Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale?


If Raidho speakers are so great, why are there so many pairs for sale here?  These are not inexpensive speakers by any means and it seems at least every other day there is a pair for sale with some people having them only a few weeks to a few months, and they are really taking a bath on them.  What gives?  Are they not as great as they are made to be?  Is Jonathan Valin a shill for the company?

I heard the 4.1 diamond at Blink High End north of Boston and was very unimpressed.  I have heard many other highly regarded speakers for much less money sounding wonderful.  So, what gives?

Well one thing is certain, few who enjoy the Magico sound will ever appreciate the virtues of Raidho. That is still no reason to embarrass yourself.

This thread is a sad reminder of how much better our hobby would be without the following:

1) People who are butt-hurt because they believed a reviewer and got burned and, in turn, are incessantly on the hunt for people they can berate as stupid by claiming those people did the same thing.

2) People who project their lesser economic paradigm on other people and berate them as stupid because the other people don't share that economic paradigm as the one-and-only correct view of life.

3) People who live to berate others as stupid for their gear decision with no knowledge of that person's: 1) system synergy; 2) listening preferences; and 3) purchase economics.

4) Shameless shills and profiteers masquerading as purveyors of truth and salvation.

altan,

You think the D1.1 are something, try the D3.1 in your room. It will rock your world. Raidhos have been wildly successful over the last three years. The factory has been backlogged and many owners upgrade once they get addicted leading to second hand sales.
