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?

I discovered Audiogon about two years ago, and have been surprised at how many relatively new items have been offered on the site, for considerable discounts from "retail".
I have made two purchases where the seller said they were condition 9 out of 10, when the items arrived, the tape on the factory sealed carton had not been breached!
I think the site attracts some people who enjoy trying out equipment and maybe have connections to obtain it at significant discounts from "retail", don't lose much in turning the items over.
I am not a Raidho "expert" by any means, but have auditioned a few of their floor standing models, not my "cup of tea", but excellent speakers.
