Has anyone heard the TAD Evo One and the Raidho TD floorstanders? How do they compare?

Yes very nice @blisshifi !  Since I am sure you know my two sets of speakers, can you elaborate on how comparably sized Borenson and Raidho speakers compare and contrast?  I have YG Hailey 2's, which I am guessing you will say are even more accurate and resolving, and also my pair of venerable Salon 2's which may be more similar?  Thanks!

@fastfreight Honestly, I don’t have a ton of experience with either of your speakers. I know of them and may have heard them at shows or dealers over the years, but I haven’t had them in my room with electronics that I’m familiar with.

I do have a lot of respect for YG. As a Vivid Audio dealer, my distributor is Dick Diamond at GTT Audio, who was previously head of sales and marketing for YG. I’ve heard YG in their (either GTT’s or YG’s) rooms at shows over the years and have always been impressed, though they never captivated me as best of show. The Revels I’ve heard at dealers, but not with the best equipment. In most cases, based on what I’ve heard, I’d likely choose Borresen or Raidho over either. There’s something about the openness and how the music just soars with Borresen (annd mostly with Raidho ans well) over many others that I find myself gravitating to. If it’s not accurate, perhaps I prefer to find myself simply more emotionally involved with them. With Borresen specifically, I have heard few speakers that can parallel their ability to portray holographic at the soundstage size that they do. It doesn’t mean that they are better than YG or Revel - I may just not have heard those speakers performing at their best or with electronics that I was familiar with.

Borresen is trying to make a "statement " with their new X-3 floorstander @ 11K per pair. When other companies are giving you a wooden box at that price, the X-3's are a work of art....Musically and visually. Tremendous value.

Any T.A.D. speaker I have heard I have enjoyed, like Joseph Audio, Sonus, etc.

Years ago I dialed in a pair of used D2's into my 21' wide x 17' deep by 8'-12' l-r, side sloped ceiling, room (with two large openings side and rear). They are not concert machines but the will go down near flat to 31Hz and with power and speed.

These are my last speakers (I truly think). They creamed my Dynaudio Sapphires and I'd been pleased. I do use a DSPeaker Anti-mode unit to tame the room a bit and the Raidho bass blump I and others notice. A flat frequency response from those speakers makes recorded music sound stunning at any level (up to so high).

The Borreson's I've heard were fabulous but I might actually prefer Michael's D-series. I don't play concerts at home (thanks for the tweeter tip, blisshifi!) and the little woofers give in first if I get too excited (although I am less sure of that as I have changed amps to an Odyssey Kismet-amazingly audible positive changes including deeper stronger bass).

These two are my favorite brands. TAD sounds more 3d spacious with thickness while Raidho is more natural like with its ribbon twitter.
