I have heard that there are some issues with the Raidho tweeter. Is that a misconception
I wonder how much difference there really is vs ScanSonic... seems like a 2-tiered marketing approach where the products don't really have to be any different...
If you can put it in them. They use other brand tweeters in their Scansonics. But they make the woofers. Interesting given that the C series down to the more affordable monitor uses their best tweeter (only tweeter). I'm a fan of that tweeter! But I don't have much confidence in their enclosure bracing and deadening to be honest. They like "energy" which is fine except that they lose a bit of control to make up for their unfantastic amplifiers (that's my guess as to what caused the performance to be a little off, at Axpona).
That would explain the bass sounding a little strange; big, for the size of the speakers but off. It doesn't make up for the wooly sound that I'm pretty certain is the amp that is their brand too. I think it makes total sense that their speakers are more popular, and they got good press as opposed to no press at a show, while using other electronics.

Have heard them at many shows -- I think the tweeter is excellent. Should be noted that my taste generally leans toward ribbons/planars vs domes.
In a direct component at Axpona, the comparably-sized Raidhos were fuller-sounding than the Scansonics and had more image density and depth. They should sound better -- it's a big cost disparity.
