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..

P.S. Regarding Klipsch Forte-4

For a good speaker cable connection (to binding post), use ONLY banana plugs. Spades can be used but anything more than "finger tight" will cause the inner nut to go loose. I think this is why I open the binding post plate in the first place, 

@charles007100 My Luceras are the only Volti's I've heard in person. It is my understanding that each model up the scale sounds a bit more awesome than the one below it. Good thing I've never heard the Rivals, I can't afford 'em, lol.

I've always been a Klipsch fan. But the Volti's have superior construction and components. 1" birch ply vs 3/4" MDF for example. The metal horns are damped. Custom veneer...they're end-game speakers. 

Not 100% sold on Volti might be to close to the Klipsch sound I am trying to get away from…

From your demo, you’ve discovered they sound different.  Likewise, the Devore O/96 will sound different than your AN-E.  Best to demo yourself.

@charles007100 - are you also considering non-horn efficient speakers?  If so, maybe consider Coherent Audio or Charney.
