And it's not just returning with
    one product, but a whopping seven .

    This is across two families, and one will look familiar to audiophiles. The Concert Legacy series brings back the look of Jamo's older speakers,
    including the Concert 803 , but in a newer form. There are three models here: the Legacy 8 ($2,999), Legacy 9 ($5,299) and Legacy 11 ($7,999). Each price
    is for a pair of speakers, and we're waiting on international pricing, but we expect them to be available in plenty of countries.

    The Legacy 8 is a passive bookshelf speaker with a 6.5-inch midwoofer and 1-inch dome tweeter. The Legacy 9 is a floorstander that adds two 6.5-inch woofers to the mix, and the Legacy 11 pops in another one of those woofers
    for good measure.

    In the latter two models, the woofers are separated to a lower unit, which is padded with rubber to avoid it affecting your higher frequencies.

    Each model comes in a trio of wooden finishes: Onxy, Heritage or Northern Frost. Keeping it flat (Image credit: Jamo) The newer family of devices from Jamo is the Concert Element series. This differentiates itself by taking a Scandi-chic design; each looks like a Lego brick that plays music. They're minimalist and funky.

    There are four devices here: the Concert Element 50 ($1,099), Element 70 ($1,899), Element 90 ($2,499) and the subwoofer SW10 ($699, and this price is for just one unit, not two).

    With a (relatively) thin design, these devices are designed to fit better in shallow crevices or, in the case of the bookshelf Element 50, on furniture. This model has a 1-inch dome tweeter and 6.5-inch woofer, with a down-firing port.

    The next two models are both floor-standers. The Element 70 gets a 1-inch tweeter, 5-inch medium cone and 8-inch woofer, while the Element 90 slightly increases the sizes of those drivers with a 1-inch tweeter, 6.5-inch medium and 10-inch woofer.

    As you can probably guess by the prices, these aren't the exact audio equals of the Concert Legacy series, though you'd still expect them to be
    impressive. It's the design that sets these models apart, with a clean look that screams modernism, and we really like the thoughtfulness around make a more slimline option for narrower spaces.

    The Concert Element SW10 offers a 10-inch long-throw woofer, and connects to other speakers by dual RCA / LFE line in.

    All of these seven new Jamo speakers will go on sale in August 2026, so
