Shahinian Diapasons are the top speaker from the Brilliant mind of Richard Shahinian. These speakers are a true music lovers speaker and the reference of John Marks of Stereophile. They are omni-directional and have amazing dynamics that really get the weight of an orchestra like few other speakers. I am the second owner of these speakers and they have been cared for as prized possessions.
Richard Shahinian knows more about classical music than almost anyone alive. He has also been a concert master and Shahinian Acoustics has been in existence at least 30 years! His room at CES was always known as a musical oasis in the sea of HiFi.
From the Website" You may imagine, then, my amazement at "colliding" with that elfin wordsmith, J. Gordon Holt, a man who loves, digests and writes about music. Yes, music! Over the years I may have ignored his work as much as he overlooked mine, but considered it essential to acquire any recording he mentioned in print. Well, the very unlikely has happened: We have befriended one another. Imagine, a journalist and crazy me! In the April 1990 issue of Stereophile, he has embarrassed me with an omnibus article on me, the "Diapason," audiophiles, music, philosophy, etc. I am grateful for his kindness and perceptive observations, but more than anything for a most magical evening in our exhibit room at winter C.E.S., where we (and a few others) spent about three hours listening to music including the whole of Copland's 3rd symphony (Levi, Atlanta, Telarc), ending with applause.
For a brief time, we were transported to Symphony Hall Atlanta. It happened ...I was there. See you soon, Gordon."
