+1 Volti
Attention Horn Owners
Hey guys. I’m in the middle of making a few changes and seek your wisdom and help. Doing my research for speakers, I currently own Audio Note e/lx, and I think I might need a little more bass presence. These are wonderful, natural sounding speakers but I’m debating a change. Slightly more efficient would be nice, the AN’s are listed at 94db but some say measure closer to 92db. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Now for the post title. Doing my research I came across Volti. I like purchasing American made when I can, my amp and preamp are Aric Audio. I’ve never heard a horn speaker before. Reviews of some say they tend to be bright, which is a no go for my sensitive ears. Reviews did mention that Volti are not bright. So, any comments regarding ear fatigue and horn speakers or Volti speakers would be fantastic.
‘Finally, I live on Long Island. If there is any nearby who would be kind enough to allow me to listen to a horn speaker, there’s a six pack or bottle of wine in it for you! lol. I’d love to hear a pair before I spend 1 million hours researching different ones. Thanks in advance. Earthbound

If that’s the case, add a subwoofer. Other speakers including horns will sound different But if you still want to look elsewhere, a Volti vs Klipsch debate here |
Maybe get a subwoofer first, then see if you’re moving in the right direction. If so, maybe think about adding another subwoofer to even out nodes. If not, then can try a different speaker and maybe use the subwoofer also. I’m not familiar with Audio Note Sonics (soooooo many variations), but I believe they are highly musical. If you’re looking for a “musical” speaker, I find the Devore O/96 Speaker is One of the most “musical” speakers I ever demoed. |
