Dear friends, hello just joined this community and am in a need of help.
Please help me choose between a jamo s426 hcs3 5.0 and a 5.0 from wharfedale 2x10.1 as front, 10cs as centar and 10.0 as back surround. My room is 25 square meters and i will be connecting theese speakers with vsx 519v or vsx 422 which will be connected to my pc with asus xonar d1 sound card. I might be using analog surround connection to the reciever because i think my sound card has better DAC and 5.1 gaming will be easier. Now, I do almost equal gaming watching movies and listening to music so all three things are important to me. I have listened the jamo s426 and sound very good and full but not as clear and detailed. I have listened wharfa 10.0 and 10.cs however i did not had the chance to listen to 10.1 but from.10.0 and 10 cs, they sound very good crystal clear and loud with detail but they are more squiky, no low noise and sort of missing lows. Plus i will combine all set of wharfedale 5.0 for arround 380 eur comapred to 5.0 jamo s426 hcs3 260 eur. So what would you recomend should i go with the jamo s426 hcs3 cause they have towers in them or should i go with wharfedale 5.0 combinations of bookshelfs. And how do 10.1 sound, will they be deeper and may they act or be better then s426 towers from jamo. And will the center from wharfedale be overkill for the small 10.1. Ah alot of questions please help me. Thank you.

I would think the Wharfedale will sound similar to the previous model you auditioned.

And since they sound crystal clear to you, I think you should buy the Wharfedale. Just add a sub or 2 for the bass.

Well yes 10.1 are just bigger than 10.0 but they were missing some serious deepness, they sounded like a small speakers not as full. I am planing to add a sub but it will be over my budget for now, and I dont think that 1 sub will cover the squikiness of the bookshelfs.

I would lean towards the Wharfedale system - I have some bookshelf speakers, that do
weigh more than them Jamo towers.

Do not expect the Jamo towers to fill your room with deep bass.

However, your call

I just saw that 10.1 have a low responce of 48 hz same as the jamo s426 48 hz so, i am thinking that it will probably be wharfedale even though is so expencive :)
