Jamo is bringing back one of its better-known names, and it is doing it with two different speaker families: Concert Legacy and Concert Element.
Both ranges are expected to launch in August 2026, with Jamo planning to show them publicly at High End Vienna 2026 from June 4–7. That gives the brand a fairly clear stage for its comeback, especially since Jamo has recently returned under new ownership.
The interesting part is that Jamo is not treating the Concert Series as one simple speaker lineup. Instead, it is splitting the range into two very different ideas. Concert Legacy is the more traditional hi-fi side of the family, aimed at listeners who want passive speakers, larger cabinets, and higher-end driver technology. Concert Element, meanwhile, is built around a slimmer, more design-led approach that should be easier to fit into modern living rooms.
In other words, Jamo is trying to cover two types of speaker buyers at once: the person who still wants a serious two-channel system, and the person who wants good sound without turning the room into a dedicated listening space.
The Concert Legacy range includes three passive speakers: the Concert Legacy 11, Concert Legacy 9, and Concert Legacy 8.
The Legacy 11 and Legacy 9 are floorstanding speakers, while the Legacy 8 is a standmount model. Pricing starts at $2,999 per pair for the Legacy 8, rises to $5,299 per pair for the Legacy 9, and reaches $7,999 per pair for the Legacy 11. European pricing is listed at €3,299, €5,499, and €8,999, respectively.
That puts the Legacy speakers well above casual “starter system” territory. These are positioned more for people who are already building a proper stereo setup, or who want a pair of speakers that can sit at the center of a long-term hi-fi system.
The Legacy name also has some history behind it. Jamo’s earlier Concert 8 and Concert 11 speakers from the 1990s are still remembered by some longtime hi-fi fans, so the new range is clearly meant to reconnect with that part of the brand’s past. But this is not just a straight retro reissue. Jamo is using the name as a starting point, then updating the design, cabinet construction, and drivers for today’s market.
The new Legacy models are made in Denmark and use driver technology developed with Scandinavian suppliers, including Scan-Speak in Denmark and SEAS in Norway. Jamo is also using Finnish wood-fiber materials in the woofers.
One of the main technical ideas here is Jamo’s DualCore cabinet design. That sounds more complicated than it really is. The basic idea is to separate the bass section from the midrange and treble section inside the cabinet. Bass drivers move a lot of air, and that pressure can affect the rest of the speaker if the cabinet is not carefully controlled. By giving the bass and midrange areas their own spaces, Jamo is trying to reduce unwanted interference inside the speaker.
On the Legacy 9, for example, the tweeter and midrange driver sit in a sealed upper chamber, while the woofers work in the lower section. The horizontal split across the cabinet is not just a styling detail. It reflects how the speaker is built internally.
The Legacy 9 is a useful example of what this range is about. It is a 3-way bass-reflex floorstanding speaker with dual 165mm Scan-Speak wood-fiber woofers, a 165mm SEAS aluminum/magnesium midrange driver, and a 25mm Scan-Speak dome tweeter. Jamo lists frequency response at 33Hz to 21kHz, sensitivity at 92dB, and recommended amplifier power at 40W to 200W.
The Legacy lineup breaks down like this:
The speakers will be available in Onyx, Heritage, and Northern Frost finishes. At least for now, Jamo has not announced a matching Legacy center speaker, surround speaker, or subwoofer. That makes the Legacy range feel more focused on stereo listening than full home theater systems.
The Concert Element range takes a different path. It is still part of the new Concert Series, but it is aimed more at people who want speakers that look clean, take up less visual space, and fit naturally into everyday rooms.
The Element family includes the Element 50 bookshelf speaker, Element 70 and Element 90 floorstanding speakers, and the Element SW10 subwoofer.
Pricing is much lower than the Legacy line, though still not exactly budget-bin territory. The Element 50 starts at $1,099 per pair, the Element 70 is $1,899 per pair, and the Element 90 is $2,499 per pair. The Element SW10 subwoofer is priced at $699. European pricing is listed at €1,159, €1,999, €2,599, and €729.
The biggest difference is the design. Jamo worked with Copenhagen-based industrial design studio HarritSørensen on the Element line, and the speakers have a very different look from traditional box-style hi-fi speakers. The front design uses a “circle over rectangle” layout, where the driver section is visually separated from the cabinet below it.
That may sound like a small design choice, but it gives the Element speakers a more furniture-like feel. They are also relatively shallow, which should make them easier to place near walls, media consoles, or in rooms where big, deep speaker cabinets would look out of place.
Jamo has not ignored the technical side, though. The Element speakers use drivers developed with SB Acoustics, and each model is tuned around its own cabinet size. The company is also using a single-driver-per-range approach, which can make the crossover design simpler and help reduce some types of distortion.
The floorstanding Element models use dual-chamber cabinets, while the range also includes down-firing ports and time-aligned tweeter placement. That means Jamo is trying to keep the speakers easier to place while still paying attention to how the drivers line up and interact.
The Element SW10 is the only subwoofer announced for the new Concert Series so far. It uses a 150W Class D amplifier, with Jamo listing 300W maximum power, a 30Hz–250Hz bandwidth, and a low-frequency cutoff at 20Hz. It also includes a 40Hz–140Hz low-pass filter, phase control, and an EQ boost at 55Hz.
The Element lineup includes:
Jamo’s return is interesting because the brand is not just coming back with a safe, low-cost speaker package. The new Concert Series gives it two very different ways to reintroduce itself.
Concert Legacy is clearly aimed at buyers who still care about traditional hi-fi design: passive speakers, premium drivers, larger cabinets, and stereo listening. Concert Element feels more like the modern-living-room option, with slimmer cabinets, bolder styling, and a dedicated subwoofer for people who want more system flexibility.
That split makes sense. Not every speaker buyer wants the same thing anymore. Some people still want a large pair of floorstanders and a serious amplifier. Others want speakers that sound capable but do not dominate the room. Jamo is trying to speak to both groups without forcing one design philosophy across the whole range.
The real test, of course, will come when the speakers are heard outside a trade show environment. Legacy’s pricing puts it in a competitive hi-fi space, where Jamo will have to go up against brands that have stayed more visible in recent years. Element looks more approachable, but it still costs enough that buyers will likely compare it against several well-known lifestyle and hi-fi speaker options.
For now, the new Concert Series gives Jamo a clearer identity for its comeback. Legacy leans on the company’s past, while Element points toward the kind of speaker people may actually want in their living rooms today. That combination could help Jamo re-enter the conversation, but the final word will depend on how these speakers sound once they reach dealers and reviewers.
