You need to find out if cupped hands coloration effects you - I hear it on many horns like Volti.
Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood?
We’re moving and I’m looking for a high-efficiency, high impedance speaker that can fill a very large “great room” with smooth, open, detailed sound, both for serious listening and casual background music. I currently have Devore Super 9s, but those will be going in a separate dedicated listening room. I thought about getting another pair of Devores (maybe the O/93) for the great room because I love this brand, but I’m interested in other possibilities The new speakers will be on either side of a 6-foot TV console, so they’ll need to sound good fairly close to the wall behind them. And they will need to have a reasonably good WAF. They will be played mainly at low-moderate sound levels and our tastes include rock, classical, world music and “spa” type relaxation stuff.
Anyone who is familiar with any of the following candidates, please feel free to sound off. As you can see, price ranges are all over the place:
Zu Soul Supreme
Tekton Lore
Volti Razz
Klipsch Forte IV
Fleetwood Deville
Others?

I heard it less on Volti than on many other horns I've heard. I prefer dynamic speakers. I intend to audition the Botticelli planars. L.A. audio show was cancelled so again, I cannot hear some of the speakers I wanted to hear most unless I go to a showroom or manufacturer (Von Schweikert), 140 and 90 miles away. I'm at the northwest San Fernando Valley. Evolution Acoustics are even further (Portland). |
@fleschler Im in the valley as well |
