Short answer: the Polk T50. It ranks #152 of 228 floorstanding speakers by sound quality (rated 3.8/5) at $498 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 T50 is the better-sounding choice. A budget tower with twin woofers and passive radiators that gives pretty deep bass for very little money. The tradeoff: 5dB peak at 1kHz, 4dB bright top end from 11kHz on up.
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 catch: 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.
Buy the Polk T50. It is rated higher for sound quality and still sold new, while the Jamo S807 is discontinued.
