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.
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?

Looks like Detroit MI is a very good start for such endeavor! Let’s not forget Apple products are made and assembled in China and really high quality. 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? inna2,846 posts Agree! $30k Nordost wires is one of the great examples. |
When people would have had more knowledge and insight they would never bought them. During different shows we visited we heard the saturation of the tweeter. Beside this they can create stage depth and width. There are enough who are a lot better in this part. A dealer overhere who sells them is the person who also is the distributer. He buys them for 3.0. So he has a lot of % to give a discount. Even for this money they are still rather expensive. The other drivers also often showed difficulties during shows. It is a pitty that the knowlegde and insight of people who work in audio is limited these days. This also works negative on consumers. Raidho is only one example of that, because there are many others. You need to understand that the problems start at the magazines. These days many people buy speakers based on reviews. Many reviews are paid these days, the text you read it often not the truth. That is why I always ask to my clients: What do you want to hear? The truth or the thing you would like to hear..... |
When a speaker is being seen a lot on the internet for sale there is a reason for sure? When people are not convinced or happy they will sell it. This is how the world of audio works. At many shows we found the speakers often rather stressed in sound. I think this can be a reason why you find them a lot used on the internet. |
