    Raidho XT-1 - New Version of the Award Winning X-1

    Wireworld is a good choice that is what I use with them. Also had great success with audience cabling which is even more of an aesthetic fit

    Raidho XT-1 - New Version of the Award Winning X-1

    I actually bought Raidho higher level speakers (D2) and didn’t like them as much as the XT-1s. Other than my TAD CR1s the only time my room was spaciously and completely filled with music has been with the XT-1s (with two REL small subs). When I build my music room I plan on driving them with...

    Haha I’m glad to see someone who has dropped down the audio rabbit hole has kept his sense of humor and perspective :-)

    Raidho XT-1 - New Version of the Award Winning X-1

    I have the XT1 speakers which I am keeping and won’t sell after having Maggie 20.7, Magico S5, etc. I think 100 wpc tube or solid state or class A is way to go. I think tube or class A is way to get the most of these holographic wonders. Something that has high current and doubles down from 8...

    I bought the floorstanding Raidho C2.2. I like my XT-1s with REL subs (speaker wire attached not interconnect attached) better. Easier to position subs for in room response and for some reason I felt the XT1 are more spacious and image better. But my comparison was two different rooms with...

    I would go with two smaller subs like the RELs. Smaller subs tend to be quicker and two subs (vs one) usually fair better.

    Raidho XT-1 - New Version of the Award Winning X-1

    That’s a super hard choice. If you are wanting desktop for near field or if you want the speakers out in the room on stands then the Audience is nice and tiny tidy solution. But beauty of the XT-1 is that million dollar tweeter and the fact you can have these close to rear walls in a small room...

    Hello - the Audience are awesome little speakers and like the XT1s they defy their little size, are super coherent, nail the mids/voices, and disappear. I think the XT1 speakers do all of those things a little bit better especially throwing a more expansive soundstage.

    I agree the footers that come with the XT-1 are utter nonsense. A $30 CD player from Walmart has better feet on it. Right now I have my XT1s sitting on a svelte symposium platform to help compensate. Also at 6’1” I’m a little taller in the seating position and have realized over the years adding...

    Congrats on your purchase of the XT-1s. I believe it is one of those audio products that goes so far above its physical and financial specs, where 20 years from now it will be viewed as a game changer. I spent July 4th at my home in Bend and hooked up my Zanden 6000 integrated (just received...

    What part of the woofers did you apply the wax to? I love my XT1s so much I bought another pair for my home theater room (with audience flagship mini monitors as center).
