Jamo’s A 355 (floor-standing) and A 325 (wall-mounted) speakers take up little space.
Jamo US Inc.
The Danes have always had a knack for creating ultrastylish home furnishings, and Danish speaker giant Jamo is no exception. For its A 3 family of home theater speakers, Jamo wanted to achieve maximum WAF (wife acceptance factor). So the company enlisted the services of renowned female design team Smedegaard and Weiss, who lent a feminine touch. Available in two systems, the A 325PDD, which uses the same A 325 speaker for the front and surround channels, and the A 355PDD, with its larger A 355 front speakers, the A 3s can be used without grilles for a silver, high-tech look, or with black grilles for a more discreet approach. To minimize the overall size of each speaker, Jamo has used small but powerful neodymium magnets that maximize the internal volume of the cabinet. The main speakers can be used with floor stands, or wall-mounted using a bracket that allows the speaker to be tilted up to 30 degrees for optimal dispersion. Even the styling of the included A 3SUB.5 subwoofer was carefully considered, and it too can be wall-mounted if such positioning is desired.
