Does hearing the best in high end audio make your opinions more valid?

 And with regards to Raidho leaving me cold, it doesn't mean that it sounded cold it means that it didn't grab me. It's been a while so I don't remember exactly but it just didn't move me and connect me to the performance.  As far as it not being set up right, that's a stretch to believe because it was a demo by one of the top dealers in the area. They chose every piece that went into it and I believe there were room treatments as well. So it's hard for me to believe that it wasn't set up right. And it sounded the same every time  I heard it which was probably about three or four.That's also where is subjective personal preference comes in. Some people prefer that thin analytical very detailed sound whereas to me it does not sound true to life.
 I would prefer more of a Tannoy Canterbury sound as it has more warmth and images better. I do believe Tannoy gets a little too warm sometimes but that's another story. Who is right? 

In terms of Raidho I know you heard it at a top dealer but my guys was set up by three Raidho people themselves. The came overseas to his cottage to set it all up. Speaker placement and electronics. The other thing is that when you hear Raidho with soulutions it is a very organic and analogue type sound. Try to hear that combination and it will give you a very musical, organic and analogue type sound. The guy who owned it hated any sound that was cold and analytical. This Raidho with soulutions electronics was the most organic  and natural sound I ever heard.

A lot of the dealers are demoing raidho with chord or other stuff.  But with the soulutions electronics and source it was more on the organic side.  Big images nice detail. Etc. 

One more thing the raidho people measured his room and placed the speakers. 

Once again matching is really important.
