Btw, the Rivals have a wooden midrange horn designed and fabricated by Greg. It's sweet!
Tannoy or Volti
I have a friend who has the Tannoy Prestige GRF 90 for sale he is moving out of the country for half price, he paid $29000 in around 2020 not made in China. I am upgrading my Forte IVs, I am also considering the Volti audio Lucera…anyone that has heard the Tannoy and any other suggestions which will be better would be appreciated….I have a few first watt amps and several tube amps…plus Jeff Rowland and Pass Labs amps..

Couldn't agree more with @whiteknee I am a proud owner of a pair of Razz that I had Greg add some custom veneer and grill cloth. If one is interested in the journey of auditioning speakers, then a conversation and trip to meet Greg and have a listen is completely worth it. (He also happens to be a great guy to hang out with, listening to great music and eating killer Mexican food). For me My Volti check all the boxes, and they are hand built in the US. I have always been a fan of Tannoy, I've owned a couple different pair. I was also very impressed with all of the Fyne speakers I've heard at various shows. Still for me there's no moving away from Volti at this point. |
There precious few Klipsch speakers that I would consider very good (maybe none). Klipsch was designed in a time long ago when Amps had no power and the only criteria was loudness. Not much has changed with their designs because the purists demand nostalgia. Volti is a better speaker in every measurable way from driver quality to cabinet construction, etc. If you like Horns, the Volti is a good choice and you can call the designer up on the phone and have a conversation with him! That in and of itself is gold in my book. No offense intended to the Klipsch faithful, I just think there are much better speakers for the money. |
