| Two and a half hour audition of the Raidho C1.1 There are many excellent tweeters out there. However, if the designer can't properly integrate the tweeter with the midrange/bass drivers, it's not worth the effort IMO. I would prefer a less detailed/extended tweeter that seamlessly integrates wi... | |
| Two and a half hour audition of the Raidho C1.1 Yes, I forgot to mention ion tweeters from Acapella and Lansch on multiple occasions. While nice to look at, I think they are overpriced for what they do. Last time I checked couple of years ago, a pair of the Acapella ion tweeters went for $8K. I... | |
| Two and a half hour audition of the Raidho C1.1 The RAAL 140-15D has deflector pads that forces the dispersion of the ribbon to behave as a spherical point source rather than a line source. So this may help with integration with cone drivers, if your claim about dispersion characteristic is tru... | |
| Two and a half hour audition of the Raidho C1.1 I agree Vapor. A properly implemented planar magnetic or ribbon tweeter has less distortion and are faster than silk dome tweeter. Problem is integrating a fast tweeter to the midrange/woofer. Many have failed at this (may be I'm just more sensiti... | |
| Two and a half hour audition of the Raidho C1.1 Thanks Vapor1 for your input. It may be true the C1.1 may sound better in my system, but I am happy with my system. The minor flaws I heard in my system have been pretty much solved by addition of a good stepped attenuator and going direct into th... | |
| Two and a half hour audition of the Raidho C1.1 Markpao, it is my thread afterall :) | |
| Two and a half hour audition of the Raidho C1.1 Sigh...this is tiring. I've already clearly stated the limitations. | |
| Two and a half hour audition of the Raidho C1.1 Dude, Kiwi get a life! You can dissect what I said with a microscope all you like. If that's your conclusion, fine by me. I've already told you what my intent was. Being anal can really make your life miserable. Take an anxiotyic and enjoy your we... | |
| Two and a half hour audition of the Raidho C1.1 Finally! Thank you Analogkid, Ngchaisoon,and Mike60 for reading my posts carefully and understanding the intent of my posts. It's inevitable to have some people jump to wrong conclusions. | |
| Two and a half hour audition of the Raidho C1.1 Perhaps some of you may better understand my intent if I explain it this way. My going to the dealer to hear audio equipment is no different than someone going to an audio show. You enter a room and find very pleasing sound from a system. Some may... | |
| Two and a half hour audition of the Raidho C1.1 Some of you are mistaking my post for a formal review between two speakers, where comparing two speakers in the same system is an absolute requirement. My post is not a review of the two speakers, just my experience with two different SYSTEMS. Why... | |
| Two and a half hour audition of the Raidho C1.1 Kiwi, I'm so devastated I lost my credibility with you. I've already stated the limitations in my OP. It's my opinion. Live with it. | |
| Two and a half hour audition of the Raidho C1.1 I guess I should elaborate on Shakey's comments."Unless you heard the C1.1 with YOUR amp and in YOUR room, you can't unequivocally say that." Shakeydeal, I appreciate your comments but this is not a scientific journal article. It wasn't my intent ... | |
| Two and a half hour audition of the Raidho C1.1 Actually I said upfront on my original post, I'm comparing systems, not the speaker itself. You don't need to point that it wasn't with MY amp and MY room. I know the limitations. But I'm see no need to audition a $17K speakers in my own setup, if... | |
| Two and a half hour audition of the Raidho C1.1 My system has undergone an update. Very simple but very revealing. My amplifier, Carver Cherry 180 tube monoblocks, comes with not so special stock volume pots at the input. I had them replaced with Gold Point stepped attenuators. I'm going direct... |
