Short answer: the Polk Audio XT60. It ranks #178 of 228 floorstanding speakers by sound quality (rated 3.5/5) at $458 and is still sold new; the Jamo S807 ranks #216 (rated 2.8/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used.
The Polk Audio XT60 is the more accurate, deeper-bass option. A budget tower with a woofer and two passive radiators that gives surprisingly deep bass for the price. Its measured preference score, a predictor of how neutral it sounds, is 5.19 against 3.84 for the Jamo S807. Its bass reaches about 43.9Hz before falling 3dB, against 51.9Hz for the Jamo S807. The tradeoff: Bass alignment Q (lfq 0.96) is an unusually high, underdamped figure for a tower speaker, consistent with owner reports of a slightly loose, boomy low end at higher volumes.
The case for the Jamo S807: A slim, easy to drive discontinued tower with a front port for placement near walls and mounts for an add-on height module. 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.

Measured Differences
- Tonal accuracy above the bass: with a subwoofer taking the low end, the Polk Audio XT60 scores 7.1 against 5.9 for the Jamo S807 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 Polk Audio XT60 is rated at 86 dB sensitivity against 84 dB for the Jamo S807, so it plays as loud with roughly two thirds of the amplifier power.
- Close enough not to matter: bass extension (38.1 Hz vs 36.2 Hz, 10 dB down).
