Tannoy or Volti

@ditusa 

what have you compared the JBLs too?…listening to side by side?…and amps are you using …

Are the Tannoy at upscale the ones from China?

Thanks for the suggestions…

Probably. But I have some China-made Kensington GR drivers that actually sound better than an earlier UK-made set of the same. Couldn’t tell them apart visually, except for stickers. Quailty doesn’t necessarily suffer from the origin. I used to be against the China-made Tannoys, but this opened my eyes. Cabinets are still made in Poland, same as they always were (excellent quality). Final assembly - who really cares; a trained child could do it. 

Either way, 50% off full MSRP for a used set isn’t a very friend-ly price. Far from it. 

It's nice to have a full complement of amps.  

Klipsch is or has upgrading the LaScala and Klipschorns.  The changes look very positive.  Otherwise Volti Rival.

I am told the Tannoy has a very warm sound.  I only heard a smaller one, Cheviot or Arden.  

Any of these should do a lot of things very well.  Otherwise, I always hear Joseph Audio praised very highly.  Other end of efficiency  but not that hard to drive.

I've owned Forte and currently have Razz.  They are similar in the type of sonic signature but the Voltis are much better built and smoother sound.  The bass of the Razz kicks azz.  

@bodega Greg has a deal on his website for the Lucera, have you heard the difference between the Razz and Lucera?

No audition period,
