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.

I have gotten a lot of Emails that are asking very technical questions about the back horn loading. I would suggest you contact Morris who is the designer/builder and will be able to answer these questions much more skillfully then me.


Terry... you have a pretty big listening room.  What can you say about how the low end and mid bass sounded from a small (4”) driver?
Hey snapsc,

These speakers were placed in my upstairs system, if you go to Six Moons website and look in the archives for my review on the Perfect Set speakers there is a picture of the space, which is a type of second floor balcony with no back wall or side wall. The system is setup for near field listening. Yet, the Daisho speaker did very well with both the mid bass and excellent taut and extended bass. I would attribute this to the tuning of its back loaded 5.5 ft. horn loading. If you read my review for the details of what this speaker has to offer and you are intrigued, you might want to take the risk of the 30 day trail period. Also these are small speakers, so you don't have to break your back to audition them. I'll still stick to what I said in my review, you need to get them up at least six inches off the ground to get them to 'sing" regarding their ability to sound-stage and image like a big panel speaker. 
review pair review is no longer avaible, lol. Looking forward to listening to them. 
Hey speedbump6,

Congrats! I think you are in for a treat. How big is your acoustic space and what is your upstream gear?
