Shinjitsu Audio

Hi Morris,

    Thank you very much for the pointers.  I am really looking forward to hearing these.  I’m sure I will reaching out for more guidance in the future.

My Little Hiro’s have been delivered, and are currently set up in my secondary system.  After a quick demo, I have settled on the 1ohm resisters. I have about an hour on them. So far I’m very encouraged.

The Little Hiro’s have been moved into my main listening room. I’ve since switched the resisters to .75ohm. These are very different than anything I’ve owned in the past. These are dynamic,detailed and fun! Not that my other speakers aren’t fun. (I don’t want the other speakers to get jealous) With the Little Hiro, it feels like I’ve moved a couple rows closer to the band. Imaging and soundstage are absolutely wonderful. Of course, you need decent recordings to start with. This is my first real exposure to compression driver horn speakers. I didn’t really know what to expect, however,I am definitely pleasantly surprised. I’m know very curious as to the sound of the larger models containing the folded horn cabinets. For an entry level speaker system, color me impressed.

Welcome to the compression driver/horn combo. It got me hooked almost 15 years ago, and while I still like other types of speakers, the dynamics, speed and immediacy are hard to beat. Those look really interesting. Enjoy.

Some quick notes on the Little Hiro.  I love to experience different flavors in audio. These are wonderfully different from what I have in the rotation.  They are fast, really dynamic,and throw a huge soundstage.  Like I said in an earlier post, I feel like I’ve moved up closer to the band.  The music is detailed,but not clinical.  If this is their entry level,there is no way I wouldn’t love any of Shinjitsu’s upstream models.
