Raidho Acoustics President Michael Børresen explains the thinking behind the unique Raidho speaker stands. Filmed at Blink High End in Cambridge, MA. www.blinkhighen... www.raidho.dk/
I own a pair of Raidho speakers, actually Raidho C1 with stands. The difference with and without their stands is sky and earth...This man is a genius...
Really not convinced with the stands. I’ve had instances where the hollow metal tube has resonated so much that it was audible. l’ve tried to reduce this by filling the hollow tube with sand. Even so there is still a resonance around 40hz. Vibrations can be felt even at low levels. What makes this worse is that the tube is screwed directly into the upper support, so that all the vibration is transmitted to the speaker. The curved MDF support also vibrates, this must be radiating unwanted sound into the room. Also, this is a bit too lightweight to support the speaker - mine has warped over time. Nice idea that needs more refinement. No height adjustment to allow for uneven floors was also an oversight. A significant improvement can be had (if on a wooden floor) by placing granite cutting board’s beneath the stands. l’ve also placed a heavy weight on each speaker base and believe this further improves the sound.

It's interesting how much a stand can make a difference to the sound.
I'm Glad I have concrete walls and floors in my house. Would be intrested to know if there are any used or demo Radho loudspeakers in England.
