Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale?
Bo - distortion in the tweeter. Dude you just lost all credibility with me. I have yet to hear a more open 3 dimensional sound from any speaker. Maybe you should go on a worldwide tour with your magic and convince us all. BTW are the Audioquest st... 
Coda Audio Video based in San Francisco is running a fraudulent operation
If you try a member lookup codaaudiovideo is not a member any more. They only had 4 posts. But that's not to say someone else from the company joined. After all their web site is still uphttps://codaaudiovideo.com/collections/raidho-acoustics

Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale?
Well I traded in my D2's for D2.1's. The upgrade is significant. Many for sale is people upgrading. But there is a downside to Raidho's and Scansonics. That being setup. To get the most out of them they really need to be at least 9ft apart and a g... 
OCTAVE v80se w/SBB and JADIS I-50
The Octave has a fantastic output tube protection feature too. Back when I had my V70se and later the V110 I had a couple of output tubes that arced over causing the protection to kick in. No damage as a result. I've also had a couple of tubes tha... 
OCTAVE v80se w/SBB and JADIS I-50
I agree with Charles but would like to add the Soft start with output tube protection circuit is second to none. Octave also make their own transformers. They did start off a a transformer company (so they do know a lot when it comes to transforme...

I have never heard a bad sound from any Dyn product. But I'm sure you know the new Contour C20-C30 and C60 are just hitting the states. Might want to wait until you can hear them before making a decision. They have been totally redesigned from the... 
Bi-Amp v. Uneven Speaker Cable Runs (Pass Labs B&W 802D)
I would suggest going to Home depot and picking up 2 - 28ft runs of cable and 1 - 6ft run. That way you can compare 2 equal long runs of cable vs a long and a short runs. Even if you hear no difference you haven't spent a lot of money to answer yo... 
Nordost Frey 2; what should I expect?
After owning the original Frey SC's for several years I was able to demo the series 2 and I have to say even the Heimdall 2 had a much more liquid/warmer sound especially in the mids over the original Frey's.Although I didn't upgrade my SC's at th... 
Octave Audio amplifiers
I did have a V40se in my system for a short while. It worked very well with my C1's. What I did notice when moving up the line was a hair more control with each step up. Didn't really notice the output power to make much of a difference except for... 
Octave Audio amplifiers
I owned the Octave V70se and later the V110 along with the black box. The black box lowers the noise floor while adding a hair of headroom. As far as sound quality it depends which tubes are used. When I got the V70se the stock tubes were all SED....
