Little Hiro
I’ve had the Little Hiro's since Nov. 22 "I have at least 300 hrs on these. They have found a home in my secondary system. They are being driven by a First Watt F5, an Aric Audio Unlimited pre, a Wyred4sound dac1, Blusound Node 2, and an old Onkyo c7030 CD player.
My wife goes to bed relatively early, so I do a lot of listening downstairs, where I can be a little more liberal with the volume. I have settled on the one ohm resistors for the horns. These work best for my listening space. I have a pair of old HSU stf 1s. They arent the best, but they work pretty well. The crossovers are set at 70hz. Ive been tinkering for a few months, and again, this works best in my listening space.
These, being my first horn tweeter speakers, have truly impressed me. Great detail, and very quick, lively, but not over done. The soundstage is wide and deep. Which I really love. Ive thought about upgrading the compression tweeter, a recommendation from Morris, the manufacturer. At this point, I cant find anything that is urging me to upgrade. Thats all I have right now, thanks for reading."

Hiro 6.5
Discovered about the Hiro 6.5 in an audio forum called Speaker Porn. Well, in every way this is true. First, the Hiros sound fantastic. I'm using a Prima Luna tube amplifier and these speakers sing with it. I am astonished with the amount of bass that is produced. And the horns are equally amazing. Clear. Smooth. Articulate. Delightful to listen to with any music. And with this being my bedroom system; the speakers sound fantastic at low volume levels too. Then the looks - Stunning. We are talking furniture grade in every way. The Hiros compliment my mid-century modern furniture perfectly. Finally, Morris has been terrific. The speakers arrived several days earlier than the expected 30-day timeframe. He emailed several times during the build process so I was always up-to-date. You can tell that he takes pride in what he builds - great website, blog, and videos where you can sample (as best you can) how the speakers look and perform. Thank you Morris and Shinjitsu for crafting an amazing pair of speakers. Bravo.

Hiro 6.5 Demo
My wife says they are her favorite speakers. Thanks for confirming - my wife says they are her favorite speakers - and we have had Maggie's, Focals, Appogee Acoustics, Acoustats, Klipsch B&W and she loved this in two minutes hearing imaging and a soundstage on well know cordings that she had not heard before.

I love to experience different flavors in audio. These are wonderfully different from what I have in the rotation. They are fast, really dynamic, and throw a huge soundstage. Like I said in an earlier post, I feel like Ive moved up closer to the band. The music is detailed, but not clinical. If this is their entry level, there is no way I wouldn't love any of Shinjitsu’s upstream models.

Just a quick word, how much I've enjoyed my Heros! There's not a day that goes by without being amazed at the quality of sound. Having them now a few months, shows off their unique talent. Open, airy and a sense of spaciousness that lends itself to a feeling of live music. I've transitioned with electronics, using my favorite combination of an affordable tube preamp, and a class d dual mono amp. Tubes deliver the warmth, class d extended dynamics and quick clear delivery! Its warm, yet dynamic, the system reveals music texture, tone of instruments is lifelike! What I'm conveying is they are not difficult to drive with surprisingly affordable electronics and are easy to set up. Keep in touch, anything I can do to help, let me know. If your in Atlanta anytime, lets grab a coffee!

The first impression is 4 inch drivers Little Hiro -
with the small enclosure can produce a good low frequency (bass). I just have 2 days listened with this Hon Hiro speaker, the first day drive with solid state amp and the bass a bit too much (depend of the music) and the second days drive with tube amp is better. So sweet this speaker. Because very short period to enjoy this speaker, but I can say is very good speaker compared to the price. This pair of speakers already send to Singapore and let my friend enjoyed it and feedback the comment is very good result. He drive this speaker with Firstwatt F7 low wattage amp and the performance is very good and previously we are difficult to find the small speaker high efficiency driver and can produce a good low frequency. Have a good design and I hope that your business will grow rapidly.

Interesting is an "UNDERSTATMENT" The Little Hiro puts out more Dynamic renge than ANYTHING in it's Class ,Size, and Price range PERIOD ! I auditioned them 2 months ago, and was Blown Away How tight and Ariy and uncolored they sounded using my McIntosh MA 6300 to power them ! They are a Bargin and blow away Anything in there class ! Remember, You Have to Hear Them to Judge Them ! Well worth every penny at ANY Price ! The SHINJITSU AUDIO SPEAKER IS NOT MAIN STREAM AS OF YET ! BUT THEY WILL BE!

Hiro 6.5
WOW! Since I was (and am) committed to the tubes, found a pair of amazing horn speakers from Shinjitsu audio and wow oh wow - the magic is back. Plenty of bass and midrange. It's as resolving and emotional as my headphone system. From anywhere in the room.

Bosu Hiro
I happen to own a pair of the "Hon Bosuhiro" loudspeakers which I purchased two years ago almost to the day. To surmise my experience I can tell you that in my 45 years as an audio file I have never been so impressed with such a modestly priced DTC product which actually matches perfectly with the claims of the manufacturer. Morris, who is the owner of this company, is totally bleeding-edge in the sense that he makes loudspeakers for people that have an interest in music first. I can rent and rate for hours about why I believe this but I assure you take advantage of his in-home audition policy and pull the trigger you will not be disappointed in any of his offerings. Review forthcoming in social media....

The more I listen to these, the more I like. I moved these to my main listening room, which is a small, but acoustically treated room. I played some vinyl earlier at higher volumes, peaks at 96db. (Per phone app) I was astonished at how well the Little Hiro handles this. These are fast, dynamic, and effortless. I’m going to continue to wrap my head around them. At some point, I can see myself upgrading to Beyma horns, or even to one your larger models. So far, I am very pleased I took the leap into the unknown!

Hiro 6.5L Kit
Crazy Clean! I have about 25 hours on them, this is my second cd on the house stereo. Crazy clean, vocals/ midrange is nicely up front, I am running 2 REL subs and the bass is full, and tight.

Holy Cow my friend! – Little Hiro – Dean J.
I just got the speakers hooked up Sunday evening, so I haven't had a lot of time with them as of yet. The time I have spent with them has been an absolute blast! What fun these beautiful boxes are. I haven't even fine tuned the positioning yet and I'm not sure I need to.
Listen, I am getting my primary turntable back today, after having a couple of upgrades. Let me spend some time getting it acclimated to the speakers and check back in with a more concise review. To this point I have been listening to my Empire 598 and it sounds really nice. Can't imagine getting the other one hooked up this afternoon. I look forward to touching base again soon. Thanks from a happy customer."
