Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale?

I am a Raidho owner (D3s), and as such I have an interest in knowing what the "stats" are regarding volume and prices here on a'gon.
It seems that the number of D-level speakers offered for sale was (and remains) pretty small (including dealers).
Not sure exactly what evidence stereo5 has for stating "there so many pairs for sale". As far as I see it the volume was small and commensurate with the price-band (very high = not many, very low = lots).
However, stereo5 does make a valid point wrt price/quality -- no-one will ever get that equation fully solved. I was probably in attendance when Mr. stereo5 heard the D5s (there was an open house at Blink). They sounded good, but were we also hearing the mega-high-end Aavik mono blocks and pre-amp which were used also?
Staging and depth was generally terrific but a couple of highly rhythmic tracks did seem to lack a certain "punch" -- but then again adding a pair of JL subs into the mix could be a winning combo (per Jonathan Vallin's recent review).
One observation I have wrt pre-owned availability & numbers ... I certainly have noted a large number of D'Agostino Momemtums for sale (not only in US but also in UK). Do I read anything sinister here or is this an artifact of D'Agostino's market share/dominance? Ditto for Wilson speakers?

Finally: bo1972's comment wrt use of diamond of a load of codswallop - the drivers in D-series have fully diamond coatings, diamond coating over ceramic. This is achieved using a very high Voltage bath which "fires" carbon atoms at exceedingly high velocity [resulting in the impact pressure being exceedingly high]. This technology is well-established in scientific instrument manufacture (i.e., for electronic microscopes) and does take a LOT of energy and a lot of time (ceramic "coating" takes about 5-6 days for a 6in driver and diamond coating adds an extra few days on to of that).

The last time we auditioned Raiho speakers it was done by the distributer. During listening we heard ( again) the distortion in the tweeter. We had the same experience in some shows at the past.

There was some depth, but for these prices I want a holographic stage to die for. And not just some depth.

The only reason why they use small drivers is based on the looks. They are small, but the drivers are not capable of playing loud.

Often the sound became stressed but also harsh in the mid en high frequencies.

Listen to an AMT tweeter, and you never want any Diamond dome or beryllium dome back.

With the cheaper Mcintosh the 802D3 sounded stressed and very unpleasent. For the Utopia line of Focal we had several demos with the same kind of problems in the high frequencies.

Even the expensive Sonus Faber showed us many sss in the high frequencies. It is time to quit dome tweeters. Ribbon is a nice technique, but compare it to AMT. And you will think differently.

It sounds so much more natural without any stress. The stage is so much bigger. When you hear the same music with all the differences in height of the instruments and voices the music is played in a different league.

This league needs to be played and heard. And then we will talk again!

I have no such problems in the highs with my Rockport Altair's. I'll put them up against any electrostat  or ribbon speaker. I hate Heil tweeters in all speakers I have heard them in.

Scansonic are indeed "the poor mans Raidho" ... the blurb I heard by the distro (at AXPONA) was that "Scansonic have a lot of the Raidho DNA" since Michael Borreson designed both - which seems to be a reasonable claim.
Hearing that top-of-the-line  Raidho-Aavik-Ansuz system all together (at Blink) was great, but it's hard to judge exactly *what* I heard other than I heard one bad muvva of a system, unobtainable by a mere mortal like myself ... but there certainly is some deep discounting to be had for ex-demos in the high-end in general - per A'gon listings.

One thing I *cannot* criticize about Raidhos is the top end range. I live with these speakers and that tweater and they work wonderfully well for all sorts of music (from [glorious] pre-war Delta blues to modern minimal techno dub), so the comment by bo1972 is one I really cannot agree with. But that's OK, each to their own.

I must admit - I was also torn between Rockports and Raidhos. I will certainly demo Rockports along with Raidho's when I next upgrade.
