Lars Kristensen and Michael Børresen leaving Raidho ...


Not sure if this has been commented on already but it looks like two lead players in Raidho are moving on to be full time with Aavik & Ansuz.

Any thoughts?

Time has been running fast. It is now 15 years ago Michael Børresen and I started Raidho Acoustics.
We have been designing, manufacturing, marketing, developing, selling until the end of last month Raidho speakers. What a lovely time and what a fantastic trip. Of cause it is very sad to leave our babies behind us.

But when that said, we now will use our whole time to do the same job for our 2 new babies, Ansuz Acoustics and Aavik Acoustics ,which both have been growing a lot in the last few years.

Hope that our distributors, dealers and consumers and friends will be around us.

Kind regards
Lars and Michael

Lars is hands down the best speaker demo person (host?  It’s early and I haven’t had coffee yet) in the industry. Raidho rooms at audio shows will never be the same. In fact, Lars is part of the reason I have such respect for Raidho speakers. Such incredible passion for sound and more importantly music. Same thing goes for Gamut.
Besides a great speaker demo person he sure knows how to demo Ansuz products as well. Michael is the brains behind the products. I've been at 2 different Ansuz cable demos and Lars has been at my home demoing Ansuz a couple of times. I have even heard the new Ansuz V2 Aluminum and Ceramic cables which should be released late summer or early fall. In case you're interested the new V2 Aluminum is much richer sounding than my Ceramic. But nothing beats the DTC...
I'm all giddy with excitement as I will be getting my D-TC loom next month. The "energerizer" box alone makes a difference when connected to the system by a power chord to the distibution bar - with nothing else plugged into it.

Agreed, Michael is certainly the brains and has a clear "vision" (bad word to use I guess) of the soundscape he is trying to conjure up - and with Lars' drive they seem to be making it happen - a great team (not forgetting Fritz of course).
Saying all this I >hope< Michael will still continue some form of relationship with Raidho, albeit just to consult and make sure all is well on his legacy.

No idea who the new guy, Rune Skov, is - although he knows how to take a selfie!
