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.
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..

I haven’t heard either of the two models you mention @charles007100 . I do have a pair of Devore Fidelity O Baby’s that I love. For your budget you could look up some of the higher end models. And if you are willing to look outside of the US I also have a pair of Qualio IQs from Qualio Audio, Poland. Semi open baffle. Excellent sound. Between the two, the Devores are my favourite. |
