Have you guys looked at the Bob Crites Cornscala.
Has anyone ever heard these speakers by Volti Audio?
I have read a few things about Volti Audio (in Nashville TN). Has anyone ever heard a pair?
Most specifically the Vittora : http://voltiaudio.com/vittora/.
These might really match well with my tube amp but are quite expensive.

I have the original Alura, which was before the midrange horn was made vertical . Looks a lot like a Klipsch, but on steroids. Sounds great with Low powered amps, or powerful amps. I have upgraded all components to current model, as Greg has made some big upgrades since the original . Beautiful woodwork . Love to get home from a stressful day and listen to them! As long as I own a room large enough to accommodate them, they will stay. I do have to say they are horns, and you can locate the tweeters while listening to some music. Dispersion not as wide as other tweeters. I have mine set up on a short wall, but Greg sets his up on the long wall. Vittorias are supposed to be on another level. |
I had a pair a pair of Crites Cornscalas. Not what you're looking for. I pretty much gutted the speaker except the woofer, and ordered Volti's K-Horn upgrade kit which includes the Beyma 4592, Beyma CP25 tweeters and K-Horn V-Track Horn, internal wiring with Supra cables, Cardas binding posts and mounted it atop the Cornscala cabinet. Xover from Aletheia Audio. http://www.klipschupgrades.com/khornupgrades2.shtml Not pretty but sounds great to me. I now have the midrange and tweeter of a Volti and the bass of a Cornwall. https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/162042-my-k-hornwalls/ Have Crites build you a speaker cabinet, order the above upgrades and add a subwoofer if you like and voila! Poor man's Vittora. :^) |
I have heard the Vittoras at audio shows several times, with and without subwoofers, and always came away favorably impressed. The woodwork to my eyes seems excellent, as noted above. I'm a horn person. I seriously considered the Vittoras myself. Greg strikes me as knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. As an alternative horn style, with reasonable pricing, take a look at Charney Audio, New Jersey. Note: I am a customer and acquaintance, so I am favorably biased, but with good reason. |
