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

Always great to hear speaker dreams come true! Cable upgrades next lol.

Enjoy!

I found the CW4 to be a little darker than the Forte 4. Lived with both. The CW4 plays a bit bigger and is more dynamic. The Forte seems a little more detailed and lifelike.

I've not heard the Volti. Probably a little better in all regards especially as you move up and pay the premiums. It's all worth it if you can go for it.

If I could post a photo, there is a label on the back of the Forte IV that says the cabinets are made by craftsman in Hope Arkansas.

Done. It's probably a vintage sticker lol.

I've never been entirely satisfied with the construction of Klipsch speakers, despite owning one currently and in the past. However, it's important to acknowledge that most speakers, regardless of their price (mine go up to $20k), have identifiable flaws.

The owner points out all the flaws of the company he learned from and copied. It shows a level of no-holds- barred bravery that caters perfectly to the high testosterone ballers like we are. I'd love to see a durability test, like driving a truck over the speakers, and sharing that on YouTube. Or even better, let's have the Audiophiliac put on some football pads and crush those boxes. I'd happily contribute $100 to see either of these happen.

I have the Forte on a second system with a Leben 300xs and enjoy the combination. They're not lifelong speakers but like everything else I've ever owned, will add to my enjoyment of hearing new things. The Cornwalls had a bit more effortlessness and the Forte's IMO have a little more detail without being too bright. I found the CW4 a little more relaxed for my tastes. I played the CW4 with an Audionote Cobra, McIntosh C28 and MC2125, and my favorite, the Coda CSIB with 18 wpc A. 

There are many great horn speakers. Cessaro is the best i've heard and come to know a bit. 

@silverfoxvtx1800 congrats on the Razz! They will be amazing. I'd listen to that playlist for a few days prior and just change them out. You will get a good idea right out of the box. Play them harder when you can for a couple hundred hours and you will notice changes.

Have fun! Report back.

I haven't been on Agon in a few weeks and come back to this thread. It's like a pimp beat down. What happened?

Hey everyone,

So, I’ve been wondering about Silverfox—remember him? The user who seemed to have an endless supply of enthusiasm about his speaker reports? His excitement was practically contagious! But then, poof—he vanished without a trace.

I can only come up with a couple of theories:

1. AI Conspiracy: What if Silverfox was actually an AI bot designed to promote the company he was so ardently praising? Maybe he was too convincing, and now he's been deactivated for being too enthusiastic. “Mission accomplished, now shut down.”

2. Home Drama: Or maybe, just maybe, his wife got fed up with his daily routine of sipping coffee and admiring his speakers. “Look, Silverfox, either you get a hobby or I’m tossing your speakers and computer out the window!” And thus, his computer—and his online presence—were no more.

But let’s not forget the third option:

3. The Great Escape: Perhaps Silverfox has embarked on a grand adventure, escaping the confines of his audio chair and bass traps to explore the world. Maybe he’s found a new passion—like competitive duck herding or underwater basket weaving.

If anyone has any other wild theories or has seen any signs of Silverfox, let us know. Until then, keep your coffee close and your speakers closer!
