Any Shindo 604 AlNiCo owners here?

Perhaps the poster meant "original shindo"

talk about jumping to conclusions...
 
That's right, I meant that the crossover was an original Shindo creation and not the stock Altec one. The point being that, from what I've read, it was one of a suite of modifications that Shindo made to create a loudspeaker that transcended the performance of previous speakers using the 604 driver.
 
Ahh Schmitty, you're perfect, I tell ya. Perfect.

Apologies if this has been posted before (point me to it if it has), but has anyone heard the Auditorium 23 Hommage 22A yet?

It's a beautiful speaker for sure and I'm sure it would pair well with Shindo. Wondering if this speaker would be an upgrade from my Shindo 604's.

Anyone know the MSRP on the 22A?

Email Matt.

I suspect they would sound different then your 604's. To some better and to some not.

If my memory serves me they are around 75k. The they are the best looking speakers I have ever seen. Keith is an artist. There is a dealer who has a pair. You would need to fly there to listen.
 
I've been hoping that one of us Shindo guys would go for it and get them. Brian, could you be the one?

I haven't heard them. In Living Stereo keeps a pair on demo. Don Better has (had?) the Cinema Hommage on demo. Not sure about Matt.

Side trip: I did see them in 2013 on a visit to NYC at ILS, but they were in the lobby and I didn't get to hear them. When I walked over to the demo AlNiCo 604's, the sales guy said they were his favorite speakers. I asked if the FC versions were a lot better, and he said he didn't think so, and would order 604 AlNiCo's himself.

I agree that the A22's look fantastic. I believe that JH has them in his system, and he told my dealer that the Cinema and 22A may be his favorite speakers with Shindo gear. When I inquired about Shindo speakers, because of my listening room layout and the strong bass reinforcement provided by my walls, JH suggested that I look at the A22 and Cinema speakers since they have active adjustable woofers in the bottom enclosure, making it easier to tune lower frequencies. Budget prevented me from doing so, but if money were no object, they would be a top choice. Hopefully, the 604's will prove to be more manageable than rear firing speakers like the O/96s.
 
I can confirm that's not what the inside of mine look like

Sorry, but what the fuck does this have to do with shindo 604's? When did this thread become about some bozak speakers.

The problem with a stupid post like this is it is damaging to the brands being discussed. This photo has nothing to do with shindo or Auditorium.

Chris, I think Schmitt was trying to pass that picture off as being the inside of a 604. Kev and Omodo were just calling BS on his post. He lifted that photo off an old Bozak post. The subject hasn't changed... Unless I'm misreading this.
