Shinjitsu Audio

Thank you so much Morris.  My reasoning behind choosing the Little Hiro is the size of my main listening room. It’s only 9x13x8.   I had the opportunity to pick up a pair of Hon Hiros,but ultimately I think the smaller speakers are a better fit. Time will tell if I was correct.

As larryi mentioned it would be great to be able to hear these speakers at a show like CAF 2022, especially since I'll be attending and am interested in the speakers.  I do understand that there's time and expense involved in exhibiting at these shows.

The website contains this: "Shinjitsu Audio developed this new speaker to address an unmet need: an affordable high efficiency speaker that has authority, soundstage, and dynamics in a moderate sized cabinet of under 2 cubic feet".  Yes - someone finally gets it.  But I do have to wonder if that 20Hz spec is really true. 

Hello garyalex,

As we are a small company sending the speakers to a large event is not in our budget yet. The 20Hz spec is a measured response documented via REW software in our website and also in our audiogon ad for the Hiro 6.5. The Mark Audio CHR120 documentation for the design of our size speaker cabinet which is a vented design is: Fb@34Hz. The measured in room response in our listening room is flat to 30Hz and with room gain is measurable to 21Hz. Response in your room may differ. 

OK.  The speaker I’ve been reading about on your website is the Hiro 6.5.  It really looks interesting.

Its a great speaker and the one I listen to most often. I use tube amplifiers at 30 watts and its increased sensitivity allows me to have more headroom. I find the larger horn provides a very large soundstage yet does not create a narrow sweet spot. Tonally its a bit warmer in the upper bass than our smaller speakers. The larger woofer presents the midrange in great detail and does not suffer from beaming. We were lucky to locate a supplier for the 10 inch wide black limba front panel as 8 inches is the size most suppliers carry. The CHR 120 Mark Audio main driver is unique as it does not need baffle step compensation due to a 3 dB rise below 100 Hz.
