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?

People make mistakes.   Sometimes very expensive ones.   One person's mistake can easily turn out to be anothers cat's meow.

Regarding speakers I see a lot of Kef ls50s for sale.  I've heard them and they are nice little speakers but probably do not live up to the hype for many, only those who really know what they are doing and can get the most out of them.    Happens all the time!

Regarding Raidho, off the cuff, probably just typical market stuff. Too many sold for too much by market standards. I have never heard these that I know of but I am sure they will find the right market price eventually. If many out there not being sold then cost is still just too high still versus the competition, that’s all.

If people paid way too much that’s unfortunate but happens all the time. These are luxury products. Popularity can wane over time for no good reason especially when lots of competition (which there is).   Live and learn. Remember the housing deal back in 2008?
