Yes, Klipsch bough Jamo a year & a half ago (if I remember right?).
Everything Jamo still originates from Denmark & is European in design. I don't see ANY trickle down effect in either the Jamo or Energy lines. Klipsch did kill the Athena line and have been doing questionable (meaning nothing progressive) things with Mirage, but Energy & Jamo look to be completely on the up-swing & still independant. From what I hear it will stay that way. Klipsch isn't looking to make the other brands "Klipsch". We're not talking about the "Borg" from Star Trek here. They're a business that bought their way into other markets.
In fact, here in the US Jamo/Energy are sold completely different than Klipsch/Mirage. Different management, sales force, etc. They did merge a lot of the warehousing & shipping, which makes sense, but the HQ & tech support for Jamo/Klipsch is still out of Indianapolis. Overall, I think the integration has gone fairly smoothly (after the first year).
The BIG reason Klipsch bought Jamo (the way it was told to me from a very reliable corporate source) is for their European distribution channels.
I'm a dealer of essentially the entire Klipsch family (not a fan boy BY ANY MEANS. I cherry pick the pieces that are best from each brand) as well as about two dozen other speaker comapnies. Klipsch, for the most part, operates very similar to everyone else.
