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?

I have been to Blink High End numerous times recently and as far as I know they don't have D4.1s. So how did you got to hear them? Tim said he was not going to get them either.
Also, you say that you never heard the D5s ... how is this possible as Blink have D5s on a permanent basis - so the likelihood of you NOT hearing the D5s is very small indeed if you were in their showroom ... something's not right here ...

Cheap Chinese cabinets. As for overpricing, since there are a lot of people who don't earn but make a lot of money, why not try and cash in, Danes and others think ? They play 'the stupid and ignorant' card, and often it works. Besides, Europeans generally despise Americans and get pleasure out of that too.

You seem to do well yourself in regards to what you assume Europeans to similarly throw at you. Perhaps you'll come in handy helping Mr. Trump to build them walls.

be aware as OP doesn't like jokes and have no sense of humor. So what walls we're talking about? Bringing external politics to internal? It's a very good wall! It's the best wall you can think of!. Switzerland doesn't have external politics and have great internal economy and human wealth. Why worry about ANYTHING outside of HUGE and powerful nation? Quarter size of US army is ENOUGH to build invincible defence inside nation! Everything you want you can get HERE at ANY TIME if everything DONE RIGHT or you're so found of outsourcing labor for profit? Anyways any political whore gets fired, I'll raise my cognac shot and celebrate and grow my trust to our new driver that I in fact didn't vote for... I'm too liberal or even more anarchist than liberal. I'm only driven by humanity, TRUTH and peace that I found in neither of 2 candidates.

"Danes don't know how to make speakers"  Are you Serious ????  Some of the most respected high end drivers are form Denmark, I assume you are aware of Brands like ScanSpeak used widely in numerous high end speakers all over the world.


Good Listening

Hahaha.
I meant speakers not drivers.
And I am European. What a cute bunch.
I agree on the poster which states magazine reviews are all paid. This is very true and backdoor deals are made this way on high end gear. Alot of people are fooled into buying into products based on online or magazine reviews. I would call this the corruption within the high end audio business. Raidho never appealed to me from the start regardless of the reviews. My friend now admits this, everytime he has based his purchases on magazine reviews or online advertisements he has ended up being burnt out or developed buyers remorse.

This is the lesson we all learn but unfortuantly some people don't learn and will constantly repeat their mistakes till they are broke.
