Raidho Acoustics introduces the new X2.8 — a statement loudspeaker in the X Series.

Hand-built in Denmark, the X2.8 is designed for listeners who want more than impressive sound. It brings presence, scale, emotion, and detail together in a way that lets the loudspeakers disappear and the music take center stage.

With its 3-way design, dual 8-inch bass drivers, ultra-light ribbon tweeter, proprietary Raidho drivers, Mundorf components, Nordost cabling, and hand-built crossover, the X2.8 reflects the craftsmanship and precision behind the Raidho name.

An exciting new addition to the X Series, and a beautiful example of Raidho’s dedication to musical performance and thoughtful engineering.

Creek Audio introduces CYMATICS™ 6 — the first model in a new loudspeaker programme and an exciting new direction for the brand.

As part of a planned CYMATICS™ 3, 6, and 9 series, CYMATICS™ 6 sets the foundation for a scalable speaker range built around controlled dispersion, coherent phase behaviour, and balanced low-frequency performance in real-world listening spaces.

Alongside the new loudspeaker programme, Creek is also developing a new generation of integrated amplifiers based on its MOSFET Class A/B architecture, bringing the brand’s engineering heritage into a modern system platform.

A strong step forward for Creek Audio, with both CYMATICS™ 6 and the new prototype amplifiers set to be demonstrated at the Bristol Hi-Fi Show in room 410.

Introducing CYMATICS™ and a New Amplifier Direction

Creek announces the introduction of CYMATICS™ 6, the first model in a new three speaker programme that defines the brand’s loudspeaker development.

CYMATICS™ 6 forms the centrepiece of a planned trilogy comprising CYMATICS™ 3, 6, and 9. The range is structured around scale and system hierarchy, with each model engineered to serve a clearly defined acoustic role while sharing a common design and engineering platform.

The CYMATICS™ name references the science of sound wave pattern formation. For Creek, this translates into loudspeaker design focused on controlled dispersion, coherent phase behaviour, and balanced low frequency integration within real world listening environments.

CYMATICS™ 6 has been developed as the reference platform within the series. Cabinet architecture, crossover topology, and driver integration have been optimised to deliver controlled extension and spatial precision, while maintaining stable and realistic amplifier loading characteristics.

Alongside the loudspeaker programme, Creek is developing a new generation of integrated amplifiers built around its established MOSFET Class A/B architecture. The direction prioritises the brand’s engineering DNA while adapting it for contemporary system demands.

The CYMATICS™ programme represents more than a single product launch. It establishes a scalable loudspeaker platform and amplifier roadmap designed to strengthen Creek’s position within the performance driven segment of the British Hi Fi market.

Both the CYMATICS 6™ and new prototype amplifiers will be demonstrated at the forthcoming Bristol Hi-Fi show in room 410.

HiDiamond introduces the Performance Gold Series — a refined cable range designed for listeners who want high-level performance with smart value.

Using HiDiamond’s patented UP-4VRC Ultra Pure Single Crystal Copper technology, the series takes their 4VRC design to an even higher level of purity and signal performance.

By combining UP-4VRC copper with graphite, the Performance Gold Series is engineered to reduce unwanted noise and preserve the musical signal with greater clarity, precision, and natural detail.

A strong addition to the HiDiamond catalogue, bringing advanced technology and excellent performance together in a thoughtful way.

Performance Gold Series
The Performance Gold series represents the medium-high part of the HiDiamond catalogue. It uses the new and patented UP-4VRC, Ultra Pure Single Crystal Copper© (UP-SCC 4VRC) technology.
We have taken the performance of our proprietary 4VRC© technology to a higher level, improving its processing in order to achieve and obtain greater purity of the copper wire, compared to the already fantastic 4VRC© (Single Crystal Copper) (SCC 4VRC). To find out more, see the link to our technology.
Using the best resources always with a careful eye on the end customer's wallet.
In this area, we are already at levels of excellence. The series also uses GRAPHITE combined with UP-4VRC copper, Ultra Pure Single Crystal Copper© (UP-SCC 4VRC), in order to completely eliminate noise and the skin effect.

La serie Performance Gold, rappresenta la parte medio alta del catalogo HiDiamond. Utilizza la nuova e brevettata tecnologia UP-4VRC, Ultra Pure Single Crystal Copper© (UP-SCC 4VRC).
Abbiamo portato le prestazioni della nostra tecnologia proprietaria 4VRC© ad un livello superiore, migliorandone la lavorazione in maniera da raggiungere ed ottenere una maggiore purezza del filo di rame, rispetto alla già fantastica 4VRC© (Single Crystal Copper) (SCC 4VRC). Per saperne di più vedi link alla nostra tecnologia.
Utilizzando le migliori risorse sempre con un attento occhio al portafoglio per il cliente finale.
In questa area, siamo già a livelli di eccellenza. La serie utilizza anche la GRAFITE in unione al rame UP-4VRC, Ultra Pure Single Crystal Copper© (UP-SCC 4VRC), in maniera da eliminare il rumore è completamente l’effetto pelle.

Signal Performance Gold
Cable with proprietary UP-4VRC, Ultra Pure Single Crystal Copper© (UP-SCC 4VRC) technology.

The graphite in this solution allows you to block the noise generated inside the cable by the passage of the electrical signal (which is nothing other than the musical signal), to bring out a perfect signal without any introduction of noise that would ruin the result final.

Signal Performance Gold
Cavo con tecnologia proprietaria UP-4VRC, Ultra Pure Single Crystal Copper© (UP-SCC 4VRC).

La grafite in questa soluzione permette di bloccare il rumore generato all’interno del cavo dal passaggio del segnale elettrico (che non è altro che il segnale musicale), per portare in uscita un segnale perfetto senza nessuna introduzione di rumore che andrebbe a rovinare il risultato finale.
