shinjitsu audio speakers?


Anyone here have experience with them? I’m pretty keen on the Lantern model + stand. I’m after a horn speaker that isn’t a box and these look the part. Thanks! 

 

Lantern Speakers

I had not heard of them before. From their AI summary, they sound interesting:

 

Common characteristics across the Lantern series

  • Warm, liquid midrange: The use of Mark Audio Alpair paper-cone wideband drivers gives the speakers a natural, tonally rich midrange that is described as coherent and uncompressed.
  • Dynamic and lively sound: Shinjitsu Audio emphasizes a dynamic, "alive," and impactful sonic presentation that delivers a "live music" feel.
  • Clear, fatigue-free highs: The horn-loaded tweeters (either a Beyma compression driver or an Air Motion Transformer) are tuned to provide extended treble with low distortion, avoiding harshness or listener fatigue.
  • High sensitivity: With sensitivities in the 93–96 dB range, these speakers are efficient and can be effectively driven by low-wattage tube amplifiers as well as high-power solid-state amps.
  • Adjustable treble: Some models, like the Lantern Illuminator, feature an adjustable L-pad for users to fine-tune the high-frequency balance to their room acoustics and personal preferences. 

For the price, and if you are looking to put together a Japanese style system they look like they would be worth a try. 

The build description suggests they should sound as designed.

Name sounds like a knifset advertised on late night TV.

Looking at the website- is this the Tekton of horns? Not a bad thing, it's immediately what came to mind.

Hmm...looks like a box topped with a horn assembly. The upper level with premium veneers are attractive for the design.

 

Thanks folks, I think these really look like winners. Would love to hear from someone that owns or has heard them, I have found a few online reviews are they were positive
