Tannoy or Volti

I am glad to hear you had that opportunity @charles007100 

You described pretty well what I consider the Volti house sound. 

Also glad you got to compare them with some Klipsch. They may look similar on the surface, but surely sound different. My pair of Volti Razz replaced a pair of Klipsch Heresy IV's. The difference is stunning. The volti's never shout or hoot at me, they remain sweet and smooth, even at high volumes. 

In comparing the Razz to the Lucera or Rival, the bigger brothers carry the house sound, just bigger and wider in my opinion. 

I have yet to hear my Razz paired up with anything other than tubes, (a Cary SLI80HS to be exact). I've heard the Razz sound great with First Watt, and PASS amplification as well. 

Listened to them once with border patrol SIT amp, maybe 5 WPC.. still amazing. 

They sounded really fine with the Alan Eatons Monos a couple watts..but the 10 watt First Watt Sit-4 was over the top good…thinking about my experience yesterday, the bass was perfect a good example was with this song by Deepjack Can’t Stop…and Robert Cristian Tell Me Why…

The midrange horn I don’t know what he did to it but the music flows out effortlessly and fills the room and took me to my happy place, the song by Portico, Living Fields 101(feat. Joe Newman) sounds bright on the Forte but the Volti Razz is heavenly..the vocals on the song Perfect by Ed Sheeran is so clear and emotional it will make you love your wife again..lol

Just beautiful…

As a CWIV owner, I’ve definitely been intrigued by Volti, all the more following this thread. Like a few others on Agon, mine have been upgraded with the Don Sachs recipe of caps and resistors, along with better binding posts and dynamat damping of horns, etc., all of which radically improved them. I’d love to hear a report comparing the Razz or Rival to  Sachs-type modded CWIV. Anyone?

I hate to say it but the Volti speaker was amazing, it’s like the other speaker had a mask on when playing music compared to the Volti Razz…the midrange in the Razz was crazy good, detailed not bright or harsh in anyway,….

Like a clear window into the music.  Great that you got to hear the differences for yourself vs Klipsch

very musical and took me to a place that consumed me emotionally

Fantastic - finding gear that subjectively resonates with you is the holy grail.  Volti gives a clear window of upline electronics.

Unlike the very limited selection of horn type speakers. Tannoy uses unique dual concentric driver design which will sound significantly different than Volti- best to demo if still interested.  To me, Fyne Audio (ex-Tannoy engineers) seems newer/better tech/sonics - the Fyne Audio F704SP sounded great at AXPONA 2025, Tannoy Sonics never resonated with me.
