The speakers look fine in your room. Plenty of space around them. I would ignore everyone and enjoy. Tell your wife it will cost 40K to get the same sound. That should change her mind fast.
Any normal size speakers that sound like Volti
I've had these early prototype Volti speakers I bought from Greg 8-10 years ago, but I am set up in the living room with these large speakers . Family and friends always complain about the size, and I just ignore them. Lately, my wife who agreed to the purchase has been grumbling about their size.
I've been considering going to a more normal sized speaker, but want to keep most of Volti horn sound. I drag in my Joseph Audio RM25xl speakers and after a few days, I drag the Volti's back in.
Using Atma-Sphere D amps and Mp3 preamp. Bricasti dac and Elrod cables. I stuck an old picture in systems so you get the idea of the scale. I will get new pictures later and finish system.
I know it's unlikely, but maybe one of you can think of something.
