Any thoughts on Volent Speakers ?


Hi all,

I'm still looking to upgrade my system (start from scratch actually) and I've tried several speakers so far. The ones on my current short list are Sonus Faber Cremona M, Master Contemporary C and Volent VL-3. Any thoughts on these speakers, esp. the Volents. I heard these on the VAD show last month and was pleasently surprised. Any one out there who has them or chose another path? Thanks

I recently replaced my bookshelf N805 with the floorstanding VL-3, it's a big upgrade and I'm very satisfied with the performance. I listen to all kinds of music too and use Levinson amps to drive these boxes; VL-3 are easy to drive and they sound nice with good extension at both ends.
The only thing you must pay attention to is speaker placement. This one is with ribbon tweeter so it is better to put these boxes at off-axis position. Minimal or even no toe-in is recommended.
