| Why pay so much for super high end? It's pretty simple, if you think it's stupid, don't do it. I really don't get why people are so concerned about how others spend their money. I submit there are differences and I can describe them in three systems that I'm familiar with.1) my frie... | |
| Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale? I've listened to a system in Austin that is over 400K, my friend has two very expensive systems. I went to RMAF two years ago and listened to very expensive systems. I say if you have the money, buy what ever you want and makes you happy. Ultimate... | |
| Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale? bo1972,there are no absolutes in audio, only preferences. I've heard several speakers that many may prefer to Monitor Audio, despite owning them and that's fine. Aerial, Magico, Rockport, Wilson, YG Acoustics, Revel, MBL, and many more come to min... | |
| Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale? stereo5,I find it hard to believe that you actually listened to the new Monitor Audio Series II speakers and concluded that they are bright. They may not be your cup of tea, but bright they are not. What electronics were driving them? What model d... | |
| An all Parasound system - Good idea? I've been looking to add rears to complete my 5.1 surround sound system. I have Monitor Audio fronts and center. Most people said get Monitor Audio as rears to keep the same sound signature or rears don't make a difference. I decided to get Monito... | |
| White Noise I solved the white noise by replacing the stock power cord with a 6' Audioquest NRG-2 power cord. The power cord reduced the noise by 95%. | |
| Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale? I own Monitor Audio Pl500's and my friend has Raidho C3.1's. They are different and when played at low to medium volume, the Raidho's sound good to my ears. The problem is they fall apart at higher volumes. Considering how much Raidho's cost, I su... | |
| An all Parasound system - Good idea? In my opinion Audiotroy has used different words to say the same thing that I did in an earlier post. Parasound's amps sound better than their preamps. | |
| Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale? I heard the Aviors several times and would choose Raidho if the the room was medium to small sized . If it was a relatively large room I would take Monitor Audio PL500’s over any Rockport I’ve ever heard. Just goes to show you, no absolutes in aud... | |
| Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale? My friend has a pair of Raidho C3.1's. Within their limits I submit they are very, very good. They require the right room and electronics. | |
| White Noise auxinput,Thanks, I'll try your work around suggestion tomorrow. I reached out to Rowland to see what they suggest. They're very helpful and should be able to give me some advice. | |
| White Noise auxinput,Thanks so much for the detailed response. It's definitely a hiss and not a buzz. The Corus and Marantz are plugged into the same Torus power conditioner. I'm using Audioquest Golden Gate interconnect cable(will getting better cable help).... | |
| White Noise Yes, only when the HT receiver is on. Any suggestions for an AV receiver to drive my center and rear speakers? | |
| An all Parasound system - Good idea? If I were going with a one brand system, I would follow these steps:1) determine budget2) determine your musical preference(s)3) consider room size 4) room treatment 5) listen to as many systems as possible 6) let your own ears decideI don't tell ... | |
| An all Parasound system - Good idea? markmendenhall,Thanks for the kind words. I'm a humble person and I don't think I'm the authority on Audio. I'm not rich, but I have a friend that's pretty wealthy that has allowed me to hear and own components that I couldn't on my own. I'm truly... |
