Glad you are having such a great experience with your Razz! I'm 2 months in with my Rivals and feel the same - system has never sounded better. In fact, it sounds better than most of what I heard at the Tampa hifi show (not inlcuding most of the super high $ systems though on the first floor). That said, I realize they had room limitations to work with - but still - I have permagrin every time I put the needle down and take a seat. My wife will be out for a few hours on Sat and can't wait as that is when I can turn the volume up.
Volti Experience !
Good morning everyone, I hope this finds you well.
I wanted to post on my experience taking delivery of my new Volti Razz. Ordered them in walnut with the premium black textured cloth. I was not expecting such an awesome experience picking them up. I arranged with Greg of Volti to come down to his shop and receive my speakers instead of have them shipped. Yes it saved me a few clams, however on retrospect, I think my true motivation was the 8 hour drive through beautiful OH, KY and TN, as well as meeting the creator/master builder and seeing his impressive workshop. What I got was that and so much more. Greg and his wife were incredible, they were amazingly generous hosts, engaging, fun, and clearly a devoted couple. Great Mexican food was followed by an extended listening session well into the night. I got a chance to listen to the Razz as well as some not yet released gear. And let me tell you, it blew my socks off... All of it!!!. There is surely a Volti House Sound. regardless of what speaker we were listening to, it's there. Greg is equal parts mad inventor, super cool guy, music lover and car nut. I think the man's mind is constantly engaged.. thinking, planning and working on speaker design. (when he's not blasting down epic county roads in his convertible).
If you are in the market, run, don't amble towards any of the Volti speakers. And if you are fortunate you will come home with not only world beating speakers to cherish for the rest of your life, you may also have a lifelong memory of the experience.
I have literally had mine set up in house for only two days. What money and time I have invested simply doesn't matter. I have found my HFI, musical nirvana.

@laynes I completely get you!. Even though the Volti's sound super sweet at lower volumes, they practically beg to be turned up. I've never had anything in my home that comes close to a "being there" experience. I get the same thrills I get when I see a band live, small scale or large. |
Volti upgrades to Klipschorn. This response may be too late for your consideration. I have 1982 khorns which i upgraded to the full Volti Audio upgrade package. I will not even consider going back because the result was just spectacular. I realize this modification is considered heresy, I simply will not go back. I am using a McIntosh c2500 tube preamp with tube power amps ranging from 5 wpc to 35 wpc. The cost was $8800 including the original speaker cost and the upgrade package.
