Raidho C1.1
Don't get me wrong. By cookie cutter, I don't mean the drivers used in Vapors are average...they're some of the best out there. But these drivers were not specifically designed for a specific enclosure, baffle, stands, etc, like those in the Raidho.

Todd, thanks for the suggestion. I have the Ridge Street Audio Street Sasons with the best cross-over parts I know of, Dueland CAST caps and resistors and custom inductors using 8 guauge wires built into the stands, like the Vapors. Cabinets are c...

I'm very happy with the sound now. I'm finishing up room treatments.

Looks like my journey into finding what this speaker sound like has come to an end. The dealer near me seems to have absolutely no interest in letting me audition them despite my calls and even email by the head of Raidho to the dealer. What's the...

I never liked any of the Magico speakers, granted I have not heard the new Q series. But if the C1.1s sound like the older Magicos, then they're not my cup of tea.

Yes, I read about the stand which is a concern because of the uneven carpeted floor in my audio room.

Phusis thank you for responding. Your comments are enlightening. I've found that big chunky connectors don't sound as good as those with less metal (eg Eichman). I'm trying to get an audition but not manydealers in USA.

Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly
My Cherry 180 is more transparent than my AtmaSphere M60 which is saying a lot, but my 180 has the vintage transformer and Vcap coupling caps with better binding posts, RCA connector, and captive PC cord that the standard 180s lack. It's all aroun...

I think the OP lost his interest after I posted the guitar links with too many notes!

Inna, your taste in guitar music seems to be pretty much flamenco and fusion jazz, which is fine by me. I'm not a huge fan of Al DiMeola's guitar playing, other than Mediterranean Sundance. I do like flamenco in small doses.

Martykl and Bdgregory, glad you you liked them. Matt Rach is a French kid who started off as a guitar wonder on youtube playing rocked out version of pachelbel's canon when he was 14. He really has matured into a fine guitarist. He actually plays ...

Inna, I was trained in classical guitar orginally. Nino is a flamenco guitar player, a very good one at that. It's an entirely different style of guitar playing. His playing is no better or worse than Ted, just different. Thanks for the link. I en...
