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.

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?
@shinjitsuaudio congrats!!! What is the origin of the firm name ? My Sensei used a variant of that as firm name as well...
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.
