Est. year: 2003

Raidho Acoustics is a Danish loudspeaker maker based in Pandrup in northern Jutland, founded in 2001 with designer Michael Børresen among its founders. The company builds high-end passive loudspeakers and subwoofers around its own planar ribbon tweeter and in-house drivers, and it operates as part of the Dantax Radio group, which acquired it in 2009.

Range & what it's known for

Raidho organises its speakers in two families. The X Series aims at maximum performance per euro and includes the compact X2t, now also offered as a 25th Anniversary Edition. The TD Series is the no-compromise tier, with models such as the TD3.10, a floorstanding three-way with five drivers, and the TD8 SUB and TD10 SUB, the brand's first subwoofers with diamond-coated drivers. Discontinued models remain documented on the website, and stands and equipment racks round out the catalogue. The signature part is the planar magnetic ribbon tweeter, handmade in Denmark, whose 11-micron foil weighs about 20 milligrams and has its breakup point at 82 kHz. Mid and bass units use strong neodymium magnets and very stiff, light diaphragms, in the TD models coated with diamond.

Who owns it and where it's made

Raidho is owned by Dantax Radio A/S, a Danish holding with roots in 1971 that also controls the Scansonic HD, Gamut and Harmony names. Dantax took over the former Scan-Speak factory in Pandrup in 1977, and that site is now home to Raidho. Drivers and other key components are produced in-house there, so design, driver building and final assembly all stay under one Danish roof.

The lineup in this catalog

Loudspeakers. The smaller X Series models cost about EUR 15,000, and the largest TD Series systems go well past EUR 300,000.

Who it's for

Raidho fits listeners prepared to spend at the top of the market on passive speakers with in-house drivers and a ribbon tweeter. Owners can begin with a compact X Series stand-mount such as the X2t, move to the TD Series floorstanders, and extend an existing pair later with a TD subwoofer. Choose it when you want a single Danish maker to handle the whole speaker, from tweeter foil to cabinet, and have amplification able to drive demanding high-end loads.
