Raidho X2.6

Raidho X2.6

An elegant high-end floor-standing loudspeaker of the highest order.

Raidho Acoustics, renowned for pushing the boundaries of audio engineering, proudly announces the world premiere of their latest offering in the X series. The X series stands for eXtreme performance for the price. Of course, these are not cheap products, by any standard. But the brand new X2.6 features a tweeter that is derived from the TD 6. A EUR 230,000 statement speaker. It is also built in-house in Denmark with drive units that are crafted by hand.

The Goal

The ambitions of the X2.6 are basically the same as any Raidho speaker. We try to achieve:

• Extremely low noise/coloration of the sound

• Dramatic, energetic sound with a very wide soundstage

• Hear every detail, but no fatigue

• Very easy to listen to

• A unique sonic holography

• The sound appears right out of the blue

• Very authentic and close to the original

The Bottom End

The loudspeaker rests not on spikes, but on very smartly constructed feet with integrated decoupling. This speaker itself stands on ceramic balls which are not visible from the outside. This setup works wonders for the sound but does not damage the floor. The beautifully integrated bass reflex ports can be dampened, so the bass does not overpower smaller rooms. The connections may look small and inferior, but are actually designed to provide the best possible contact to your cables and the crossover.

Made in Denmark

In Pandrup, Denmark, we have our own unique production of drive units, crossovers, and assembly line. We are proud to say that we have our own dedicated team with extraordinary skills that brings the quality of Raidho to life. True craftsmanship and passion for every single detail are in our hearts.

Drive Unit

This drive unit is not only highly advanced and built in-house in Denmark, but is also a piece of art.

The result is that the speakers disappear even more from the equation, creating a soundscape without audible distortion and with a pitch-black background that makes the instruments stand out and creates a holographic sound stage.

The Legendary Raidho Ribbon Tweeter

Our proprietary, trademark ribbon tweeter is a unique design. It is completely designed and built by hand in-house in Denmark. To be exact, it is a Planar Magnetic Tweeter due to the tracks in the foil. The foil is 11 microns thick, which means it has 50 times less mass compared to a conventional dome tweeter. This is because there is no voice coil and the extremely low weight of the foil (20 milligrams). The result is virtually no resonances or distortion, and the breakup point is at an incredible 82 kHz! What you hear is an amazingly clear and natural sound. All the detail in the world, but no fatigue, no distortion, and no coloration!

What the press is saying about the

Raidho X2.6

ROBERT HARLEY:

“The X2.5 simply disappeared as a sound source, filling the large room with a wide, deep, highly defined soundstage populated with tangible images. The X2.6 shared the stage with the mighty TD6 (€210k). Based on the X2.6’s huge soundstage, one could believe that the TD6 was playing, not the smaller speaker. The X2.6’s bass was more than adequate to fill the big room. On a price-to-performance basis, the €21,000 Raidho X2.6 was one of the show’s most remarkable debuts.”
