Lowther PM2A
PM2A
 

There was no deep bass from 
MM-191T with LOWTHER PM2A.
So I upgraded MM-191T to MM-1101T, but the sound coming out
of the horn is a little soft.
Increasing the volume makes it possible to feel the power of the horn
with increased capacity by increasing the number of layered boards.
However, deep bass does not come out yet.

LOWTHER PM2A magnet is powerful, the cone paper is very light,
and Qts is 0.178.
Therefore, for the purpose of reducing the volume of the air chamber
and the purpose of further increasing the length of the horn,
as shown in the photograph below, when a board of 300 mm in length
was set in the air chamber, the effect was tremendous
and a powerful deep bass began to come out.
It is a wonderful sound.

For example, a longer and thicker board with a length of about 320 mm
and a thickness of about 10 mm is likely to give even better results.


MM-1101T with PM2A
A board set in an air chamber of MM-1101T
 
I have LOWTHER Acousta 109.
The horn length of Acousta 109 seems to be over 2.5 meters,
and by setting this board, the horn got longer by more than 0.3 meters
and the volume of the air chamber became smaller.
This board served a dual purpose.
 
Fostex FE208-Sol
FE208-Sol
Fostex FE208EΣ
FE208EΣ
 
I think that the same result as LOWTHER PM2A can be obtained with
FOSTEX FE208-Sol (Q0:0.15) and FE208EΣ (Q0:0.18)
 
Lowther PM6A
PM6A
 
Qts of LOWTHER PM6A is 0.343, so I think that
it will be a better result even if keep the original MM-1101T.
However, it is likely that negation will occur in the air chamber
if do not attach the speaker driver to the end of the air chamber.

 Mr.S, Niigata City 
 
August 2018

Thank you very much for making MM-161SK.
When unwinding polite packaging, calm dark brown color jumped
into my eyes.
It is heavily built firmly, and yet it is as good a size as possible.

I immediately heard a sound.
As I owned 
UMU-121SSR and knew the lively sound of Hasehiro back
loaded horn speakers, at the beginning MM-161SK sounded
a little sleepy.
Until now I have also used Fostex's bass reflex monitor speakers,
MM-161SK is a feeling that treble is emphasized too much
if it compares.

SAFARI
Toki Asako
The force of the electric base is short.

Anyway, I kept letting the MM-161SK with Audio Nirvana
Classic 5" Ferrite play. As expected... !
Fortunately three days passed, MM-161SK became familiar with
my system and a real vocal of Asako Toki came toward me
from the center!
Unlike the bass reflex monitor speakers, the electric bass is agile
when it says in a word. There is no unnaturalness.
Although it is said that backloaded horn speakers have a unique habit,
I think that Hasehiro horn speakers are a structure pursuing
the back loaded system ideal.
For that reason, it is a very lively sound, but I am not tired.
There is also a natural spread in the sound.
But I will continue with the aging more and more!
 

Placing a cypress universal
stand
purchased with
a home center on
a self-made board,
and supporting three
ebony dices on it.
MM-161SK became
the most stable
when placing 2 dices forward
and 1 dice behind.

From now on I will only have
MM-161SK!
I really liked MM-161SK
MM-161SK with Classic 5
MM-161SK with
Audio Nirvana Classic 5" Cast Frame
with Audio Nirvana Classic 5" Ferrite.
Even so, Audio Nirvana Classic 5" Cast Frame seems to be classic,
but it sounds good.
It seems to have expectations for further evolution of sound.
The edge is not urethane so it does not seem to worry about collapse.

Report from Hasehiro

I think that nearly 100% of people of audio fans are men.
However, in the autumn of last year we got an order for MM-151S
from a woman unusually.
She had the hope of assembling herself after SSC coating by herself
and mounting PARC Audio's wood cone driver.

She frequently asked for impregnation method of SSC and connection
method of SP cable before and after purchase of MM-151S eagerly
by e-mail.
Since the purchaser is a woman, I explained those more carefully
than usual.
According to the e-mail received after the completion of the speakers,
she is planning to open a wine bar in Tokyo within this year
and it was a pleasant news to use that speakers at that bar.

"When I wanted to make it a comfortable space and I was looking for
audio equipment, I finally arrived at Hasehiro backloaded speaker.
I'm going to connect a vacuum tube amplifier to these.
I'm really looking forward to hearing what kind of sound I can hear."

 

 Ms.S, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 
 February 2018
Three months have passed since opened.
SSC coated MM-151S with PARC Audio DCU-F121W plays
a gentle sound with a vacuum tube amplifier.
It is nice to be familiar with the image of the bar as well. Customers
also say "Speakers are good".
It is a photo of the opening of the bar, but I attach it.

I was concerned about the gap between the layered boards.
So just the other day, I re-tightened the screws and the sound
improved much more.
I was surprised and very pleased.
My attachment grew more and more.
I thought that I was good at picking Hasehiro Audio.
Thank you for the wonderful MM-151S.

Report from Hasehiro

We mounted Audio Nirvana Classic 5" Cast Frame on dark brown
mirror finished MM-161SK.

Audio Nirvana Classic 5" Cast Frame is excellent for playing
classical music as its name suggests.
It lacks the lightness of the sound because it is not aging at all,
but it will change to a radiant sound over time.

The same color speaker grill which received the order together
was also completed.
The speaker grill is fixed to the body perfectly
with several suction cups.

 Mr.Y, Ehime Pref. 
 February 2018
The dark brown mirror finished MM-161SK with Audio Nirvana
Classic 5" Cast Frame arrived yesterday.
It was carefully packed and I was excited when I unpacked it.
A deep dark brown shade and shininess produce a high-class feeling,
and the speaker grill symbolizes the full range proudly.
I was impressed with truly polite making.

Yesterday and today I listened to the sound for about 8 hours.
The sound that was hard and being withdrawn is gradually
becoming free.

Driven by Nmode X-PW1
Very strong, but shiny, it is a feeling that the sound comes forward.
Sound of piano and strings is beautiful.

Driven by LUXMAN L-510
It is rounded and sounds more shiner.
The low range is a little swollen, and I feel that the dignified feeling is
suitable for classical music.

Even now, the freedom of the midrange to the high range makes me
feel the height of potential of the dark brown mirror finished
MM-161SK with Classic 5" CF.
The bass range is solid enough to be unimaginable as 13cm.
I think that balance will be improved by future aging.
It has much information volume that is not comparable with
DALI ZENSOR 1, and sound field expression is well balanced and solid.
Is this good compatibility between Audio Nirvana Classic 5" CF
and
Hasehiro backloaded horn system?
And the aspect changes completely depending on
the listening position, so I will be more careful about listening points
than ever.
When the Corian board is laid down, a steady low range
comes out forward.
I'm glad I ordered together.
It's still a short time, but I felt everything about the splendor of
the dark brown mirror finished MM-161SK with Audio Nirvana
Classic 5" Cast Frame everywhere.
Thank you very much for making such a wonderful loudspeaker.

 Mr.N, Saitama Pref. 
 
November 2017
Received upgraded parts for MM-T such as layered boards,
so I tried remodeling from MM-191T to MM-1111T immediately.
 
I liked MM-191T with a very clear sound, but I tried remodeling it to
MM-1111T this time in order to improve the balance between
L.Cao FA6 Alnico's mid-low range and excessive treble.
 
MM-1111T with
MM-1111T with L.Cao FA6 MM-1111T with Audio Nirvana
L.Cao FA6 Alnico Audio Nirvana Super 8" CF

As you can see, I added the layered boards to the right and left
and thought that the front baffle boards for MM-191T could be used
as it was.
By doing that, I am easily exchanging L.Cao FA6 Alnico and
Audio Nirvana Super 8" Cast Frame and enjoying music.
I think that the stripes are arranged on the right and left
and it became a good design.

Regarding the sound,
the clear sound of MM-191T became even clearer and the bass
naturally became rich. Mid-range sound also increased.
For L.Cao FA6 Alnico,
I think that the capacity of MM-1111T was good.
Although it has rich bass, it does not get blurred. I am satisfied
that both classical and jazz are better than before because
the detailed sound became finer.
I like L.Cao with delicacy, but the appeal of the MM kit is that
it can enjoy other sound quality according to the mood at that time.

November 2017

Report from Hasehiro

We received an order to paint the speakers of MDF material

which that customer made.
We impregnated SSC compound
and applied urethane paint on it.

With a wonderful design,
it is a professional-looking finish that
I can not think of as his own work.
Matte-black urethane painting
made it more luxurious finish.

The driver units are
MarkAudio Alpair10 MAOP.
I think that there is also the effect of
SSC compound with urethane paint,
but they play a heavy and strong bass
that can not be thought of
as just 13cm driver units.
And it became clearly higher quality

own reverse backloaded
horn speakers
sound than before painting.

It is a revolutionary design with a triangle shape in reverse back
loaded horn system, and the opening is on the back upper part.


opening of the back upper part.
 
The sound quality is close to the bass reflex system,
and it is an intermediate feeling with the reverse back loaded
horn system.

Optional Extras for MM Reverse System
 
 Mr.A 
 
November 2017



 

The liquid crystal monitor is 27 inch.
Although it is large as a desktop use, it is well harmonized with
the diagonal baffle of my own speakers.
It seems that it was able to skillfully suppress the standing wave
inside the enclosures with a triangular reverse backloaded horn system
and there is no habit of disgusting sound.
the opening There is also the effect of
SSC coating, I do not have any fear
in the performance.
As a near field listening speaker,
this makes me feel immersed in music
with confidence.

Although the reverse back loaded
horn opening on the back looks larger
for rounding work, the actual port
opening is about 35% of
the effective area of the diaphragm.
Now I am trying to adjust the bass by stuffing the sponge a bit
to the port.

You finished in a beautiful paint, I was able to complete the ideal
PC speakers. Thank you very much.
I would like to ask for your cooperation when I make something
in the future again.

I bought PARC Audio coaxial 2-way speaker DCU-C172PP
and 
SSC coated MM-171.
 
I asked Hasehiro to make it
with 2 speaker terminals each
specially
so that it can respond
also to various purposes.
I replaced a fastening terminal
of MM-171 relay wiring
depending on the difference
in its terminal shape.

SSC coated MM-171 with PARC Audio DCU-C172PP
has been completed.
The tone control of the preamp is flat, and I am considerably lowering
the volume of the power amp for low range because the balance
between high and low is bad. Please listen to it on YouTube.

The volume of the low range is amazing!
It was good that I didn't buy a tallboy type where more bass sounds.
Even MM-171 may be over bass.
But I can adjust the crossing frequency of the channel divider,
the volume of the power amp for low range
and the tone control of the preamp.
I can enjoy even small volume because the bass is amazing.

September 2016
― Report from Hasehiro ―

Last Thursday, a couple came to Hasehiro listening room by using
connections of an airplane and a bullet train from Fukuoka pref.
The couple liked For Jazz Audio Fans Only with the best resolution
among them as a result of listening to several models that they wanted
a speaker system that can play the orchestra as it is,
but they were worried that the size was too big than planned.

Classic 5"
Classic 5" CF
 

So I let them listen to MM-151S
with Audio Nirvana Classic 5" Cast Frame which I tried before.
The couple was very satisfied with the power and resolution
not inferior to For Jazz Audio Fans Only,
although MM-151S was a shallow bookshelf type.
We got an order of the bonded type painted MM-161SK which added
1 set of layered boards.

 Mr.Watanabe, Fukuoka Pref. 
 July 2017
I am indebted for that passage.
It took time for aging because
there was not time to listen to
the music quite easily due to
the circumstances of work,
and finally it became possible to tell
the impression.

I am very satisfied
with the high degree of completion
of the speaker system.
The bonded type painted MM-161SK
with Audio Nirvana Classic 5"
Cast Frame plays colorful music
with very high resolution.

I recorded it on iPhone 5.
Although sound quality is inferior
due to recording on the iPhone,
but I think you can feel
MM-161SK with Classic 5"

the atmosphere that MM-161SK is playing with fine rich sound.
Thank you very much for making a wonderful speaker system this time.
