Ok.....this weekend I had been to the Jamo showroom (cinebels) here in blore. This was my second visit...Last time I had been there to check out the E670 and E855 but they were out of stock, then I had seen the E850 which I thought would be very close to E855, but then I didnt like them a lot because they lacked Bass extension to my ears.
But this time both speakers were available for a side-by-side comparo. Man, the E855 though looked lean was easily beating the heavy E670....the soundsatging of E670 was a bit better to my ears but then it could easily boom even in flat settings in many cases while the E855 simply held to its own even when I increased the Bass levels from the amp. The E855 sounded deep and clear with clear mids. High frquency was crispy in both so I have nothing to mention. The guy was using Denon Stereo amps with 75w per channel. I played Hotel California and Dire Straits to audition them.
The price of the speaker is 43250 and the matching Center speaker is 20k
The dealer is quoting 52k for the combo.
Now I have two shortlisted speakers the Kef Q5 (which still rules in my mind) and the Jamo E855.
Now I got to check out Acoustics Portrait also.

I have already auditioned JBLs (their Northridge series), they sounded a bit harsh to my ears and felt more like Party stuff than Home entertainment.....My project is a HT + Stereo Combo, so my primary focus is on Towers first (as my perfect Stereo component), as soon as I am over with that I will look for the matching centers and a AVR, then I would finally add up a Stereo Amp later in the row....For the rears I would use my exsisting Sonodyne Bookshelves for now.

I will be auditioning Acoustics Energy shortly at Prithvi's place; dont know where to audition Monitor audio, Deftechs I know are available with one guy in Blore, got to check out if he has anything for audition or works on Order basis.
Other Brands yet to audition are Dali and Klipsch.
