Hi Brett,
I knew you and David(Jetrexpro) would sniff out and identify the good stuff. Thank you both for your comments.

Hi Brett,
Good to know you and Jetrexpro will be there. If either of you have the inclination, I would be interested in getting both of your impressions of the show and what you all liked. The three of us seem to have similar taste.

Hi Chayro,
Was Jeff Catalano using the Horning speakers and what amplifiers was he using during your visit?

Thanks Chayro,
I understand the gearhead comment. I know he's demonstrated the Horning before and was curious if you heard them that's all.vI've heard his rooms on three occasions but always with the Cessaro horn models.

Thanks Jet,
I'm glad you and Brett enjoyed yourselves. Was the amplifier driving the Volti the Border Patrol? I know that they've shown together successfully in the past.

Jetrexpro,
You were quite impressed with the Raven 300b push pull amplifier driving the Volti speakers. Art Dudley (Stereophile) was very impressed with this amplifier driving Devore Orangutan O/96 speakers and wrote a flattering review. Almost predictably(with amps Dudley rates highly via his ears) John Atkinson found that it measured poorly. Once again proving there's no substitute for listing to a component.

Jet,
I suspect that your current SETamplifier would be a very fine match with the high efficiency Volti. I'd love to hear this speaker myself one day.

Sal,
Your preference for the 2A3 SET amplifiers makes sense to me. This speaker is high sensitivity (103-105 db range) and I believe an easy load to drive as well. Most often you're using fractions of 1 watt at up to moderately loud levels. So it would seem that a 26 watt amplifier is in overkill territory for a speaker this highly sensitive. The 2A3 amplifier would appear to be enough power and provide excellent sound as you attest to. Well based on your and Jet's reports the Volti was impressive with both amps that were rather different.
Charles,
