Speakers to audition at AXPONA 2015
04-17-15: MilpaiXti16,That speaker looks interesting from the point that the designer is ex-Raidho. Will visit that room as well. But a bit worried that it might sound too sterile. Lets seeMike B the designer is still with Raidho. Raidho is part o... 
Speakers to audition at AXPONA 2015
I would check all the speakers you can since you're there. Swing by room 514 and listen to the Scansonic 2.5's ($3500 retail). I personally they will be a big surprise for the money. Another to check out is Dynaudio (not sure which rooms in your p... 
Raidho D1's and recommendations for amplifiers
Aavik U300 is designed by Mike B from Raidho. But at 30K retail WOW.

Ken it was a pleasure meeting you also. I'm sending you a PM. 
Bookshelf Speakers with the decent bass
For a bookshelf speaker try to audition some Dynaudio C1's. Quite a bit of lows for a standmount. Great mids and highs.For a small floorstander the new Scansonic MB 2.5's are killer for the money. Note: make sure if you can hear the 2.5's they are... 
Raidho D1's and recommendations for amplifiers
04-11-15: MordanteIf it was my money money I would have a look at a Pass Labs XA amps, Octave, or Aavik U-300.Today I heard the Aavik U-300 with all Ansuz cabling and Raidho X-3 it sounded great. But I might prefer a tadd more warmth, Class A amps... 
How are Scansonic MB 2.5 sound
El34 - 6550 - KT88 - KT90 - KT120 and KT150's. In a push-pull Pentode mode. It has a high and low power mode. In high power I am using the Ei KT90's. It was designed around the KT120. Kt150's will not get any more power than the KT120's. 
Raidho D1's and recommendations for amplifiers
Raidho will be at Axpona this year to show off their new Aavik integrated with the Scansonic MB 2.5's Raidho X3 and D3. 
How are Scansonic MB 2.5 sound
I just might stop by. I haven't heard the MB's with tubes But to me the Raidho's sound great with tubes. Do you have a tube amp or integrated? I have an Octave V110 with black box. GeorgeJust looked at your system. VTL should sound great. 
How are Scansonic MB 2.5 sound
No I didn't because I have Raidho D2's. What time are you going to be there? 
How are Scansonic MB 2.5 sound
I think you will be surprised how good they sound especially for the money. I heard them at Nextlevel with 25 hrs - 75 hrs then 150 hrs. At 25 hrs they sounded good but at 75 they really started to come alive. At 150 hrs all I can say is Wow. I ha... 
NAS backup Question
Not very likely. The drives are usually encrypted to the enclosure. But if you had another Synology NAS of the same model if will probably be OK. As far as the LMS it should be able to read from any NAS. 
Scansonic mb serie
Raks I honestly think he'll have a line a mile long just for the MB 2.5's let alone the X3's and D3's which haven't arrived yet. 
Scansonic mb serie
Raks Were you at Nextlevel? Those were the MB 2.5's for $3500. I was there too. Honestly even at $5000 those speakers are killer. BTW The MB 3.5's I think are closer to 5500.03-28-15: Jpbas1Opening up beautifully. I am somewhere around 40+ hours a... 
Tube Amp - Output Power Fuse Protection
First you would want to get the most out of the circuit. By adding a fuse in line with the resistor the fuse would have to blow before the you damage or burn the resistor. That would limit the output power to less than the design without the fuse....
