Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale?

stereo5,
I find it hard to believe that you actually listened to the new Monitor Audio Series II speakers and concluded that they are bright. They may not be your cup of tea, but bright they are not. What electronics were driving them? What model did you listen to?

Every driver has its pros and cons,

Both AMT/Ribbon if done right can sound very dynamic and push far more SPL than Fabric domes.

However I do prefer Fabric dome for music listening and AMT for Theatre rooms that require much higher SPL levels.

Horns if done right wont sound like horns at all and will give you many more pros than cons, especially with Speed and Dynamics.

A good example of a well engineered Horn Speakers are the Classic Audio Loudspeakers from John Wolff.

When you say that the AMT tweeter is bright I will not even take you serious. We never auditioned any tweeter with this level of authority.

YOU CANNOT COMPARE THE OLD PLATINUM WITH THE NEW PLATINUM II SERIES.

The differences are that huge. The ribbon tweeter of the older could become a little bright with the wrong electronics.

The biggest problem in audio is that people cannot think and work in properties. We see this back that almost all shops demo Monitor Audio with 2 dimensional amps and sources.

There are many products which use the word highend what only can create less than 1 metre of stage depth. THIS IS A HIFI STEREO PARAMETER. But when audio does not say this, you can say anything. And people will believe it is highend audio.

bo1972,

there are no absolutes in audio, only preferences. I've heard several speakers that many may prefer to Monitor Audio, despite owning them and that's fine. Aerial, Magico, Rockport, Wilson, YG Acoustics, Revel, MBL, and many more come to mind. My advice to everyone is to listen and let your own ears decide, but take into consideration you're listening to a "system" not just speakers.
