Help me pick a Dynaudio
@raindog031 How are you? Been a while. Anyhow I have to agree 100% with you regarding the SQ of the different Dyn's. As far as the C2's in the OP's room I would question which wall they would be on. If the 18' wall there shouldn't be any problem e... 
Help me pick a Dynaudio
I would contact Dynaudio regarding warranty. Here in the states the warranty follows the speaker regardless if you are the original owner. I owned C1's and later C1 Sig's for about 6 years. Great speaker. I had heard the Sapphires on many occasion... 
Herron VTPH-2 12ax7 Recommendations?
When I had my Octave V70SE then later the V110 I had used the RCA triple mica black plate in place of the 12ax7 input with great results. It was a warmer overall sound. Of course I did get the OK from Andreas Hoffman at Octave. He also said for th... 
Shipping from canada to usa?
There should not be any taxes for a product made in North America sent to another North American country - NAFTA It will have to go through customs ;) 
Speaker cable lengths doe it matter they are not equal???
What would be interesting is if a dealer had some different length cables and try them yourself at the store. Of course the biggest downside is resale. That said about 25 yrs ago a dealer did a demo of different speaker cable lengths. If I recall ...

Audio Research Amps with Dynaudio speakers?
When I owned the C1 and later the C1 Sig's I had no problem using an Octave V70se and later a V110. I would think it would be a great match.  
Are audiophiles still out of their minds?
@wattsperchannel Soulution amps sound great with Raidho's.  
Raidho just announced new D .1 models
Congrats and I think you'll be impressed. I owned the D1's for almost a year before upgrading to the D2's. I heard the D1.1's at Axpona and for what I heard it was like an entirely different speaker (faster) yet kept that Raidho D series sound. My...

The illusion of soundstage.
I think a wider soundstage is a result of proper setup for I have yet to hear a pair of speakers that do not pass beyond the drivers. Ex: with Dyn's I found very little to no toe in extends the soundstage way beyond the speakers and still retain g... 
Help!!! I need a better amp for Scansonic MB1 !!!!!
I've heard Scansonics driven by Naim several times. Very musical. XS-2 or SN2.  
Raidho D1's and recommendations for amplifiers
@qbndds - What amp do you have now? BTW the D1.1's sound a lot better than the original D1's so I would say it was a good thing you couldn't pull the trigger last year. Otherwise you would be looking at getting them upgraded. Anyhow back to the am... 
bryston b100sst as pre-amp
When I had the B100sst I used it as a pre for a little while. It then is basically a BP6.  
Raidho speaker owners, what solid state amplifier do you use?
@dracule1 I can't disagree with you regarding cables for the most part but I will be the first to say cables should be the last thing you do once your system is finalized. Cables can squeeze the last bit of 'best' sound quality out of your system....
