OK, if that is the case then I have at least found some closure.
I do find X1 very very insensitive. Your estimation of less then 80db is totally possible.

I suggest Raidho taking out the "Though...

Thanks KIWI.
Sonus Faber Guarneri Evo is rated only 86db(85db according to Stereophile test) at 4ohm. Surprisingly, even LM 210IA (300B 8W) can drive it to a satisfing level in my 4mx3m room.

Yes, I did. Every word of it.:snicker:



Amplification:

>50 W (Though we have seen excellent results with small tube amplifiers)

Has anybody matched Raidho X1 with a SET tube amp?
Recently, I purchased Line Magnetic 210IA(300B 8wX2) and Line Magnetic AS-125 (211tube SET 18wX2) to just explore the tube world.
Both amps work...

Hi Galactic
My room is only slightly larger than yours(3x4.2 meters).
The A-35 can drive SF guanerri evo very well, but less so with Raidho X1, which works better with the 300w ML 532H.
So, maybe...

Price from low to high:
ELAC 310 (the smallest in size)
SONUS FABER MINIMA VINTAGE
RAIDHO X1

I happen to have Red Dawn LS connected to my EVOs. From CD to Pre to Amp to EVOs, the wires are Tye2,Red Dawn and Red Dawn.
The EVOS have arrived for 2 month now and I find them very hard to...

I had to make a tough decision between S1 and Guarneri Evo about 2 month ago.
They actually cost similar here.
I went for EVO for my small roombut am still thinking about S1 from time to time.

Welcome MDF! It's great to see another member from Asia.:hi:

Hegel H160 ----- not warm sounding
Musical Fidelity M6si - warm sounding
Naim Supernait 2 -a little warm sounding
McIntosh MA5200 - very warm sounding

Scansonic 2.5- never heared them, but if...

So interesting because they have started marketing this brand recently here in China and struggled to find a suitable Chinese name.:D
How about RF? like what Capriccio Continuo did, now known as CC...

Smooth? Based on my limited experience,Spendor. And if you don't mind the price, Raidho.

Actually the room isn't that small. It's the giant speakers that makes the illusion.
Replace them with a pair of mini （eg ELAC 310 with port blocked) and such room will still deliver listening...

Great room and set up!
If,"The D3 has at least twice the resolution and dynamics of the C3", what would that make of my little X1.....feel like crying:huh:

I had the same problem with the vocal and a carpet between the speakers solved the problem mostly.

I always wanted a room like yours.....

When quartz watch was invented late 60s and early 70s, everybody thought there was no future for the high-end mechanical watches anymore.
Because they are beaten in every way technically.
In fact,...

I have noticed Accuphase has been updating their products more frequent than before.
If buying the whole highend Accuphase system (dp900+3850+A200 for example) in one go, it's better have a first...

Mike,I've never owned Harbeth so I can't do any comparision.
For Spendor, I owned A6 and currently own 1/2R2(sub flagship model in the Classic range).
In short, rolled off highs,slightly lifted...

Correction. Hegel's manufacturing is actually contracted to the Beijing based Opera Audio(owner of the Consonance brand) instead of Shanglin as mentioned in my previous post.
The rumour is that...

Great speaker Zero!
Will we see a youtube review soon?
Harbeth and Spendor are often thought as direct competing brands but I guess Harbeth is more popular in North America.

Thanks Kiwi and Cole. It's such a relief to know the noise issue is common and normal.
The noise isn't really a problem but it would be just nice without it, especially considering the brand's...

I have a K5 and I turn it on typically 1 hour before listening, along with other components.
Somehow I feel unsafe to leave my system on when I am not home.

A sidetrack question:
Is any of the...

Youtube is blocked here and I had to log on to a VPN to watch the video.
The video resolution is great I could see so much detail of the speaker (and your face too:lol:)
I've always been a fan of...

I missed the deleted thread but I can use my imagination.
My view is that, internet/forum complains should only be used after all face to face negotiations attempts have failed.
I remember that not...
