Are you thinking of Nordost's room with Raidho X Monitors?
Speaker question for RMAF attendees
This year at RMAF in, I believe, the very first, or possibly 2nd at the top of the stairs on the Atrium Level there was a room with a pair of speakers I'm seriously interested in. An emergency page caused me to have to leave quickly and I never got back to the Marriott.
I "believe" the room was a european room but could be wrong. The speakers were bookshelf models in silver cases with a +/- 7" mid under ribbon tweets sitting atop ultra contemporary stands and filled the HUGE room easily (think Magico mini II's here!) with sound.
I've tried ever since using every resource available to me to find them but no luck. My hope is that someone here was perhaps as smitten as I was with them or at least sat up and took notice or perhaps picked up a brochure.
TIA for any possible leads!

Yes gentlemen they were the Raidho X Monitors! Only available in gloss black/gloss silver. And RMAF pair were definitely silver (least when I was in the room tho I cannot say if they had a black pair there also). Also correct on positioning as they were indeed "set very widely apart" at RMAF. I still can't believe the ceramic mid/bass drivers were only 100mm/3.937" diameter. Incredible! Thanks to everyone that posted here and the emailer who invited me to call today as he had pics, component and vendor info for every room. |
Here it is. It's one of Albert Porter's pictures of RMAF 2010. http://live.audiogon.com/i/rmf2010/f/1287973092.jpg Chuck |
