Raidho D1/C1.1 vs Dynaudio C1 vs Magico Q1

Hi,
I am looking to upgrade to a state of the art monitor speaker. Excellent dynamics, transparecy (without dryness),coherent sound and impressive bass extension (for a monitor) are the characteristics I am looking for. The partnering equipment is Resolution audio Cantata (source), Marantz SC-7s2 (pre-amp) & Burmester 956 mk. II (amplifier). I would appreciate if any of the members (who own these or have auditioned and compared these) can give me some valuable feedback/impressions on how these speakers compare to one another (I realize that the Dynaudio is at a much lower price point). I know the technology in the Raidho monitors is very impressive but is the sound that much more special?
Where I live, I do not have access to any dealer who has these brands.
Many thanks!

There is an upcoming Audio show in San Francisco and also in Toronto. Vancouver is a short car ride away. You will be able to hear these speakers there.

Raindog031, sorry for the late reply. In my first post in this thread I have sounded a bit like I was picking on you. That was certainly not my intention. Since this post is not about Avantgarde speakers and/or rock and metal music I will answer you in more detail on my system page. Best wishes, Paul.

Emailists, I'm surprise you can drive the TAD CR1 with Atma-Sphere MA-1 mk3.1. CR1 is a tough load ... Have you try higher current amps?

I have purchased the Vitus RI-100 integrated. Running now with the Esoteric 10's speaker. Esoteric 10's no longer available and were pulled off the market due to the cost of manufacturing. They were rated A in Absolute Sound for a short person of time then pulled off the market. If you buy a used pair for a start up system go for it. Remarkable for their cost. Reviews are all over the place. Sorry I am off target I my question.
Has anyone coupled the Raidho D-1 speakers with the Vitus Integrated? I am completely satisfied with the Vitus performance. Valin stated that the D-1's with the Velodyne 10" Sub constitutes a very high end system.
Any thoughts criticism.
