

Ergonomics: 91
• Relatively small and light for a tower-based system
• Connections could be more flexible and accessible

Overall Rating: 90
The A 7 system will only add to Jamo's reputation for first-class aesthetics. They are beautiful to look at, and they get bigger sound out of their limited cabinet dimensions than many of their plasma-friendly speaker peers.
