Why So Many Raidho D3's ?
mirolab asks a good question.I'll probably be upgrading to D4.1s ... however, Rockport's are also marvelous and I really should audition these as well if I'm going to be spending that much money. TIDAL sounded great at Axpona so a trip to "The Voi... 
Why So Many Raidho D3's ?
Buying the W-B Torus is a calculated risk. It's just arrived so no time to evaluate yet. I wanted a center-field sub (sorry, "Infrasonic Generator" as W-B call it ... daft). Bought from a dealer who has served me very well so ... fingers crossed. ... 
Why So Many Raidho D3's ?
roxy54 is correct ... there was another thread on (almost) exactly the same topic, hgope there is no suspicious agenda going on here ... maybe not. Stickman451I've had Missions (when I was in UK), Quads (forgot model) then Wilson Alexia then I set... 
Why So Many Raidho D3's ?
I have D3s and they're splendid. No complaints. I'll probably be getting D4s next, an upgrade I will happily do.If Raidho upgrade/update (as they clearly do) ... no biggie.There's another word for that: progress. If one doesn't develop and evolve ... 
Why So Many Raidho D3's ?
I count two D3s as of 1 minute ago ... since when is "2" translated as "many"?  
Worst In Show
The YG's in the GTT room sounded superb, but the clear winner to me (as in best) was Audio Note and their open reel source of Ella Fitzgerald. Not their most expensive system but the most natural and delightful tone I heard - a stunning testament ... 
Audiophile Humor
Did anyone see Michael Fremer's recent video showing the great new BS6000 that some wag was showing at the Marketplace? Rather funny. Check it at 10mins 30sec here...http://www.analogplanet.com/content/axpona-2017-marketplace-walk-through-0#J5xVDO... 
Which  component should get the best power cable? I
I had a same issue. Suggest best cable be from wall to power bar but others may disagree. I auditioned changing a SINGLE power cable from wall to an Ansuz8 D-level mains distro bar feeding a statement system (Raidho D5.1s thread by Ansuz D-TC cabl... 
When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better?
I have one little bit of experience that is possibly relevant.A [long] while back I was lucky enough to hear an ORIGINAL Charley Patton 78rpm (I didn't own it of course) and the sound of that pretty beat-up bit of shellac (through a modest system)... 
When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better?
Hawkwind's "Warrior On The Edge of Time" fold-out sleeve pretty much proves the point for me as to why vinyl is so so so superior to other formats (the music's great too). Check this YouTube video at about 3mins...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q... 
Whats playing on your system today?
Listening to some old-skool Gay Disco / Hi-NRG with some super bottom-pounding beats right now on my Raidho D3s.Tantra's "Hills Of Katmandu", lots of Patrick Cowley and, of course, his 15min l-o-n-g mix of Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" (what a MEGA... 
15" is deep enough
Well then, you get my vote ...  
Whats playing on your system today?
Been ploughing my way through the new Pink Floyd [massive] "Early Years" 27xDisc box set. Currently half way through... the BBC sessions are particularly good (much better than the bootlegs for sure) 
15" is deep enough
How would your (well-intentioned) law apply to horns I wonder? 
Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale?
System "synergy" is a very valid point. I find Magico's very clinical ... but then I heard them through different amps and hey-presto, a much more delightful sound, no longer clinical. Same goes for Raidho ... my humble Chord Electronic set-up wor...
