Thank you Charles. I’m thinking the same thing with Audio Note, all in with Soro amp and speaker upgrade. Just not sure I want to continue down that avenue and run into the same issue. Thank you for the Aric reassurance. It’s my first venture into this realm and I always second guess myself. I did notice that the Volti’s are 99db efficiency. That gives me even more room for greater volume and dynamics at lower volumes, hopefully! I need to listen to them for sure. Damn it’s a bit far but do not want to make a mistake. Thanks again and good luck in your search.
Tannoy or Volti
I have a friend who has the Tannoy Prestige GRF 90 for sale he is moving out of the country for half price, he paid $29000 in around 2020 not made in China. I am upgrading my Forte IVs, I am also considering the Volti audio Lucera…anyone that has heard the Tannoy and any other suggestions which will be better would be appreciated….I have a few first watt amps and several tube amps…plus Jeff Rowland and Pass Labs amps..

I can't speak for the Tannoy but certainly can for the Volti. I see @charles007100 visited a local Volti owner and had a great experience, I am driving my Volti Razz with a First Watt F8 and have the Modwright LS99. tube preamp as part of the lineup. The pairing is superb. Do yourself a favor and contact Greg. He is engaging to talk with and a craftsman. I have also done the Pilgrimage to Baxter and spent a night on the shop floor camp cot - very comfortable. I listened to my Razz in Gregg's living room and we boxed them up and I left the next morning after an espresso with Gregg. Learned quite a bit as to speaker building and quality. |
Or hop on the motorcycle and make a trip of it! He has been very accommodating and helpful. It makes me want to go that direction potentially when you are dealing with someone like that. I got that same help from Aric. Made in the US, great customer service and genuinely nice people. |
OP Looks like you found the speaker you are going to enjoy, the Volti Razz. i have not heard a Volti, but its reviews are very good. if it were me, i would see if i can get to audition a Fyne, just to cover my bases. I know it quite difficult to listen to all speakers, but if you happen to find what you wanted, then stick to it. I used every opportunity to listen to gears in audio shows. So, i can determine what i want. it's not the end all, but to benchmark what I wanted. Hopefully the Volti is your end game. Then build the corresponding amp combination around it |
