If you love big electrostatic panels, but have a small acoustic space-a speaker for you!

My review on the Shinjitsu Audio Carbon Diasho speaker just went up on the Stereo Times website. As stated in the title of this thread, if you have always loved the sound of big electrostatic panels, but your listening space is small, this speaker will deliver that sonic perspective even though it’s quite minute in size. Beautifully built with an ESS Laboratories AMT and a horn loaded bass driver it does extremely well with both low wattage tube amps, think SET designs, along with sounding excellent with higher powered Solid State amplifiers.

Take a look at the review for all the details and you might be interested in auditioning this speaker with the comfort that you get a 30 day return policy if is not to your personal taste.

Here are some frequency response curves taken in my listening room 1 meter back from the speakers. We found with extensive testing that the Great Heil does not like to be crossed over < 2 Khz as it sacrifices power handling and thins out the midrange. The original AMT 1's from the 70's that I heard in Germany when stationed there sounded bright and boomy to me so we tested in the 2 Khz range and found that the midrange filled in nicely and it sounded far smoother..

Thank you Teajay for the review. I have listed the review pair for sale at a reduced price.
We are in the final build of a new model: "Shinjitsu Audio Diasho Blade". This two way speaker is driven from 60 Hz to 2 Khz with the exquisite Markaudio Alpair-7P Paper Cone 4" Full Range in a cabinet composed of HDF and Wasp patterned aluminized fiberglass. 2 Khz to 20 Khz is driven by an authentic full size Heil AMT transformer made in the USA by ESS. The pale blue driver complements the silver front and back side beautifully. Side panels are carbon fiber black.

Hello!

Thanks for the cool reference. The name means "Truth Audio". I wanted to build a speaker brand that reproduced the transient attack and speed of the original music while keeping costs reasonably affordable.

It may seem a bit odd to marry a 4 inch driver with a Heil AMT but the speed and light weight of the Fostex driver at under 4 Grams matches the diaphragm speed of the Heil. They hand off to each other at 2 K which maximizes dispersion and widens the listening window. Full range drivers in general tend to beam as the frequency advances beyond say 2 Khz.
