Srajan, I see you're on a solid Raidho trip. It's a great idea to review three of their small monitors so we learn what more money buys. Or not? The price spread is huge so that part will be very interesting. Will you have them all side by side at one point by any chance? Chris
The X1t is already packed up ready to return. The MB1 B won't be available in wood veneer for another two months though I could of course get the gloss black in inventory. The TD1.2 is coming in very shortly but at €20K/pr, I couldn't in good conscience hold onto it until the Scansonic trundles in. So no in situ comparisons. I'll be using the same systems however to get as close to meaningful hints about sonic differences as I can. Here a shout-out is due to Dantax who've been amazingly prompt to respond and happy to accommodate my requests. It's not just a matter of finding fun stuff to write about. It must be available to ship; and makers willing to ship to Ireland and back. In these days of skyrocketing ship fees, serious delays on parts and many Chinese factories closed which build things like speaker cabinets, none of that is as easy as it used to be. Fair question however about side-by-side comparisons. That's the only real way to do them. I didn't enter the X1t review with any intentions to expand into more Dantax monitors. The experience was simply so impressive that I thought "why not ask". I aimed at the most budget-friendly Scansonic next but Raidho so happened to have a traveling TD1.2 demonstrator on hand first. I'm obviously stoked to learn what more Raidho can do with a scaled-up X1t concept when money is no issue. So that's how this happened. Dumb luck you might say! Srajan
