Question About Raidho Models C, D, XT

That helped greatly, thank you very much.

How sensitive are they to a good set-up?  Right now I'm in a crappy room, big sideboard behind the speakers, only 1 sidewall, large sofa.  Uggh, I know.  When I move next year I will have a dedicated listening room again.  Right now I have Wilsons Duettes which are really forgiving of less than ideal setups and the system sounds better than it has a right to in that room.

I'm between Raidhos, WIlson Alexias and maybe Voxativs.

Raidho’s and Wilson’s are completely different speakers to my ears. Unless you purchase the D series, Raidho's are best at medium to low volume. The Wilson’s are some of the most dynamic speakers I’ve ever heard and can play extremely loud.

Raidho's are very particular with their set-up/placement. Ideally they should be be 9' (or more) apart and pointed toward your shoulders. I had my D1's then D2's about 7 1/2' apart and although they sounded very good once I got D2.1's I was able to get them 9' and the imaging and depth got a lot better. Also they should be at least 3' (or more) from the tweeter to the back wall and same goes for the side walls.

ricred1 does bring up a point about loudness. The XT's will play louder where as both the C and D series have a much blacker background. Because of that they do play louder than you think. But if you want a rock concert in your home Raidho is not the speaker you would want.

My friend has Raidho C3.1 with Absolare mono-amps and at medium to low volume it's one if the best systems I've ever heard.

Thanks for the responses.  Rock concert I don't need.  My issue is the crappy room I'm in which only has one sidewall (open on one side to the dining room) and is pretty narrow.  My Duettes are about 5 feet apart as that's all I can manage in that room.

I'm guessing that D3's setup 5 feet apart (3 feet from back wall) won't do those speakers justice.
