Short answer: the Rockville RockTower 68B, if you are buying new, though neither ranks well in its class. The Jamo S807 ranks higher than it (#216 vs #223 of 228 floorstanding speakers, 2.8/5 vs 2.2/5) but is discontinued, so only consider it used; the Rockville RockTower 68B is still sold new at $234.90. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 228 floorstanding speakers, and the Paradigm Monitor SE 3000F, ranked #190 at $322.49, is a better place to start if sound quality matters.
The Jamo S807 is the more accurate, deeper-bass option. A slim, easy to drive discontinued tower with a front port for placement near walls and mounts for an add-on height module. Its measured preference score, a predictor of how neutral it sounds, is 3.84 against 0.96 for the Rockville RockTower 68B. Its bass reaches about 51.9Hz before falling 3dB, against 60.1Hz for the Rockville RockTower 68B. The tradeoff: Erin’s Audio Corner’s measurements show a smiley-face tuning: boosted bass around 80Hz and boosted treble with the dialogue range sitting 3 to 5dB lower, plus a resonance near 400Hz.
Why pick the Rockville RockTower 68B: A very inexpensive three way tower with twin woofers and a dedicated midrange, sold direct with free shipping. Watch for: Objective performance is weak: its preference score is only 0.96 without a subwoofer and 3.42 with one, placing it near the bottom of the measured floorstanders.
Buy the Rockville RockTower 68B new; the Jamo S807 is no longer sold new, so it only makes sense as a used find.

- Tonal accuracy above the bass: with a subwoofer taking the low end, the Jamo S807 scores 5.9 against 3.4 for the Rockville RockTower 68B on the Spinorama preference scale. Its frequency response and off-axis sound are smoother, so voices and instruments sound closer to the recording.
- Efficiency: the Rockville RockTower 68B is rated at 87 dB sensitivity against 84 dB for the Jamo S807, so it plays as loud with roughly half the amplifier power.
