Raidho C1.1


Anyone get a chance to hear these speakers?

Oh, and not least: the new "fishbone" pattern ribbon in the tweeter of the C1.1 was (and of course remains) installed in their flagship, the C4's, which we heard during our visit as well, and even though the C4's at the time were not developed into full maturity, everything indicated to me that the new ribbon -- judged by the totality of the sound from a much bigger speaker -- had less imprinting on the sound. If anything it seemed even more responsive and dynamic in the top octaves, and just appeared to vanish in the contribution to the whole of the sound; I'd say more sonic substance and yet invisibility - if it makes any sense.
Phusis thank you for responding. Your comments are enlightening. I've found that big chunky connectors don't sound as good as those with less metal (eg Eichman). I'm trying to get an audition but not manydealers in USA.
I was surprised to read in Hi-Fi Plus (they are fans of both the C1 and C1.1) that the stand feet aren't adjustable. On top of that, the stand is not rigid by design. I can't imagine what happens when your floor isn't level, or on carpet. This is absurd, imho.
Yes, I read about the stand which is a concern because of the uneven carpeted floor in my audio room.
The lack of level adjustment of the stands is indeed a pain if you are using the speakers on solid uneven flooring because the ball isolated floor coupling is capable of audible rattle with loud dynamic music. I needed to move the C-1's to carpet to solve that problem.

The stand is non-rigid by design and when you own these things you will quickly grasp that the low mass really aids dynamics.

Changes between the C-1.0 and the C-1.1 are comprehensive. New driver, new tweeter, new terminals and the inclusion of Nordost Odin internal cabling.

All I can say right now is Magico have a serious competitor...
