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

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.

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.
