Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale?

I have no such problems in the highs with my Rockport Altair's. I'll put them up against any electrostat  or ribbon speaker. I hate Heil tweeters in all speakers I have heard them in.

Scansonic are indeed "the poor mans Raidho" ... the blurb I heard by the distro (at AXPONA) was that "Scansonic have a lot of the Raidho DNA" since Michael Borreson designed both - which seems to be a reasonable claim.
Hearing that top-of-the-line  Raidho-Aavik-Ansuz system all together (at Blink) was great, but it's hard to judge exactly *what* I heard other than I heard one bad muvva of a system, unobtainable by a mere mortal like myself ... but there certainly is some deep discounting to be had for ex-demos in the high-end in general - per A'gon listings.

One thing I *cannot* criticize about Raidhos is the top end range. I live with these speakers and that tweater and they work wonderfully well for all sorts of music (from [glorious] pre-war Delta blues to modern minimal techno dub), so the comment by bo1972 is one I really cannot agree with. But that's OK, each to their own.

I must admit - I was also torn between Rockports and Raidhos. I will certainly demo Rockports along with Raidho's when I next upgrade.

I have never heard a Rockport I didn't like.

Bo - distortion in the tweeter. Dude you just lost all credibility with me. I have yet to hear a more open 3 dimensional sound from any speaker. Maybe you should go on a worldwide tour with your magic and convince us all. BTW are the Audioquest still the best cables ever made?

Mapman you are right, the kef ls50 are amazing , although I like my technic one driver, Iam waiting to buy use for collection.Audiophile they do change gear more often, especially those who can afford them.iam sure the Raidho are excellent speakers, but also how you use them...I would love to own them.. but can't afford them...
