Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale?

Well I traded in my D2's for D2.1's. The upgrade is significant. Many for sale is people upgrading.

But there is a downside to Raidho's and Scansonics. That being setup. To get the most out of them they really need to be at least 9ft apart and a good 3 to 5 feet from the back wall. If you can set them properly they are magical. If you can't they are just good. Also they are more of a nearfield speaker. Also if you want a rock concert in your home they are not the speaker for you. But if you want to hear music in a more intimate setting these are the speakers you want. Unlike some speakers that sound the best when played very loud these play great at lower to mid level volumes. The max spl varies from the mid 90db's to 105db depending on the model. Max db with my D2.1's is around 97. Like most any speaker they also sound best with really good electronics.

As far as losing 40% or more I doubt many paid anywhere near retail.

Yes the cabinets are made in China and the Walnut burl is from Italy. Every country has skilled craftsman. They are beautiful and great quality. Let's not forget Apple products are made and assembled in China and really high quality. I'm not a Apple fan boy at all but not because of where they are made.

Bo - distortion in the tweeter. Dude you just lost all credibility with me. I have yet to hear a more open 3 dimensional sound from any speaker. Maybe you should go on a worldwide tour with your magic and convince us all. BTW are the Audioquest still the best cables ever made?

stereo5 - You will find there is no speaker fits all because we all have different taste and expectations. I'll go as far as to tell you the downside to Raidho that I've noticed. If you want a concert in your home Raidho's are not for you. If you want bass that kicks you in the chest Raidho's are not for you. If you can't set them up properly (ideally at least 9ft apart and a good 3 or more ft from the back wall and a couple of ft from the sides) you will never hear the magic they are capable of. They do have a pretty tight sweet spot to hear the magic. IMO the magic is clarity that sounds so natural. Like you can tell what skin the drummer has and if he is using a plastic tip on his sticks or not. They disappear and sound so open like no other speaker I've ever heard. Very 3D as to where all the performers are standing or sitting. I feel like I'm sitting at an intimate live setting not a rock concert in a large stadium. But that comes with a price and honestly I don't think anyone pays anywhere near retail. I don't think any private seller is losing very much when selling (maybe 10 -15%)

@mr_m - Last year Bo never recommended speakers but if you asked about Nordost cables he would tell you how he sold them for 9 years and they were no good. Until he found Audioquest. I think Bo needs to make the rounds with various audio shows like Munich - RMAF - Axpona etc to educate us all since we have no idea what a great system sounds like!! LMAO
