Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
Funny because I upgraded my Nordost Frey SC's to Ansuz Ceramics (3.5K vs 16.4K) and tried a/b-ing them. Couldn't really hear much of a difference. Until I put one of each cable in. What I finally determined was there was no difference in tonality ...

I think some music is recorded to sound that way. I have some Chesky demos for speaker placement that sound like that. My Dyn C1's did it too. But my old Mission/Cyrus 782's never did sound like that. OTOH your room and seating position will contr... 
Coda Audio Video based in San Francisco is running a fraudulent operation
I understand contacting the manufacturer but my take from your original post is to come down on the manufacturer at shows. In this case Raidho doesn't have a presence in the USA and Danish law prevents Raidho from getting involved with Coda. I hav... 
Coda Audio Video based in San Francisco is running a fraudulent operation
I don't agree with going after the manufacturer. It will only hurt Raidho who did nothing wrong. I don't think any manufacturer would knowingly authorize a shady dealer. Coda took the money from a couple of customers on big ticket items and the cu...

"Blame Raidho for this, come down on them."Why blame Raidho? It was the dealer that never paid Raidho for goods and

It's been a couple of years. The X-1 will have a blacker background resulting in more 'air' between the instruments and vocals which you hear more detail. Overall they will sound more open. I've heard the XT-1 but not side by side with the X-1 or ... 
Dynaudio listening height?
After owning the Dyn C1's and Signatures for over 5 years I played with positioning a lot and found they sounded best to me with very little to no toe in. About 6ft apart and a couple of ft from the back wall. I had the stand4 which Dyn stated tha... 
Dynaudio listening height?
Dyn has very high dispersion tweeters so I don't think it's too critical.  
Update on Dynaudio Contour 3.4 LE
@carmenc -- Those are the 3.4's I listened to. Yeah Rhett and are friends but don't tell anyone..LOL All kidding aside he is a great guy and friend. Tyler is a great guy too. I've been working with him for over 10 years. Can't think of a better de... 
Update on Dynaudio Contour 3.4 LE
@carmenc You are most welcome. Over at www.avsforum.com. There is a Dynaudio owners thread. There are a lot of die hard Dyn owners posting there. Some good experiences/tips regarding amps and sources that mate well with Dyn’s. I’m OctaDyn_Dude. I ...

I heard the same rattle (they only had about 25 hrs on then at the time) and it will go away after break in from what I was told. A friend had them and he likes very loud and when I asked if the rattle still happened he said no. His amp was the Aa... 
Update on Dynaudio Contour 3.4 LE
Congrats puppytWhat matters most is what you prefer as far as sound quality. I heard the 3.4LE's when they first came out and was impressed. I haven't heard the C30 yet. But the fact they are more forward would not be to my liking. But I know othe... 
Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale?
@mr_m - Last year Bo never recommended speakers but if you asked about Nordost cables he would tell you how he sold them for 9 years and they were no good. Until he found Audioquest. I think Bo needs to make the rounds with various audio shows lik... 
Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale?
stereo5 - You will find there is no speaker fits all because we all have different taste and expectations. I'll go as far as to tell you the downside to Raidho that I've noticed. If you want a concert in your home Raidho's are not for you. If you ...
