Thank you for the additional comments, it is appreciated. Any other Raidho owners out there?
@fred60 Yours was a key comment. San Bernadino is in my top five for their best shows, and what a setlist!
What are your thoughts on Raidho?
One of my honorable mention rooms at AXPONA this year was the Raidho TD2.2's fronted by a Margules amp. I was really taken by these speakers, beautiful, deep soundstage, though the tracks were probably carefully selected for this effect. Nonetheless, I think the brand might work for my tastes.
Here is what I already know:
- People think they are overpriced. Sure, probably.
- They lose value quickly when bought new. I would be buying used.
- They have a more relaxed sound, likely related to a dip in the mid-crossover, but this seems to appeal to me.
- I should buy Borresons instead. No, I have heard these multiple times, way too uptight.
- They can work in smallish rooms, mine is 12.5x11, speakers on the short wall. See my profile for pics and details.
- Anecdotal, but they seem to work well for low volume listening, which is my thing these days.
- It is not convenient to demo these speakers at a dealer, and I want to buy used anyway.
The models of interest are the X2, D2.x and TD2.x. I have KEF Reference One 3-way stand mounts now.
With all of my known objections out of the way, I am interested in your experience with this brand.

@kodak805 70% seems to be wrong. Most retailers mark up at 100% (keystone) in order to support costs and profit, at a minimum. Perhaps the dealer friend was stating 700%, which would seem more likely given Raidho’s pricing. |
