WCW-X1-04E SEAS X1-04
EXOTIC F8
I took request for making of WCW
with SEAS X1-04 EXOTIC in March. The custom-ordered
hybrid horn speakers have finally been completed in
the end of June. SEAS is Norwegian company, and X1-04
EXOTIC F8 is 20cm full-range speaker driver with alnico
magnet.
X1-04 EXOTIC F8 |
The diaphragm is double cones
and has a sprinkling of papyrus fiber. SEAS
X1-04 EXOTIC F8 is a careful beautiful speaker
driver. The damper is set up on separate
frame, and its material is formed of fine-mesh
nets to reduce resistance. Furthermore it has a
large area. I can't help looking
at |
this beautiful speaker driver in
wonder. I feel beautility to SEAS X1-04 EXOTIC
F8.
Speaker cable is D.U.C.C.®
from Mitsubishi Cable Industries. The cable is
too thick, so I couldn't connect it to terminal
of the inside of WCW. X1-04 EXOTIC F8
and D.C.U.U.® are supplied by the
client. |
D.U.C.C.® | WCW-X1-04E plays vocal
attractively. I feel the warmth of the voice of vocalist,
and sings me naturally. Sound from the diaphragm doesn't
have a habit. It's mild pure sound, so I find comfort in
music. Perhaps it is the result of internal loss of
papyrus fiber. The client said, "I want WCW-X1-04E to
sing Diana Krall beautifully." I think a combination
of WCW and SEAS X1-04 EXOTIC F8 was the best choice to
the client. |

SEAS X1-04 EXOTIC F8 mounted on
WCW-X1-04E warmed up to a much greater degree. First,
I thought WCW-X1-04E has a bright tone color and picks up
the fine sound, also, I thought the sound doesn't
make WCW-X1-04E's position known. WCW-X1-04E paints a
fascinating portrait of the afterglow and the reality,
especially vocal performance is very impressive. I
thought playing style of WCW enclosure is completely
different to other enclosures, too. Additionally, I
think WCW-X1-04E has perfect sound localization. It's
hard to believe that I had a lot of trouble for
positioning loudspeakers up until now.
I am
overflowing with happiness to encounter WCW-X1-04E. I
look forward to a continuance of the production of great
loudspeakers. Thank you very much for all that you have
done for me. |

WCW-755A 755A, SOUND BASE
555
Six weeks have passed
since have arrived at our home. Every day I had a really
fun time. I brought a replica of WE755A drivers named
755A sold by SOUND BASE 555 to Hasehiro Audio last
summer, and requested making WCW enclosures.
The
list of my longing for WE755A goes on and
on. 1. I have wanted to listen to WE755A
color because there was an article in very old audio
magazine including tube amp of Western
Electric. 2. WE755A comes up a lot on
Hasehiro website. 3. My favorite audio critic
complimented the replicated 755A in audio
magazine.
So I wanted to listen to WCW sound
through 755A if put in an order for it
now. |
|
I put WCW-755A on the arrival of it, and
listened to the sound immediately. I had this image of
it as a cheerful and energetic dry sound like Altec, but
it had very soft, deep and warm sound. And also it
had exhilarating high-resolution sound.
Huh? I tried to
listen to countless CD and SACD in
panic. WCW-755A also reproduced its crispy sound
of my favorite string music CD, and on top of that, it
reproduced with the warmth of the wooden body and its
good moisture.
Wow, I know now. I felt
relief. Next, I played a female vocal music CD, and
caught the deep vivid sound. Come to think of it, I
think there was an article in audio magazine on 755A has
a silky-smooth sound with its fine particles. I
satisfied myself.
Six weeks have gone by now. I
have no complaints about WCW-755A, rather it
brings endless surprises. The audio image has an
organic feel. I detect a whiff of real flesh and blood in
it, and sings me a song in my room. There is a real tenor
sax right in front of me here if it's jazz, and I feel a
strong wind with moisture-containing breath in my
bones. WCW-755A has such a reality. Usually, I am
listening to music on loud, but I sometimes fall
asleep in relief.
|
It sounds sweet to me and heals even
loud music.
As objective report; Before,
my calico cat disappeared twitching ears from my
sight soon when I played its crispy sound of my
favorite string music on loud. But when
I listen to it on loud through WCW-755A, my
calico cat doesn't only shrink from it
but sleeps nestled against WCW-755A and
also looks at a whiff of the sound
image seriously sitting on it.
I want
everyone to know one other appreciate the hybrid
wood-concrete | backloaded horn enclosure. WCW
enclosure is made of concrete, but that resonates
by birch laminated wood with the enthusiastic backing of
the music, and in the next moment, the concrete creates
dead silence immediately. I don't think there's any other
sound controllable enclosure in a natural way like
this. Not only WCW enclosure regales me with sound of the
front and the back of the speaker driver, it plays
according to the needs of the music and it doesn't
resonate wastefully. So, the sound doesn't become
cloudy. I think that's the mystery of a clear sense of
reality. |

― Report from
Hasehiro ―
When exhibited at LA FOLLE
JOURNEE de NIIGATA 2012, a
visitor brought a replica of WE755A drivers named
755A sold by SOUND BASE 555. From before, I received
calls on the phone from the visitor from other
prefecture, "I
will bring 755A to Niigata, so will you mount on
WCW?" I previewed the sound of a replica of WE755A
on the spot. |
trial listening of a replica of
WE755A |
I played the same Yo-Yo Ma's CD as I
listened to the sound of a real Western Electric WE755A
about 10 years ago.
I was incredibly impressed
with it. I and he perceived that it's very like
that touched sound without an enclosure.
"I could have danced all
night" The pizzicato is firm and the
faint high-tone range of a thin string is really
beautiful. I haven't felt really beautiful high-tone
range in a long time. It's a replica, but it's just
WE755A. The sound's freshness is totally
different from general speaker drivers: in cake, the
difference between fresh cream and butter cream. And
it has a special atmosphere that cannot be described in
words. It compares favorably with the
original. I and he were excited about mounting it on
WCW. |

WCW-755A 755A, SOUND BASE 555
Since
that order, I received the same
orders. I received this order pictured above in
August last year. I have the 755A drivers in
trust for the client. Listening to the sound after I
mount 755A on non-resonance structured double-layered
backloaded horn enclosures, despite the replica drivers,
755A is awesome. It seems to be finished with the aging,
the sound is soft and the resolution is extremely
high. The syllables of that instrument such as guitar and
piano have strong core and the music has an uplifting
feeling. The musical performance is
alive.
I had only 2 days to preview the
sound, and I sent out WCW-755A with strong
reluctance. I hope to make paired WCW-755A for
demonstration by this autumn Hasehiro listening
event. If you bought 755A and you are still thinking
about the enclosure, I highly recommend WCW for
755A. You should be able to listen to some great
music. About 10 years ago, I mounted real Western
Electric WE755A on WCW and delivered WCW-WE755A. At that time, I was also moved by that
tone color. WCW-755A has similar sound to
WCW-WE755A.
― Comment from The
Client ―
This is a exactly like musical
instrument. I am really glad that I have met this
loudspeaker in my life. I have been audio for 60 years
now, I could finally meet the ideal sound. This is a
really nice, Thank
you! |

― Report
from Hasehiro ―
I received order for a custom
WCW-F200A in August and I'm presently making it. This WCW-F200A uses Nanotec's
GoldenStrada #79 nano3 as the speaker cord according to
the customer's directions. I was confused by the diameter
just like gas hose. |
with
GoldenStrada #79 nano3 |
FOSTEX F200A
WCW-F200A
I made a suggestion to the
customer, "How about a thinner
cord
of the same type of the same brand?" But the
customer rejected the suggestion, "That way, the
sound quality is very
different."
WCW series fills concrete with the
speaker cord inside the horn. So it is very
difficult work if it is thick. But I was worried
over nothing. I got the filling process
finished. I passed over the hump |
| and breathed freely. I'm struggling
so much, but also looking forward to listening the
sound
quality. |

Roiene RA160
WCW-2016R
Roiene RA160 had an alnico
magnet, and it had the lithe feminine sound
quality. It gave off feminine charms. It was a
glamorous speaker driver with such an
atmosphere. Particularly, strings were
beautiful. The plaintive tone of violoncello constricted
my chest and made tears flow. I have never been in a
situation like this outside the RA160.
I was asked to
make the WCW from Roiene RA160 owner Mr.K. It's been
years since I've made the WCW. WCW is excellent with
RA160. If mount it on the double-layered hybrid horn
enclosure, Roiene RA160 has a nice expression for
sound.
It was called WCW-2016R. WCW-2016R had own
emotions like a person. It played own emotions in
addition to the performer's emotions. I had this feeling
to WCW-2016R.
I took the order in April, but this
spring was too cold and this summer was experiencing
record high temperatures. Therefore, it didn't provide a
good environment to make concrete. So, production of WCW
speakers got delayed until this autumn.
In November, Mr.K's enclosures has finally been
completed. And I mounted his Roiene RA160 on the
double-layered hybrid horn enclosures.
But... |
torn urethane
rubber |
"Oh, no!
I broke Mr.K's
precious Roiene RA160 while at work!"
The urethane rubber was torn.
Roiene RA160 is tough to get. I felt the blood drain
from my face, but I didn't handle it roughly. I gave
the urethane rubber of the other RA160 a slight
press, then it ruptured easily. This was because of
aged deterioration of the urethane rubber.
Although
the promised delivery date was that weekend, I
told Mr.K the whole story, and I sent Roiene
RA160 for re-upholstery. I allowed a month to
reupholster the edge of the urethane rubber. But
it completed in about a week. I was amazed by
the beauty. It was a great finish like
brand-new than brand-new.
I could make
WCW-2016R |
after
re-upholstery | after a long interval thanks to
Mr.K. |
re-emergence of WCW-2016R
|
Mr.K, Tokyo January
2011 |
Happy New Year! About one month
has passed since WCW-2016R married into our
family. Finally, 45 single stereo power amplifier
Yamamoto Sound Craft A-08S aged the WCW-2016R. I
commissioned you to make WCW-2016R to coincide with the
completion of audio room of our house. After all, the
combination of the double-layered hybrid horn
enclosure and Roiene RA160 is
excellent!
Audiologically, WCW-2016R makes a
rapid response and doesn't have an unwanted incidental
tone by the double-layered hybrid horn. WCW-2016R
spreads the sounds with the atmosphere in space from the
silence. Clearly, S/N ratio of my PMP-151S (Vifa 10BGS)
has improved by electric work for audio. That is, it
improved the voltage drop and fluctuation. But
WCW-2016R plays music from a deeper silence and the depth
of darkness. And WCW-2016R clarifies the whole
picture even perfectly-buried sounds. I realize that
it is supported by the silence.
Furthermore, the
melody is excellent... I listened to the sound of
WCW-F200A time after time in every Hasehiro event, but
WCW-2016R has the different world. WCW-2016R adds the
soul of the music to the silence and the
atmosphere. There is no sound between the two instrument
sounds, but there is an atmosphere of the
instrument. The air and the souls of the players are
contagious to me.
"Realistic Expression" is emblematic of the
double-layered hybrid horn. Of course WCW-2016R isn't an
all-round player. WCW-2016R shows the best performance to
the touching music.

I went to The Tokyo International
Audio Show 2013 yesterday, and I felt send mail to
you.
The conclusion is that WCW-2016R is
amazing! I listened to musics by many expensive
loudspeakers such as JPY6,000,000 and JPY20,000,000 in
pair all the day. After that, I listened to the special
piano concert Miyuji Kaneko. I really felt it
and took it well there. Of course CD/SACD sound is different from live
sound.
Reproduced sound is very
beautiful, but I don't feel the live atmosphere,
realistic sensation, air of excitement and quietness from
it. I felt that anything extra is on the individual
tone, so I feel a murky sound to it. All in all,
a live performance is amazing! It brings a live
sound, that's WCW-2016R!
Thanks once again, I look
forward to a continuance of the production of great
loudspeakers. |

Mr.Sasaki, Fukushima

Listening impression by renting
service (renting service: in Japan
only) Thank you for renting
RR-10PA13 and the valuable opportunity. In a word,
RR-10PA13 was a greater-than-expected virtuoso
performer. I particularly admired good response and good
texture of the bass. I was surprised to find of the sound
that I did not hear such as electric bass's
slapping & popping and contrabass's attack. I
was especially drawn to the texture of strings and
percussion in classical music. Additionally, RR-10PA13
didn't produce a cracking sound easily even
megavolume. I was thrilled by it, too.
I
recognized that RR-10PA13 is highly professional
loudspeaker. I can't even compare to my own backloaded
horn speaker. RR-10PA13 was completely different
regarding bass attack, my own backloaded horn
speaker has a voluminous feel in its own way but it
plays in a mumble. Until now, maybe I focused on just
bass volume. From now on I would like to improve the
environment to increase bass texture. I would also
like to purchase Hasehiro MM speaker box
kit and want to try the various full-range
speaker
drivers. |
Mr.Hosoya, Kanagawa Pref. October
2013 |
DCU-C131W I bought RR-10PA13 in
2008 and had been playing it since then, but recently I
replaced the original PARC Audio DCU-F131W with coaxial
type of PARC Audio DCU-C131W. So I
report. |
|
The phase plug
was RR-10PA13's appealing face. I regret the loss of that
face. But it
became bright mid and high pitch sound for putting the
tweeter. Especially, it is
particularly effective in jazz piano and
trumpet, as I have
been unsatisfied with this. I was screwed shut PARC
Audio-recommended
network on the ceiling of the air chamber. I could store the
network |
RR-10 with
DCU-C131W | by cutting the
board. This replacement isn't aimed at everyone,
but I feel really good about the
outcome. |

― Report
from Hasehiro ―
Custom-ordered RR-10
speakers were completed, and I previewed before
shipment. I was surprised by the high-quality finished
sound. The custom-ordered RR-10 is RR-10PA13, but this
primer coating for the enclosure is SSC compound.
SSC compound is alcohols solvent
containing silicon nanospheres. It penetrates evenly and
deeper into the enclosure, and becomes solid
glass film inside it. |
listening
comparison
between SSC coated and uncoated
RR-10PA13 |
I previewed this custom and natural
RR-10PA13 alternately. As a result, I was impressed by
the sound quality effect of hybrid SSC-urethane
coating.
Tennessee Ernie Ford His deep
singing voice became more deeply and
strong.
Miyuki Hatakeyama The quality
of her voice became thicker, and she sent out a
stronger message to me. And as for a guitar, string
tension became stronger and the sensitivity
increased.
It was different from urethane coating and
SSC coating. SSC compound brings a clear and bright sound
quality, but hybrid SSC-urethane coating draws a soft
veil over it -- it's sharp, but also rotundate heavy
sound.
In terms of artistic sound, I thought it is
similar to WCW-755A. The joy that I could make better sound for
a high level of completion and the satisfaction that
I can deliver better than expected sound made
me feel happy for a brief while. Hybrid SSC-urethane
coating was illuminating for
me. |
Mr.K, Tokyo. October 2012 |
Listening impression by renting
service (renting service: in Japan
only) Thank you for renting RR-10PA13. It
had higher resolution that differs from I once had
ONKYO Liverpool. RR-10PA13 was heavy and a steady
speaker. Listening to the sound, I clearly felt that it's
probably best to choose full-range speaker.
I
listened to Internet radio source, and at a point distant
from the living room, too. And then, I sensed the
Hasehiro backloaded horn speaker's ability by the power
of an acoustic transmission regardless of the volume
level. My parents and brothers live in the same apartment
house, and I said to come to my house to listen to the
sound of amazing speaker. Everyone was surprised by
the amazing sound.
Amazing characteristic
features and resolution -- Hasehiro backloaded horn
speaker was as good as I've heard. I will buy MM kit
or any completed Hasehiro
speaker. |

Mr.K, Osaka
Pref. June 2011 |
Listening impression by renting
service (renting service: in Japan
only)
Thank you for renting
RR-10PA13. I'm not an audio nut but just an classical
music lover.
I connected RR-10PA13 with
a single tube amp ELEKIT TU-8230 using 2A3, and
I listened a lot of favorite CDs at random by an old
CD player PIONEER PD-8070. My wife looked slightly taken
aback.
The rated power of ELEKIT TU-8230 is also
only 3W, it's physically impossible to listen to a
full orchestra at full blast and through the massive
effects of the backloaded horn system. But RR-10PA13
is great such as a subtle nuance and atmosphere of music,
beauty of harmony in choral music, very warm and clear
sound in winds and vocal music, a sensitive piano
sound and so on.
RR-10PA13 is a true
instrument. Rather than being considered audio, it is
very similar to musical instruments. A very few
times, I felt for one moment that the strings is
tight. How is RR-10LC12S different from
RR-10PA13? It will become cheaper if I set
up my speaker system by MM kit, but it may be
difficult for me to complete it to the RR-10's
perfection level. Which one do you
recommend, PA13 or
LC12S? |
June 2011 |
Thank you very much for renting
RR-10LC12S after RR-10PA13. To tell the conclusion
first, I will order RR-10LC12S.
I listened to
the sound of RR-10LC12S while I am still charged
up after the sound of RR-10PA13 by the same audio
system in the same room. Due to this, I could really
know the difference between the two characters. PARC
Audio DCU-F131W looks more expensive and has class, and
ELCY Electric LC-12S looks cheap in appearance.
The
strings of RR-10LC12S is quite fascinating. It is more
like emphatic sound than live sound, I
was fascinated by the strings.
Instead, bad performance really stands out in favorite
musics. Compared to RR-10PA13, in RR-10LC12S's case, I
heard the sound such as a violin from behind the
enclosures. It feels like I am listening to
performance in the back row of the concert: it's
mild. The resolution of each instrument is enough. I
felt the beauty and the sensitivity of choir harmony and
brass chord through RR-10LC12S. Woodwind and vocal are
warm sound. Piano is a delicate and clear sound, and the
bass is natural. RR-10LC12S is not imported vintage
speaker, but that sound has a nostalgic feel.
Both
RR-10s have a soothing sound, and I could hardly decide
which. But I decided to order RR-10LC12S because my wife
said, "I like this one better."

to find a German shop selling VERAVOX 5S on the Internet

I can feel
the real instrument, especially, a piano, guitar and

out the good property in VERAVOX 5S. I'm looking

Excerpt from His
Blog http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/qyg06334_kuroyan/12889052.html http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/qyg06334_kuroyan/12912970.html
I spun
the music through UMU-131XS. I half-listened to
music for the first several hours, but it has great sound
localization just as expected of full-range speaker. It
highlighted vocal in middle space gradually. In a moment,
the sound began to exert change from the end of second
day. UMU-131XS warmed up, and it gained beautiful
sound with resonance. Beautiful resonance without
incidental sound started to spread in surrounding space,
especially recorded source at a hall.
But UMU-131XS
has a shortage of bass. Maybe it's because of the size of
speaker driver, or it might be improved. It is like
scale-down bass such as bass track of a grand
piano, contrabass and cello. Though UMU-131XS doesn't
produce a cracking sound easily even megavolume, so I
think this speaker driver has a high level of
potential. At this stage, some source is gorgeous
music including baroque, but some
don't. |
|
It's almost ten days. UMU-131XS
continued to change from day to day
clearly. Sleazy-sounding bass track of a grand
piano has now completely just died out. I
listened to Jazz Trio, I don't feel a sense of
incongruity anymore, too. UMU-131XS can't play
contrabass resonance but it has become that it plays
enough bass. Understandably, the bass is different
from big diameter speaker. A part of me wants to use good
subwoofer if I want more bass, but I feel like there is
something wrong with it.
I get the impression that a
simple sound has a good chemistry with UMU-131XS, and an
old recording source became very enjoyable. So, I
listened to some rock musics on a trial basis.
MOVING
WAVES FOCUS UMU-131XS learned rock
music. I could listen to a moan of the guitar
playing by Jan Akkerman, and unconstrained
yodel & flute by Thijs Van Leer. I
feel that UMU-131XS mastered the source of dramatic new
turn.
Red King
Crimson No way! It sounds like
flippancy. UMU-131XS has a bright beautiful sound,
so it becomes pure rock. It requires dark and heavy
feel.
ATOM HEART MOTHER THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON
/ MEDDLE PINK FLOYD THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON also sound like a bit
lively music, but I could be enjoyed by the spread of the
sound enough. ATOM HEART MOTHER accompanied by an
orchestra was a relatively good. I have thought that
brass wind become lighter sound, but it was imagining
things, nay, UMU-131XS created good atmosphere. And so I
listened to ECHOES taken from MEDDLE, but it became a bit
brisk feeling just as I suspected.
Sympathy for the
Devil THE ROLLING STONES Again, an opening song or Sympathy for the
Devil on Beggars Banquet became a clear sound in whole,
but I feel really comfortable with that Sympathy for the
Devil. Originally this
track brings electric guitar played by Keith
Richards to the fore, but UMU-131XS forces it
forward more. Relatively-simple sound is too beautiful
but powerful.
UMU-131XS allows rock music to be
listened. But electronic music such as Electric
Light Orchestra is hard to listen, it sounds
unnatural and wrong like an old-time AM broadcast.
|
UMU-131XS is aging while
writing this
e-mail. I heared powerful
bass in bass crossover of piano
and double bass of Jazz Piano Trio. UMU-131XS is going to be more
better. The sound remain
constant in thickness even low
volume when I listen to my favorite The Beatles
and Billy Joel as
BGM.
This isn't a final
assessment of UMU-131XS: It has a beautiful clear with unclouded
sound without unnecessary
noise. It plays a freshening
sound | beyond that the middle high
sound extends in a direction toward me, so its
female vocal outclasses all the others. Then again, it has non-matching
genres of music.
But Hasehiro exponential back
loaded horns have a
unique sound. That is an
amazingly realistic instrument sound, a remarkable sound
localization
and they can play the singer's soul above
all. Therefore I am touched listening
to the sound of
UMU-131XS. |
Mr.Yamamoto, Aichi
Pref. October 2012 |
Listening impression by renting
service (renting service: in Japan
only)
UMU-131XS was unbelievable rich
volume from the size, and the spread of the sound rose
rapidly from beyond a certain volume level. There
were enormous gaps in sound and appearance. I felt
something was wrong, maybe due to a bias against all
previous loudspeakers. Low range is
hopeless due to the small size, but all the rest
was well and good. For background music on a desk and
at living room, I thought it was luxurious sound
quality. |

Listening impression by renting
service (renting service: in Japan
only)
I previewed the sound of
UMU-131XS. Thank you for all your
trouble. I connected UMU-131XS with untended digital
amp TOPPING TP60, just got a new. And I played a
CD by an old CD player DENON
DCD-1650AL.
"Wowie!" I have no aging of
TOPPING TP60, and I put them in place. But this
combination highlights accurate and matchless sound
image like monitor speakers: distinct auditory
lateralization of full-range drivers and low-tone
to high-tone range over size. Unlike high-capacity
speakers, my body didn't feel a bass tone but it came out
enough with a good feeling.
UMU-131XS reproduces even
the air in classic music, luster of voice in vocal music,
unbroken sound in hard rock and the edge of sound in a
big-beat sound. UMU-131XS has a wide range of musical
genre, and I hate putting big loudspeakers in my
room. So, UMU-131XS fits my demand perfectly; or
rather, it's much more than that. I couldn't stop
thinking about the viewpoint and the way of
recording because the sound reproducibility was
too high. Listening to some CDs, I noticed the poorness
of sound image in J-pop music.
Anyway, I want to
enjoy listening to music after so long. This is my
impression about UMU-131XS. I will
purchase. |

Thank you
for renting UMU-131XS. I have been using bass reflex of
DIY Audio SA/F80AMG. And I have been suffering from my
DIY project for a first backloaded horn speaker.
I
could enjoy a soft sound, a sensitive wide-range
expression, a scale beyond my imaginings and a
stress-free sound by the UMU-131XS. There is a lack of
a bass tone compared with my bass reflex, but I'm very
surprised to hear the bass tone of UMU-131XS because it
came out naturally and vividly. The piano and the violin
were fresh sound. Beautiful!
And live DVD
was so clear vocal. I thought that it will make more high
realistic sensation if I put some UMU-131XS to the right
and the left.
It is particularly worth noting that it
was as interesting for me to play a CD through SONY CD
Walkman by ordinary all-in-one stereo. It honestly never
entered my mind that I would listen to classical music
through CD Walkman as BGM. I was really touched by this
the best. I had the impression that UMU-131XS plays a
perfect music by near-at-hand equipment.
Thank you
for a very satisfying sound quality and quality
time.

Mr.Kawamura, Hokkaido. December 2015 |
I received
UMU-121SS, and connected it to my amplifier without
delay. I was an audiophile in my junior and senior high
school years, but have gotten away from it after I had
grown up.
My child never gets up early in the
morning. So I considered buying a minicomponent
system instead of an alarm clock. I found out about
Hasehiro backloaded horn speakers through the
Internet.
The moment I heard the sound, I was moved
and near to tears. In reality my eyes were filled with
tears. I can feel the resonance of a musical instrument
in classical music. I can feel the movement of a bow on
the strings. That has an overwhelhelming resolution and
localization of sound, the spread of sound field, a good
voice coil with magnet and a power. It is a long years
since I lost my interest in audio, but I can
definitely tell a difference in the sound.
I did
not expect much from UMU-121SS. So, I feel sorry towards
Hasehiro, and thank you very much for the good
product. |

Pref. July 2014 |
I replaced FOSTEX
G850 with UMU-121SS, and tried to listen to music for
several hours. I was able to clearly confirm that it is
not cheap sound. I am really looking forward to the aged
sound. I am surprised that UMU-121SS is around the same
price as a decent audio cable.
What is
the value of an article?
I had UMU-121SS teach
me the profundity and the enjoyment of audio
anew. Thank you very much.

Mr.M, Chiba
Pref. February 2011 |
Today, I received
UMU-121SS. I send a very present impression about
it.
UMU-121SS has a thick sound for just 5cm
drivers. I think it is meant for acoustic music such
as jazz and chamber music. I like the sound of midrange
such as a guitar, piano and violin. I feel comfortable
with a reasonable natural bass.
Several years ago, I
heard Hasehiro sound for the first time at A&V
Festa, and I was amazed by the gap between
the speaker size and the sound coming from the
speaker. But the price was a bit too expensive for
me because I was a student. This time, I was looking for
a small grounded speaker. UMU-121SS was proper size for
the place to put the speakers. So I took the plunge and
bought UMU-121SS.
I look forward to changing the
sound. |
