Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale?
All the stores I frequent charge retail and on some occasions a 10% discount.  Why would a dealer give a customer a salesman's accommodation which is 40 to50% off of retail?  When I worked in audio, I could get a salesmans acomidation on a product... 
Closest to pass labs int 250 or x250.8
Not sure if this interests you, but there is a Pass 150.5 listed here for 2,500.00.  I don't know much about Pass equipment as I have never heard any so my statement is just what is available here. 
Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale?
That sounds quite plausible. 
Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale?
Never heard those, but the 4.1 diamonds were nothing special.  I would take a lower end Rockport any day over them.  I still can't see why there are so many for sale.  The same goes for Scansonic which is a poor mans Raidho. 
Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale?
I really don't think so, I mean you spend upwards of 40 grand on speakers and then sell them for 40% less than you paid weeks or months later?  Besides, Raidho has a program to upgrade your current speakers to the newer ones for far less money tha... 
Coda Audio Video based in San Francisco is running a fraudulent operation
So sorry to read this.  It's getting so you can't trust even some of the big boys anymore.  I have been very lucky, I only deal with old and established brick and mortar stores and I haven't gotten ripped off yet here with 102 transactions under m...

Pass Labs amp / 4 ohm speakers
IMHO, more power is always good.  You get better headroom and a better ease to the sound. 
Has anyone had problems running kt-120s tubes in there power amp?
Since you aren't running an ARC amp, I really don't see what your concern is.   Obviously the transformers in those particular ARC amps couldn't handle the KT-120 tubes.  Cary already told you the tubes will work fine in your amp, so what is the p... 
Vandersteen 1Ci, Tekton Lore Reference, or Fritzspeaks Grove for a small room
I had both Vandersteen 2ce sigs and Tekton Pendragons.  It was no contest, kept my Vandersteens and returned the Pendragons to the manufacturer.  That was a couple of years ago, since then I moved on to Golden Ear Triton Ones and Twos (2 separate ... 
Class D Audio Brand does not honor warranty---AVOID!!
This is the prime reason I stay away from small audio companies like this,  The customer is usually left in the lurch when problems arise.  Any company can give a 3 year warranty, but not all of them will honor it. 
Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP Driving PSB Imagine T2s
I would ditch the Creek and go with the Dialogue Premium HP integrated amp.  Trust me, that amp will effortlessly drive your speakers. 
Aurender servers and power cords
I had an Aurender N100H coupled with a Shunyata Diamondback Platinum (older model) power cord and it sounded excellent, much better than the stock computer power ccord that comes with the Aurender. 
Didn't know offers/counter offers did NOT include shipping
The seller could have changed the listing to free shipping, then you could have added the shipping price to the total.
