Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed?


Looking for efficient speakers. I had the opportunity to listen to a Cornwall IV yesterday. It was run on nice tubes (Primaluna 400 EL34s) with a bluesound node streamer/dac.

QUESTION: I'm curious if anyone has compared CW IV with Volti Rival of Razz. Thoughts?

QUESTION 2: Anyone know what changed in the Volti Razz when it moved from v. 2 to v. 3?

Thanks

Cornwall is designed to be close to wall but being close to wall is an inherent limitation when it comes to imaging, soundstage, etc.

 

So personally, if I needed speakers very close to the wall I have heard Cornwalls, liked them for what they are at their price point, which is somewhat unique these days, and would highly consider them.  Otherwise not so much.   

I clearly remember that thread. The problem was that Silverfox was browbeating the forum in a very explicit manner as if he were desperate to "make a sale." It became kind of unnerving.

The Volti’s I have heard at shows including Razz are also very good and pass the mapman litmus test for speakers I would consider owning.   I recall in every case there was decent distance to walls involved with Volti.
