 Mr.Watanabe, Osaka Pref. 
 
October 2010
FOSTEX F200A WCW-F200A
 
Thank you very much for all that you have done for me.
WCW-F200A arrived at my home last Saturday in the rain.
I removed furniture and cleaned the living room
for place to put WCW with my wife.
We put YAMAHA NS-1000M that I had used away, and we placed
WCW-F200A in the middle of the living room.
WCW-F200A's tincture fits perfectly with the colors of furniture
in the living room.
My amp is LUXMAN, and I bought it around the same time
as YAMAHA NS-1000M.
This spring, it had a complete overhaul by LUXMAN.
I will not be able to do without it with analog player
for no special reason.

My family loves music.
Someone enjoys listening to music, or plays an instrument on holidays.
In severe cases, my home echoes with a flute, a piano
and a brass horn at the same time.
Response of such a family to WCW-F200A is:
My wife likes it.
Every night she listens to music in the bedroom.
It has received a favorable reception from my daughter,
especially the tone color. She plays the piano.
I made the right choice.

I learned about electronic engineering at college.
So, I understand the distinction of physical structure between
YAMAHA NS-1000M and WCW-F200A.
But I'm not remotely interested in audio magazine-like controversy,
and I can't evaluate it, too.
The sound reminded me of that feeling of my memory;
Several years ago, I got a long-cherished handmade flute
after three years of waiting from ordering.
It was subtly different tone color from the flute that I had used
many years.
I felt that the well-wrought handmade flute insists its own individuality.
I listened to the sound, I felt that WCW-F200A is like a work of art.
Thank you for making "great instrument WCW-F200A" for me.

The Cherry WCW-F200A
FOSTEX F200A

I hated to impose, thank you very much for customizing me
the custom-made cherry WCW-F200A.
The cherry WCW-F200A were completed after more than 6 months
from the meeting with you.

I listened to the sound about 3 weeks.
At first the high note had a hard core, so I got tired from listening.
But now there is no more it, and the sound increased the richness.
That's lifelike loudspeakers.
The enclosures seem to be getting more distinctive resonance,
belong with the whole cherry WCW-F200A
since I began playing the sounds of wind instruments
such as tenor saxophone on loud.
I put my hands on the enclosure when I'm listening,
the sound clouded over because I suppressed
its distinctive resonance temporarily.
The cherry WCW-F200A have high sound reproducibility.
So, now I enjoy the world of Toru Takemitsu
without leaving home at all.

I made the speaker stands for the cherry WCW-F200A,
and raised the listening position.
So, the sound emitted from the backloaded horn was spread
and they are reproducing realistic three-D sound field.
There is the entrance door to the drying room of guitar making
in the room, so I put up urethane wheels to the speaker stands,
which doubles as a vibration-proof effect.
Additionally, the floor material is hardwood timber.
They prevent the propagation of noise, and seem to be having
a good effect on the sound.

The cherry WCW-F200A pick up too much detail,
and also have too high sound reproducibility.
So, I custom-ordered heavy drapery for acoustic absorption.
Sense of tension is gone by its effect.


Cherrywood WCW-F200A
 
Cherrywood is precious material.
In Japan, it is used to the hallmarks of
traditional Japanese musical instruments as the best material.
None of them such as the hardness, the specific gravity
and the density are low. But they aren't too high.
It emphasizes the sound detail from the excellent propagation of sound
when produced a structure.
That is why it is heralded for generations since ancient times
as instrumental material.

Strong magnet vibrates the thin cone, and amplifies the bass
through the hard concrete horn, then releases the sound energy
with a subtle delay.

The WCW structure with cherrywood property is remarkably similar
to the principle of sound energy conversion of
musical instrument produced by me.

Cherrywood WCW-F200A
WCW-F200A made from cherry wood
 
That's the instrument to play the musical sound.
The WCW is simply a masterpiece.
Please make the cherry WCW-F200A if the music fan is going to insist.

Send my thought as a sound craftsman to you.
None like the loudspeakers in the world.
The cherry WCW-F200A are a very valuable loudspeakers
from a historic perspective.

I only get one life.
I just thank God that I met the cherry WCW-F200A.
I enjoy the emotive musics with tears in my eyes.
I want to try new things, too.
Best wishes in your future business endeavors.

FOSTEX F200A WCW-F200A

I received WCW-F200A in late July.
I thought the origin is good, but I felt something different.
So, I have waited for comment.

I therefore sounded nonstop for 2 days at full blast.
However, despite the megavolume, single-ended tube amplifier (9W).
As a result, the high-tone range came out gradually, but I still felt
something different.
Hmm... it may need speaker stands.
I had put WCW on top of the audio rack directly until then.
I found
wooden blocks at do-it-yourself store, and I bought 8 blocks.
It was a great success.

Now, nearly 2 months after that, I remark on WCW.
But it is comparison with D-57 (designed by Mr.Tetsuo Nagaoka).

The Comparative Disadvantage:
I feel like I have a low efficiency for backloaded system because of
the single-ended tube amplifier.
It sounds rudely when I turn up the volume.
And I don't feel large scale organization when I listen to a symphony
by full-blown symphony orchestra.

The Comparative Advantage:
The range is not so great, but the balance is so great.
So, I can listen to chamber music, pop music, etc.
without any dissatisfaction.
And my favorite is, all kinds of sounds are completely natural and live.
A life-size vocal performer sang in front of me
without the close my eyes in any genre of music such as operatic,
pop, jazz music, etc. It gave me goose bumps.

 Mr.K, Toyama City 
 
September 2010

Hello, Hasehiro.
It was my great pleasure to receive RR-10PA13 day after day
since I ordered it in early August.

I listened to the backloaded horn sounds first at your listening room.
All of Hasehiro tones had an amazing clear sounds
that I haven't listened before.
My own ears was really overwhelming from first to last.

I loved RR-10PA13 at first sight and listening.
Now RR-10PA13 always plays music when I am in my room.
It doesn't play muffled sound, but it has the warmth and soft tone.

Once I start listening to the sound, it's hard to stop.
I love the rounded figure, too.
That was a little over my budget because it was about JPY100,000.
But I have no regrets, and in fact I am greatly pleased
with RR-10PA13.
I will visit your listening room again.
 

 January 2012 
Happy New Year!
Please excuse me for not writing so long.
I'm K I bought RR-10PA13 in 2010.

My RR-10PA13 sits down in place and plays music even now.
I often listen to vocal music, and feel approaching sound
in emotional parts.
RR-10PA13 gives a clear picture of even the expression
on band member's face.
Just like singing prowess varies depending on the lung-power,
the song and the emotion,
I see loudspeaker has a technology element
and an artistic element.
I feel blessed to listen to my favorite musics through my favorite color.
 
 
 Mr.Fuse, Ota-ku, Tokyo
 
October 2009

custom-ordered RR-10
 

Good evening, I'm Fuse. I sent the sound of RR-10
(custom-ordered painting color and drivers FOSTEX MG100HR-S)
at the beginning of October.

I don't know about the backloaded horn sound since I had just heard
the sound in your listening room.
So I listened to the sound with both concerns and hopes in my mind.
The sound was a disappointment at the beginning,
revealed bad high note, low-pitched tone and also resolution.
I placed insulators under the RR-10s and I angled the RR-10s.
But nothing changed...  I really blew it...

I kept playing various musics and movies in hope of aging effect.
Spent an entire day, I felt better.
Thereupon I listened to the familiar sound.
The sound changed to the higher resolution and volume level
than yesterday. I have some leads...

I turned up the amp and I kept aging until the third day.
I could feel the volume up, increase in force of low-pitched tone
and enhancement of resolution.
As a result, I did the setting again.
I continue to feel the betterment of the sound quality.
Recently, RR-10 plays a wonderful sound with
just a 10cm full-range speaker driver.
Especially the low-pitched tone requires no subwoofer
when music appreciation.
The trouble is that RR-10 writes open and above-board
even if it is compressed sound source.
So I'm ripping them by uncompression again.

I felt that I was taking a big risk because I don't know
about the backloaded horn sound.
Now I'm so glad I bought RR-10, and I really appreciate your response
to my special request of delicate violin color.
Thank you very much.

I received PMP-131SS. Thank you for the careful work.

The echo in my house is so natural
because it is about 40 square meters of the floor space
with a vaulted ceiling, and the walls are diatomaceous earth.
I can play a stereo at full blast even late at night because of
the geographical distance of neighboring house.


My system is cheap all-in-one stereo,
a few years old.
When I listen to the sound of PMP-131SS
on the staircase landing of the second floor
at reasonable volume, it sounds like
I am listening the music on the 5th floor area
from a classical music concert
at the first floor of a high-rise building
with open ceiling space.

I have wanted the sound of this for so long.

I immediately put 
Corian board
under PMP-131SS, and
I listened to the sound on the first floor
at full blast.

"Wow! Wowie! Great!"
It brought endless surprises.


PMP-131SS

PMP-131SS spread acoustic field with a rich undertone
for small drivers and enclosures.

A small PMP-131SS assimilates into the living space,
and it doesn't
make its presence known.
It gives the product much of an advantage.
I could confirm that it is big enough to listen to music at my house.
 
 
 Mr.H, Kanagawa Pref. 
 
July 2009
(He purchased an end-of-life Hasehiro limited production model
PMP-151S, and it has VERAVOX 5S)

I received PMP-151S today.
I was surprised by the beautiful paint.

Until now, I was using YAMAHA NS-10MT for nearly 10 years.
I set up PMP-151S not to put my fingerprints
on the beautiful glossy surface while listening to music on NS-10MT.
Can it destroy the stereotypical image that a speaker depends
almost entirely on the size of the enclosure
and the diameter of the speaker driver?
I look forward to hearing it.

Angela Aki
At first, it was hard and dried sound.
I felt a narrow range, too.
After about 20 minutes... Gosh! What!?
I was moved by a real gentle vocal and piano, also a rich bass sound.
YAMAHA NS-10MT has a listener-friendly refreshed sound, but
PMP-151S already transcends NS-10MT in the realities of her vocal
and her piano playing.

Dione Taylor
The sound changes fast while listening.
The range were spreading and it got more and more a reality.
The sound don't come out from VERAVOX 5S, it comes out
from the whole PMP-151S in a radial manner.

Hasehiro backloaded horn speakers are so great!
No wonder "Hasehro Horn is for music lovers who want to listen
to music with delight".

I made a great buy, thank you so much.

 Mr.Murata, Tokyo 
 
June 2009
(He purchased an end-of-life Hasehiro limited production model
PMP-151S, and it has VERAVOX 5S)

I received PMP-151S.
I fully listened to the sound at the end of last week.
I was prepared to take some time to aging because of
a single full-range speaker driver.
Maybe it will be a hard sound with a narrow range for a few months.
However, it played in a listener-friendly tone from the beginning.
PMP-151S betrayed me in good meaning.
But it was a narrow range, especially I felt a lack of a bass tone.

However, the lowrange were spreading after ten minutes.
I heard the sound of contrabass body after an hour.
Naturally, I think the absolute bass volume is not so loud.

Because I think a giant self-standing model like
the late Tetsuo Nagaoka's b
ackloaded horn is necessary
if want overwhelming bass by backloaded horn at 40 to 50Hz.
But I learned it quickly that the search for catalog data of PMP-151S
is absolute nonsense.
Because the sound is so great!

About three hours later, the sound that I has never heard
from a speaker before came out from PMP-151S
from one minute to the next.
Of course the piano is great like pianoblack.
My surprise was saxophone.
Subtone is so real!
I assure you this is a genuine sound of the saxophone
because I play tenor sax.
Nylon string of the guitar was vibrating in front of me
when I listened to bossa nova.
Obviously, singing voice is great, too!

I never believed CDs that are familiar to me would be this throb!
Moreover, it brings me peace and comfort!
What is going to happen to the PMP-151S after several months?
I can't imagine.
These are my honest feedback.
I made a great buy, thank you so much.
I'm not exaggerating to help your ads, and these are my real feedback.

March 2009

(He purchased custom-ordered PMP-131SS.)

I settled into a job, so I could listen to the sound at last.
Truthfully, I am surprised.
 The combination of wood cone driver and backloaded horn system
surpassed my expectation.
After all, the sound is unthinkable grandeur from seeing the largeness.
You said to me,
"At first, you should listen to the sound with closed eyes."
Now, I see what you're saying.

DCU-F101W
DCU-F101W
 
I am using DENON DCD-CX3 (CDP) and Triode TRV-84HD (Amp).
So I worried about power shortages for PARC Audio DCU-F101W.
However, such worries proved to be groundless.
The volume control is enough, 20 to 30%.

Usually, I have heard jazz piano and saxophone, etc.
That's fused speaker, the solid sound of a small full-range driver,
the resounding backloaded sound and the wet sound of wood cone.
That's gentle healing sound.
But that's not dopey sound, that's tightly-contained sound.

Besides that, it's still shakedown sound.
I'm looking forward to it ahead. I'll be counting on you.

I received PMP-141S at the end of the last month.
I'm sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.

I set up PMP-141S and listened to the sound on that day of receipt.
My wife is unfussy about sound but she said, "Oh, this is good.
Anyone including me can see the difference in sound."

It was such a good sound from the beginning.

About one month has passed, PMP-141S plays music
with a very good sound.

The vocal is so great.
It has a mild shiny tone and yet a strong core, too.
In particular, I am captivated by singing voice when I listen to jazz.
Recently, PMP-141S plays Emi Fujita and noon's albums all the time.

The piano and the guitar are so great, too.
It is a lot of fun when I listen to nifty guitar work of Akio Yokota.
I'm very pleased about vividness of a guitar because I play it.

PMP-141S is great speaker system to enjoy music.
I listen to jazz, mainly.
But I listen to Tristan Prettyman, Marié Digby and rock music
during a meal.
Of course, the guitar is so great.
I also listen to Spitz and Southern All Stars by my wife's taste
for music.
They are a lot of fun, too. Thank you for great speaker.

Thank you for the warm welcome you extended to me
while I was there.
For the first time, I experienced
authentic backloaded curved horn sound at your listening room.

The sound changed my image of the backloaded horn sound.
It is generally defined as a very effective system
for bass reproduction.
But Hasehiro backloaded horn system comes out the sound
from high to low pitch tone smoothly.
It has a convincing sound to listener.
So, I didn't feel like "the high note is this, the bass tone is that",
because it has a well-balanced sound,
and these sound quality have a natural connection.

In other words,
I didn't feel the backloaded horn habit like a resonant tube
to the Hasehiro backloaded horn system.
The low range from the horn opening is in harmony
with the radiated mid-high range from the driver.

Particularly, PMP-141S is great
and it has a well-balanced quality and range.
At least, PMP-141S is placed the highest rank
among the 8cm single full-range driver systems.
Specifically singing voice and piano sound were real.
I was moved by the most natural sound regardless of the genre.

I myself produce the DIY speaker system.
Accordingly, I want to use PMP-141S as a target reference speaker.
So, I will go for PMP-141S.
I will come to your garage factory to pick up PMP-141S
after completion.
 
 September 2008
PMP-141S I bought in July has progressed the aging.
So I report on the present sound.

As may be expected of adhesively-laminated enclosure, it
resonates little. So, I can turn up the volume tolerably.
Thick cashew coated film has shown a significant effect
on the sound, too.
This makes a wide acoustic field.
Cashew coating is great.

It has a voluminous bass outside the diameter of Vifa 10BGS 119/8.
Naturally, it doesn't have a deep bass, but I don't feel a lack of bass.
I think this sound is the backloaded system.

Overall impression on the sound is "beautiful" at any rate.
It is so ear-pleasing sound.
Conversely, it is "too much beautiful" sound, especially the sound of
the piano.
Low and high range balance is great because I decided to buy it
for its piano sound and a balanced range.
PMP-141S dosen't play with disagreeable sound in any CD.

But it has a little bit of trouble with "vivid sound"
such as snapping sound of jazz live and the realities of tone color
and texture.
However, I think they come from the attributes of Vifa 10BGS 119/8.
So, the impression seems changeable by the driver.

The speaker in a photo with PMP-141S is my own speaker "ASURA-II".
I entered it to the DIY speaker competition 2008
hosted by
stereo magazine.
It uses 3 Vifa TG9FD-10-04 (8cm), but 1 Vifa 10BGS 119/8 (10cm)
on PMP-141S has a more voluminous bass.

I'm looking forward to a new speaker using a different driver.
I will come to your listening room again someday.

\ Report from Hasehiro \

Mr.Matsu visited Hasehiro listening room to buy 
SSC compound
in March of this year.
He wanted to paint it on ASURA-II before the competition.
He won the Vice-Grand Prix at the DIY speaker competition 2008
for ASURA-II.

He revisited Hasehiro listening room to report the prize
with his wife and ASURA-I on his car in July of this year.
He unloaded ASURA-I from his car, and set up them.

I was amazed by the beautiful finish.
He coated ASURA series with cashew paint by himself, but it is
a professional-level beautiful mirror finish.
They used style-obsessed items such as a screw, and the appearance
is like a skyscrapers.
I felt like they are artistic objects instead of thinking of the speakers.
 
ASURA-I
ASURA-I
 
He took a hint from the 3D field speaker "HYDRA"
made by
Mr.Tetsuo Nagaoka, and produced ASURA series.
Without doubt, it was a unheard-of strange acoustic field
just like a 3D acoustic field speakers.

The sound spread the whole of space, and it has a stress-free tone.
When I listened to the sound with bending down to look at the details,
I heard high-hat cymbals from the higher position than the roofs
of the skyscrapers.
I asked him about the peculiar phenomenon.
According to him, it appears due to the effect of
the diagonal reflecting boards on the roofs of the skyscrapers.

The drivers are AIR WAVE hexagon-frame flat diaphragm (8cm).
He says that the acoustic field is located at the back of the driver
with the flat diaphragm feature.
 

ASURA-I
 
The more I see of ASURA,
I learn the greatness of the working accuracy.
He produced most parts of ASURA by himself, such as lumber cutting,
assembling and coating.
When I think the work, I have a high regard for his perseverance.

I like to "make products" and I was interested in DIY kit
for Hasehiro backloaded horn speaker.
So I listened to Hasehiro sound in some Hasehiro events.
As a result, I purchased UMU-131SSKN with DIY Audio SA/F80AMG because of not only small in size but also comfortable sound level.

I wavered choosing the paint.
Usual synthetic resin coating is commonly-used paint
and it has already precedent for cashew coating.
Hmm... A light bulb went off in my head.
I decided to authentic lacquering.
I decided to one of Tsugaru-lacquer of traditional 
"Kara-nuri"
and I requested it to the craft center of Hirosaki City.

"Kara-nuri" takes over 50 lacquering processes
and the feature is distinctive pattern.
Compared with the lacquering, the sound tightened on the whole
and the midrange with the high-tone range sharpened,
it has become more powerfully.
What is your impression of Tsugaru-lacquer?

I decided two-tone coating for the last time.
I used automotive urethane coating material because that is
have a wider variety of a commercial colors.
But automotive coating material is not for wood so I painted
the base and the protective coating, too.

That took up and has improved the localization of sound
as compared with before painting.

I wanted to put UMU-131XS on a low table.
So, I put
granite stones on a low table and I put them
on the granite stones.

A digital amplifier is KENWOOD Prodino KAF-A55, and I connected
to a notebook machine using USB connection cable.
And also, I was hoping to connect via fiber optics of
ONKYO ND-S1 digital media transport to iPod nano.
But I didn't get ONKYO ND-S1 during UMU-131XS lending period.
So, I used KENWOOD Prodino KAF-A55 on an analog line, too.

UMU-131XS sound is more than the size and it has not
annoying habits.
It plays anything such as classical, J-pop, jazz, bossa nova,

Although it would be proper to go off to your listening room to listen,
but it's difficult to find the time to do it.
Please lend me UMU-131XS.

I returned UMU-131XS with strong reluctance.
UMU-131XS played gorgeous sound than I imagined.

In my work, I listened to classical music.
The most surprising point was solid musical instruments and voices.
That is not the audio sound and also hi-fi sound.
It is the sound that suggests self-instruments and self-voices.

I thought it is hopeless for UMU-131XS to ask for undertone and expansiveness from the point of view of the body size.
But that concern proved unfounded.
A bevy of undertone of cello and contrabass
such as Beethoven's Symphony approachs me
with their overwhelming presence.
It seems that they are different music.

Further highlight for me was a chamber music of small format and
a song of piano accompaniment.
It was surprising for me, the atmosphere of musical instruments
and the sound localization.

The trial listening was 5 days long but UMU-131XS proved own worth.
I could experience the magnificence to listen to music
with a good sound.
Thank you so much! I will come to your listening room sometime soon.
Among them, I'm interested in UMU-131SS.

I am working for composition, arrangement, mixing and guitarist.
I usually face up to the hard sound of a standard studio speaker
for a long stretch of time.
So I often get tired to hear sound.

Among these programs,
one of my friend once made backloaded horn speaker.
It reminded me of that.
Accordingly, I purchased UMU-131XS.
That's small and cute but not kill the sound,
and I can hear the sounds sweet.

I received UMU-121SS today!
Until now, I was using TIMEDOMAIN mini.

I was surprised.
It is a nondirectional speaker, but amazingly,
UMU-121SS doesn't have directivity than TIMEDOMAIN.
I knew backloaded horn speaker is high directivity but that is not
the case with UMU-121SS.

It's certainly a gentle tone.
It's not too soft and it moderately leave a tense feeling.
So, it doesn't produce a feeling of strangeness.
In particular, the sound of a string and a recorder are good.
Throughout the music I could sense the player's feelings
when I listened to recorder music.

But sibilant such as "s" and "z" was disagreeable to my ear,
when I listened to vocal music.

UMU-121SS just came here.
So, I will learn something new almost every day.

I'm looking forward to it.
I'm lucky enough that I encountered a good speaker.
Keep up the fantastic work. Thank you very much.

Thank you for making to me
so wonderful speaker system!
 
Especially when I listen to female vocal music and strings,
it's a feeling captured in an indescribable mood.
I cherish startling moment.
It touches my heart even old amplifier.
UMU-121SS mounted with DCU-F071W driver has different levels of
feminine charms and coquetry.

Today, UMU-121SS came to me.
I listened to Kaori Muraji "Concierto de Aranjuez" without eating.

It's a clear sound and the same sound that the real acoustic G string.
It precisely reproduces the chattering vibration of low E string,
rounded sound of gut string and metallic sound of steel string.
On the other hand, it permit the distinction
between stringed instrument and wind instrument.
It's a very good sound not only bass but also high note
such as piccolo, and thick orchestra, too.

It amazes me that the smallness.
 

 August 2010

I am listening to
The Beatles "(remastered) Please Please Me"

Such smallness, but amazing color!
The sound is so clear like rounded tone of semi-acoustic Höfner bass,
pesante and sharp tone of Rickenbacker
and a beautiful high-pitched tone of Gretsch.
Above all, I develop an illusion that they are singing in front of me.

Chorus part precisely reproduces and it is clear,
so that's tablature score.
Spread of sound is excellent from high to low-pitched tone.

It's too bad I can't emit a loud sound because I live in an urban area.
But UMU-121SS has given perfect satisfaction even such a situation.
How about "Little Giant" as a nickname?
