Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale?
It's all good Stereo.  I wasn't  a Vandy fan until the newest ones.  I never fully understood them.  I think the new drivers etc... put them over for me.  I will get out to hear the new GE ref speakers once they hit the stores.

Stereo, have you auditioned the Vandersteen Treo CT's yet?  If not, it's probably worth it since you are in that 8k price range already.  I think you will be pleasantly surprised by all they can do at this price point.  I have two friends I met on...

Guys, I won't say which is which so folks can go listen and make up their own minds.  Those are my own thoughts on the speakers.  All my post was saying is that said poster put together a list of speakers that all sound totally different from each...

Stereo5.  The Vandersteen Quatro's are on order still.  I head out for Nepal until the 10th of Feb, so I told them to take their time.  I will have them painted in Audi Havana Black (the darkest brown metallic you can find).  I can't wait, but hav...

Probably a good list.  I won't go in order, but my impressions of these speakers (yes pretty familiar with all of them).Hot high end.  Cant' listen to Rock that was not recorded properly as my ears burn.  Lot's of thump in the bass.  Pretty reveil...

I agree with the dealer above about used vs demo.  Not even a question for me.  I just can't buy a used speaker or transport.  When I see a used TT, I'll look as you can tell if someone takes care of their gear or not.  Too many horror stories abo...

Um....OK....there are some pretty good posts in this thread and many don't disparage your speakers.  It's a public forum and it's aways interesting to hear what folks say about things, good and bad.  I have never seen a post by anyone saying it's ...

Yes, I was an audio free agent when I started to rebuild my system a few years ago.  I went up to Boston and Walt up in NH (daughter is a jr at UNH), but I loved Johnny.  I didn't love what was being pushed by two of the larger stores up there.  I...

The 5's would have been fine in my room.  I have plenty of friends who have small spaces and love their 5CT's.  Personally, I feel the Quatro's are the sweet spot in the Vandersteen line and I'm not made of money.  Iol.  I rarely second guess my a...

Very well put Chargers....As I've posted, Bruce is a great dealer and I used him when I lived in SD in the early/mid 80's.  Just a great guy who gets it.  I never met Randy, but have heard great things about his ability to set up a system.  All of...

I've owned many Proacs over the years and the first really non fatiguing speakers they have on the market to me are the newest ribbon tweeters, but for what the OP wants, they will be out of the price range probably.  He's need the larger ones if ... 
Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation
First off you can't ever say that one speaker blows the other out of the water.  Many for YOUR ears, but not for other folks.  I have tried and tried to like the Legacy's and for ME they are way too hot.  I do like their newest tweeter much better...
