RaidHo C1.1 vs Focal Diablo Utopia

What are you trying to change/improve over the Raidho's?  What is the rest of your system?  

Just checking to see if there are other speakers out there with better detail and soundstage. I currently have a Jeff Rowland continuum s2 with marantz cd player, AVN turntable with ortofon credenza blue MC. I’ve had the Raidhos for a number of years and just seeing what else out there.

I am in the process of upgrading from my KEF Reference 1 stand mount speakers, and I am have a set of Raidho D-2.1's in my room. I bought these used of course, they are not the latest, and admittedly an upgrade over the C1.1's, however the soundstage, imaging and detail are quite exceptional, something that Raidho known for. Not to say that Focal is not a worthy competitor, but I think a lot of others will tell you to make sure you listen to a pair before you buy them. They are quite forward, and I would agree, but my Focal experience only comes from AXPONA, so not ideal.

I also intend to try the QLN 3 speaker, if you are interested in stand mounts, you might look into the QLN Prestige (not $ignature) 1. QLN is known for great imaging and a warmer sound. Sonus Faber and Joseph Audio are good choices as well. And KEF Reference for that matter. There are a ton of options out there, certainly look beyond Focal. 

Great! Thanks for the info and advice. I’m thinking that it’s probably not the best idea to trade the Raidhos since they should be more than adequate. You know how it is, keep thinking that there might be something better but, may not worth extra expense of trading what I gave. Had one audio company offer me $2850 for my speakers including stands. Seems they should be worth a lot more money.

How about a Raidho td1.2? If you like yours, why not move up to the next gen? They are quite exceptional.
