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 heard the D5.1's and D3.1's at the Munich Hi End Show last May.  The D3.1's sounded very good.  The D5.1's, disappointingly,  did not. The feedback we got there from a couple of rooms that used the D3.1's is that they are difficult to place in a room and are near field speakers requiring lots of space as others have commented. 

Comparing the D3.1's to the ProAc K6's, I far preferred the ProAc's.  Less room sensitive, way better bass and less that half the price.  And ProAc gets its cabinets made in Denmark.
