Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale?


If Raidho speakers are so great, why are there so many pairs for sale here?  These are not inexpensive speakers by any means and it seems at least every other day there is a pair for sale with some people having them only a few weeks to a few months, and they are really taking a bath on them.  What gives?  Are they not as great as they are made to be?  Is Jonathan Valin a shill for the company?

I heard the 4.1 diamond at Blink High End north of Boston and was very unimpressed.  I have heard many other highly regarded speakers for much less money sounding wonderful.  So, what gives?

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...

stereo5 - You will find there is no speaker fits all because we all have different taste and expectations. I'll go as far as to tell you the downside to Raidho that I've noticed. If you want a concert in your home Raidho's are not for you. If you want bass that kicks you in the chest Raidho's are not for you. If you can't set them up properly (ideally at least 9ft apart and a good 3 or more ft from the back wall and a couple of ft from the sides) you will never hear the magic they are capable of. They do have a pretty tight sweet spot to hear the magic. IMO the magic is clarity that sounds so natural. Like you can tell what skin the drummer has and if he is using a plastic tip on his sticks or not. They disappear and sound so open like no other speaker I've ever heard. Very 3D as to where all the performers are standing or sitting. I feel like I'm sitting at an intimate live setting not a rock concert in a large stadium. But that comes with a price and honestly I don't think anyone pays anywhere near retail. I don't think any private seller is losing very much when selling (maybe 10 -15%)
interesting how many opinions are formed after hearing components poorly set up...
