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 noticed the trend when I would see a bunch of something that I was considering and thinking it would be easy to find one and then by the time I was ready, nada.

Personally i would choose Borresen over Raidho today.Borresen 03s are the ones i'd like to purchase as soon as possible.Best speakers i have heard in the past few years, i've listened to Borresen's full line of speakers and the 03 is the sweet spot.If you are a Raidho fan you might want to look at Borresen and compare.

The Raidho D1.1 is one of the nicer looking bookshelf I have ever seen in burl walnut, but at $37,000 USD/pair when they were being sold, they offer some of the most extraordinarily bad value when it comes to speakers out there. Not only that, but the woofer is crossed over so high, it would beam terribly. Just an all around bad design, would measure and sound pretty bad.


For the same price, you can get yourself the SUBSTANTIALLY beefier, better made and nicer looking TAD Compact Reference 1 bookshelf speakers.

Of course, limiting yourself to bookshelf speakers in this price bracket is a bit nutty. You get way, way more for your money if you look at floor standers.
