The bad news is there is really no way for someone else to tell you a particular piece of equipment works well or not so well with these speakers because there are so many other variables. I bought into their engineering approach and the favorable reviews I read. I trusted the rest of my system to keep pace.
With my equipment, the D3's imaging and palpability are the best I've ever heard. My pair of speakers were purchased used from a man who loved them so much he is going to by the D5's at over $200K.

Cincy, you have an amazing system for which I envy you. Raidho is by far my favorite loudspeaker brand. Their speed, resolution and separation are proverbial. I tend to believe that Raidho's need amplifiers that give enough punch and speed in the bass department, amps that control the woofers with excellent results because their tweeter is very fast. I would say that a high damping factor si also a must. Pass Labs don't seem to be fit in this regard.
