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?

Welcome to this week's episode of Delusions Of Grandeur.
You have proved yourself to be a self-righteous hypocrite.

Yes the cabinets are made in China and the Walnut burl is from Italy. Every country has skilled craftsman. They are beautiful and great quality. Let's not forget Apple products are made and assembled in China and really high quality. I'm not a Apple fan boy at all but not because of where they are made.
I don't have a problem with anything made in China.  My speakers are made there and that is why they were affordable enough that I could purchase them.  I truly thought the cabinets of the Raidhos were made in Denmark as they were absolutely gorgeous and like the finest furniture one could buy.  I'm just not in tune with their sound but that's why there is such a large range of speakers out there.

Does it mean that we soon won’t need any skilled craftsman and will be fine and dandy with entertainers, police and soldiers? Looks like Detroit MI is a very good start for such endeavor!

Agree, but at the same time I would like to assemble them here in USA and so is Lenovo computers and so is many other great and affordable products, but at the same time don’t want to be slave... Anything can be done or anyone thinks about that?

They play ’the stupid and ignorant’ card, and often it works. Besides, Europeans generally despise Americans and get pleasure out of that too.


Agree! $30k Nordost wires is one of the great examples.
