In fact, the company name is nod to the old shoe polish company. Shinola is headquartered in Detroit and prides itself on craftsmanship and old world values.

The Shinola Bookshelf Speaker system was a partnership with Barefoot Sound, a well-respected maker of studio monitors.

I spent many hours listening to the Shinola Bookshelf Speakers with just about every type of music. At a non-insignificant price of $1500 dollars, I expected good sound and that’s what I got. The speakers contain their own amplifiers, so they are a perfect match for the speaker design. The speakers have a variety of inputs, but are designed with Bluetooth playback in mind.

The Shinola Bookshelf Speakers are aimed at someone who wants exceptional sound in a small to midsize room, and someone who wants a minimum of supporting components.

I found the speakers easy to hook up, with clear instructions that really weren’t needed since inputs and outputs are clearly marked on the rear of the speakers.

I thought the Shinola Speakers were that rare pair of bookshelf speakers that did quite well without a subwoofer and they could throw a realistic 3D soundstage in my listening room.

There’s quite a bit to say about these speakers, and how they compare to other small speaker systems being offered at similar prices. Look for my review coming soon.
