No, but Jamo is pushing us to sell them. I don't think they do video either.

Their prices on the power supplies and other items are much better as well!

$100 for a 24v power supply that you have to have doesnt sound better to me.

I briefly saw them at CEDIA and the salesrep said that you count the blinks of the talkback LED to determine what you are adjusting, bass, treble, source etc, sounded kinda kludgy. They are listed in the current price book and there is a video module available. A keypad in the works, early 2005, should help with useability.


I also saw the ZON system at the Klipsch booth. Its a similar system but with an LCD display that tells you what you are adjusting, what source is active, built in mic for intercom/paging and IR sensor. Ease of use looked similar to an IPOD. Very nice.

I don't mean to be negative about the Jamo product (I do use their higher end speakers) but they seem to be late starting up with A-Bus while ZON looks to be the next generation. (I know ZON isn't an actual A-Bus product but is very similar to it.)

I know a-bus is kind of basic when compared to some of the other systems out there. ZON is a great system but no video dist.

The ability to do dist 6 sources of Audio and video on a budget is great.

On talk back counting and bass and treble adjusting.....I really do not want my customers to know how to adjust Bass and treble....I make the rooms sound good and match each other, a customer throws it out of whack with bass and treble adjustments which leads to a "all of a sudden" the kitchen sounds terrible....I think the speaker went bad, can't be my fault, come fix it under warranty.
