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

First off, I've never owned any horn speaker. I have listened to them many times at audiophile friends houses, dealers, and at shows. Klipsch fans please don't flame me, just posting my personal experience. That said, I have never heard a Klipsch speaker that I thought to myself "I must go buy this"; they've been really good, but not magical

I have though, heard Volti speakers that made me drool over the thought of owning them. I've heard the Razz many times (in many environments), and always have been really impressed with the sound.....dynamics like I have never heard in any speakers. They also seem to be very forgiving of set up, as long as you follow a few rules.

Recently one of those friends of mine (who has only owned horn loaded speakers), upgraded to the Volti Lucera. To my ear they are some of the best speakers at any price I have heard.

I also will be looking at the Pure Audio Project Trio 15, which has several options for tweeters including a horn.

Certainly understand about not wanting to have buyers remorse.

If you're considering Tannoy, I'd also highly consider Fyne Audio. Fyne was started with the core of Tannoy's design team in 2017, after Tannoy was sold to a Chinese company. The team includes Dr. Paul Mills as technical director. All Fyne high end speakers use cryo treated electronics, and are built in Scottland.
