Really cool design on the speakers... Something new for us over here.

Could you snap off a few closer shots of them?

Very nice room - a true "home" listening area.

Thanks Vesuvius,

I did try some closer shots, but because the finish is so reflective they didn't come out very well, just reflections of what was around them. The Raidho web site has a gallery area with some very good shots of them. Standard finishes are black or walnut, mine are walnut. If you still want more shots I'll give it another try.

Just checked out the 2.1's. Interesting multi-port design.

Very nice finish. From the distance in your pic it looked like they were all that matte black/rubberized black finish like the front... The walnut look is very attractive.

As far as music is concerned I have a fairly wide taste, although I never got into classical. The first concert I ever attended was The Beatles, way back in 1963, the last one, a couple of months back, was Janis Ian, one of my all time favourites. Over the past few years I've been to concerts by Lucinda Williams, Gretchen Peters, Steve Earle, Fairport Convention, Lucy Kaplansky, Dr. John, Michelle Shocked, Kathy Mattea, Kate Rusby, Nancy Griffiths, Jethro Tull, The Manfreds, Cliff Richard & The Shadows and several others.

Best regards,

Colin.


Welcome! Great system and awesome taste in music. Happy to have you on the forum!

Joe

Colin,
Welcome and thanks for the pics. I've been to Newcastle a bit for work, and that part of England (among others) is one I'd like to return to a bit on my own time to enjoy.
