ironwoods Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 I see that Klipcsh is the proud owner of the Danish speaker co. Jamo. I just knew they were up to sumtin'. They seem to have some very nice products, although I've never heard any. Go Klipsch!

SCOOTERDOG Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 I don't know whether to smile or cry. On one hand it is a great business move. On the other what is happening to our company that started in the little town of Hope. Where one man changed the course of audio history. I remember years ago people would tell how good these jamo speakers were and they would run circles around them. Alhough I never bought there story. Move forward to 2005 and we now have a new line called Klipmo. what is my klipsch world coming to scooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did Fred and Judy come to own Klipsch Audio in 1989? Do they rock? Give us some dirt Amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelerFan Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Nothing like getting to see Denmark and being able to charge it to the old Klipsch expense report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dzapper Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Seriously, it gives Klipsch a manufacturing (assembly) base in the EU. That could make Klipsch products competitive in Europe. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scp53 Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 i think Jamo makes some horn loaded speakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenratboy Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Oh no!!! Soft dome tweeters and 5.25" woofers for us!!! Wow, if KLIPSCH OWNS (not the other way around) Jamo, that should mean Klipsch will have access to all of Jamo's technology, manufacturing facilities, engineers (Trey, brushing up on your Danish ), etc. and that could mean some new stuff for Klipsch (maybe the, "wow, why didn't we think of that!" syndrome) Reguardless, Danish drivers are a good thing! Jamo's product line bores me to tears, I fall asleep looking around on their web site. Also, we own a Jamo subwoofer, does that retroactivly mean it is a Klipsch subwoofer now?

IAmtnbikr Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Did anyone else catch the fact they have stores in China? This opens up a potential market....millions of Klipsch-hungry Chinese audiophiles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klipsch has aquired Jamo because the two product lines complement each other in design and sound philosophy. They will not be in direct competition.

dodger Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Neat. Will this mean any upgrading to Jamo at all or more exotic woods becoming available? dodger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyKlipschFan Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Not much I want to do in Denmark, Amsterdam isn't that far though. WOW...

SCOOTERDOG Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I was checking the Jamo webeite and they don't even mention the fact that Klipsch bought them. I would think for Jamo that would be a big positive from a marketing stand point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
