Holy Shindo!

The ad mentions 'the Shindo dealer in NY'. Anyone know if that is In Living Stereo?
 
I requested to view some Pictures--Nix/nada--guess they smell the curious--even so the pictures are sparse and none of the TT

Indeed, unless he paid 150+ for the speakers, seems unlikely..

I believe this system has been on the market for a while, just not quite so publicly. An acquaintance told me about it at least 6 months ago, and the figure was substantially lower than being asked now. I guess the owner has traded it and the dealer is trying to flip it?..

Latours are what? 70,000 or 80,000. Custom designed one off Shindo speakers with three field coils each were probably well past the Latour range.

Are you guys missing the whole point of these speakers? Custom designed and built by a Master that is dead. Most likely the only pair ever built like that. If I played in that league I would buy them in a heartbeat.

I once listened at length to his Vosne Romanee pre-amp. It was spectacular. I unfortunately require remote capabilities, so she'll never be mine. :(

The seller on Audiogon is not the owner and he is not a dealer. It is, I suspect, Jeffrey Jackson...as you can see, the Audiogon seller name is Experience Music.

I realise it's not the owner. I did see the name and thought it might have been Jeffrey Jackson but didn't bother looking into it further (low feedback, etc). Dealer/Manufacturer, just semantics really.

Perhaps, but really just another pair of drivers (+ associated modifications, power supply), the horns (JBL 537-500) are more easily obtainable than those used in the Latour, cabinets appear more complicated. Of course we're all just speculating, maybe Jonathan can share more information.

You will not be sorry purchasing a VR. I listen to mine nearly every night and am still amazed at the detail and musicality it brings to the presentation. Go for it.

Mark - here is my best advice: don't ever audition Shindo gear. It will ruin you. It has a haunting, goosebump inducing, magical, beautiful sound that I have never heard from any other tube based system. Even the lower priced Shindo gear has such a haunting magical quality. I prefer it to the best of the best tube gear I've heard - including Audio Note and anything else I can drum up in my brain from past listening.

Not to start a whole war/fight, but my issue with Shindo is two fold: SOME owners are downright nasty if someone even hints that Shindo might not be to their liking (for whatever reason, even though they've probably never heard it). Note to Shindo owners: your sh!t is the best I've heard, it's probably the best you've heard, you know it, I know it, 99.99999999999999% of everyone who has ACTUALLY HEARD Shindo knows it - so stop worrying....laugh at the fools who have never heard it, but yet have offer opinions on Shindo.

Second, I think Shindo gear is so good it has a wider application than JH is prepared to admit. Don't believe it? Email Shindo Japan like I did and ask them about pairing Tannoy (or something similar) with Shindo and you will likely get a two thumbs up response like I did.

Yes, yes, yes, I get the whole synergy thing....but synergy extends beyond brands being carried by a certain distributor is carrying. Why? Because no one could possibly know all the good, better, best combinations. Why? Because combinations are near limitless.

Back to the topic at hand....that turnkey Shindo system would be a dream for any Shindo owner/prospective owner.

Mike....

I am impressed how your Shindo love grew up.
Without knowing you well, I think again about some PM's we had about a pair of speakers that you once had and sold.


You must be clearly a Music lover.
Shindo, like some other brands, are made for music lovers. Not for sound lovers.
They allow us to connect better with the artistic performance.
I am less and less impressed by systems who make little music and "impressive" sounds.
Systems who put you deep in the performance are pretty rare and become easily identified when we educate ears.

I don't want to derail this Shindo thread, but I have found a pair of speaker cables that does exactly that in my system. They simply connect you deeper inside of the performance. It's like someone came into your room and removed unnecessary components from your system that were creating barriers between you and the music. Back to Shindo.

Viero Equilibrio Level 3 speaker cables. Hopefully my review will be published shortly. I happen to know another reviewer who currently has these cables that I reviewed in his system for a follow-up review. ;) I miss those cables dearly.

Mark, you obviously missed the memo: Cables Don't Matter. :P
 
If you guys are interested in gorgeous, field coil based, Shindo friendly type speakers, I would urge you to contact Jonathan and look at the New A23 based speakers using LM drivers.

Yes, but not in person. They are quite new. 2 way. Field coils. That LM tweeter is supposed to be out of this world good.
