A102HCS5 5.1 Speaker System wins Best Style Speaker Package under £500 at What Hi-Fi Awards What Hi-Fi, UK, October 2008
"ANOTHER STYLE SPEAKER package Award, another reigning champion retains its crown. There may not be the same feverish level of competition at this price point that there is at higher levels, but we've nonetheless heard some morn-than-adequate challengers in the past twelve months. None of them, however, could quite hit the heights that this entry-level charmer continues to scale.
... Build quality is perfectly acceptable, and the little A102 satellite speakers even feature integrated wall brackets. The A10CEN centre speaker is a little larger than its cuboid siblings, and has a bracket of its own. Even the SUB200 subwoofer isn't as hefty as some subs that accompany speaker packages of this size. Happily, the A102HCS5 doesn't sound as small as it looks. It can certainly get pretty lively at the top end, so you'd be well-advised to avoid the more vivid amplifiers that might seek to partner a package like this, but in every other respect the Jamo impresses. Dialogue is substantial and distinct, effects are moved and focused promptly and the subwoofer punches manfully above its weight. There's enjoyable atmosphere and excitement generated... Verdict: For an entry-level package, this is nearly all virtue, very little vice"
