Jamo R 900 Series | As good as it gets R 909 R 909 THE SOUND OF MUSIC With the Reference R 909, we offer you the opportunity to experience music as it should be heard - live in your living room! This is also the conclusion of numerous tests and reviews from Hi-Fi magazines all over the world. This revolutionary floorstanding loudspeaker employs two massive 380mm/15in woofers, a magnesium midrange driver and a customized Scan Speak Revelator tweeter, all mounted in a 43mm/1.7in thick baffle made of a unique multi-ply construction. The design and drivers used reproduce wonderfully transparent vocals and a response so dynamic that it's hard to believe you're actually listening to a speaker. The exceptionally firm bass, blessed with immense transient speed, precision and fluidity (and absolutely no colouration or reverberation) throughout the frequency range, puts you in the middle of the sound experience. It's truly a sound experience like no other. The R 909 is the perfect match for the highest quality amplifiers on the market. However, with a high sensitivity of 89dB and a very stable load at 4 Ohms, it doesn't need a nuclear power plant to drive it - although it will handle more than 800W of undistorted power if you really want to go there! Special Designed Woofers Since high efficiency and a low moving mass are essential for the specially developed woofers, the cones are made of lightweight air-dried paper with a polyurethane suspension, which allows both fast acceleration and deceleration, endowing the drive unit with great acoustic precision. To increase the bass performance the woofer features a membrane area of 2000cm2/310in2. Highly Advanced Midrange Driver The HCC (Hard Conical Cone) Technology enables the driver to reach 9kHz before any significant cone breakups occur. This makes for extremely low distortion, plus a very open and detailed midrange for optimum voice reproduction. Created from solid brass, the Centre plug has a cooling effect on the voice coil, providing greater power handling capability, and most importantly, extra audio stability when playing at high volume levels. Crystal clear at the top The superior Revelator tweeter features a textile dome that's coated several times, resulting in an incredibly smooth, linear, dynamic and breathtakingly transparent sound. The tweeter's Symmetric Drive technology practically eliminates electrical phase shift and lowers distortion significantly. Finally, there's a double-damped chamber behind the magnet system, equipped with an anti-resonator plug to eliminate turbulence. Great in Every Sense The major challenge in designing the Jamo Reference R 909 has been to create a huge speaker that not only performs perfectly but also looks great. Therefore, this unique threeway speaker is a testament to the immense experience with traditional woodworking skills. The 43mm/1.7in thick baffle is a complex 7-layer lacquered multi-ply construction. The 26kg/57lb cast-iron base houses matt chromated biwiring binding posts that connect directly to the crossover network placed inside the base, thus securing the purest signal path.

REVIEWS GOLDEN EAR AWARD · ABSOLUTE SOUND "This remarkable speaker, which uses dynamic drivers in an open baffle, offers the openness and resistance to room problems of a dipole planar combined with a power, solidity, and bass extension that few planers can even dream of. Coherent, dynamic, extended in the bass (to 27Hz), very low in distortion, and tonally well balanced, the R 909 does a positively spectacular job of reproducing the scope and power of large-scale music."
