Thank you for your detailed response. I do recognize that it is hard to market speakers these days while keeping costs low enough that you can offer what appears to be extremely low prices given what goes into the construction of your speakers. I am impressed with the way you implemented the quarter wave back-loaded horn. It would be nice if, at least once, you showed up at one of the larger regional shows, such as Capital Audiofest in the Washington DC area (I just happen to live in that area, this is not me promoting my self interest, okay, I admit, I want quite badly to hear your speaker). I am not in the market for your speakers, so I would not be ordering one for home trial, but, I am very much interested in them.

These speakers have piqued my curiosity for a while. I just worked out a deal for a pair of Little Hiro. I really enjoy trying things off of the beaten path. It will be interesting to hear how these perform in comparison to my Hornshoppe Great Horned Heils. I’m hoping to have them by the end of the week. I'll report back once I get some saddle time with them. |
FYI the Little Hiros are not back loaded horn speakers. They are a ported design with a compression driver. Also the Horn Shoppe Great Horned Heils are far larger. A better comparison would be the the Hiros or Super Hiros as they are back loaded horns. I can arrange a dealer discount for you if desired. Happy Holidays! Morris

@shinjitsuaudio, thank you so much for your feedback. I think maybe the term comparison is a bit misleading in my situation. This will not be a winner take all event. I am hoping that I fall for the Little Hiro’s. I run three,now four different speaker systems thru two listening rooms. Currently I have,Graham Chartwell LS 3/5(not A), Nola Boxer 2,and Hornshoppe Great Horned Heils. I truly enjoy them all,however they are all distinctly different. The one attribute they all share is huge soundstage. These are driven by a First Watt J2, F5, and a pair of Monarchy SM70mkII. All on the lower power side of things. Like I have said previously, the design of these speakers is intriguing. I am very much looking forward to getting the Little Hiro into the rotation. Ray |
