@perkadin The Razz and the Forte do look a lot alike. Not to knock the Forte in any way, in my opinion the Razz sounds much better, the cabinet is made of higher grade material, and the drivers too are higher quality. It's tough to compare a somewhat smaller builder/artisan like Greg, to a big player in the market like Klipsch (or JBL for that matter.) They are loved the world over for good reason. Just for my tastes and the joy of the chase, the Volti just hit all my happy buttons.
You may consider stand mounts. I've heard the Golden ear BRX monitors several times and they are liquid gold. Surprise me every time that such full and musical sounds could come out of a monitor. Plus they much cheaper than those we've been discussing. I also have at home a pair of Tyler T1 Time Keepers. They sound amazing too. They are a bit power hungry tho... Very pretty speaker, I got the stands too from Ty. Pretty great guy to deal with, Like Greg from Volti. Tannoy and Fyne in the dual concentric camp are pretty great. I sold Tannoy at a local shop back when, I was completely smitten with them. The Tannoy Eaton or Cheviot.. one day I will own a pair.
Some dealers and manufactures will allow in home trial periods. That way you can bring them home, real world listening in home turf.
