House of Stereo • Store Demo • Raidho X1.6
A small speaker with very little interest in sounding small.
Some speakers earn their place by taking over the room. The X1.6 makes a different proposition: give it a proper pair of stands, a capable amplifier and your favorite record. Let the music do the decorating.
Raidho’s planar-magnetic ribbon tweeter and 6.5-inch Ceramix mid/bass driver sit in a substantial 20 mm cast-aluminum baffle. It is serious engineering in a compact package, built for listeners who care about the space around a voice as much as the voice itself.
Our store-demo offering is $5,250. Ask us about this pair’s condition, included stands and packaging, and the right amplifier for your room. Talk with House of Stereo or call (904) 642-6677.

Prepare to be amazed with the new X1.6
The front baffle is made of cast aluminum that is an impressive 20 mm thick. This heavy-duty construction is normally only seen in super High End loudspeakers. This makes for the perfect foundation to place the Raidho Ribbon Tweeter and the 6,5” Ceramix bass driver.
The X1.6 has an unbelievable open and transparent sound which can only come from the famous Ribbon Tweeter. But the bass performance and power by this small loudspeaker is just as impressive.
Prepare to be amazed with the new X1.6.
Raidho Series X
Drive Unit
This drive unit is not only highly advanced and built in-house in Denmark, but is also a piece of art.
Raidho’s Ceramix technology starts with a thin, aluminum cone and then uses a liquid plasma process and incredibly high voltage to transform the outer skin of the metal to aluminum-oxide ceramic. It’s a time-consuming and costly process, but the finished cone is a unique, natural sandwich, with thin, stiff skins on either side of a ‘softer” aluminum core, creating a structure that is stiffer and with excellent self-damping. Breakups first enter at an incredible 12.5 kHz.
The motor system consists of strong neodymium magnets focused around a very open system, allowing ventilation to the driver with the benefit of cooling the titanium voice coil and removing part of the design that usually causes distortions.
The result is that the speakers disappear even more from the equation, drawing a soundscape without audible distortion and with a pitch-black background that made the instruments stand out and create a holographic soundstage.
The LegendaryRaidho Ribbon Tweeter
Our proprietary, trademark ribbon tweeter is a unique design. It is completely designed and build 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 micron thick, which means it is 50 times less mass in comparison to a conventional dome tweeter. This is because there is no voice coil and the extreme low weight of the foil (20 milligram). The result is virtually no resonances or distortion, and the breakup point is at an incredible 82 KHz! What you hear is amazing clear and natural sound. All the detail in the world, but no fatigue, no distortion, and no coloration!
