Any normal size speakers that sound like Volti

I've had these early prototype Volti speakers I bought from Greg  8-10 years ago, but I  am set up in the living room with these large speakers . Family and friends always complain about the size, and I just ignore them.  Lately, my wife who agreed to the purchase has been grumbling about their size. 

I've been considering going to a more normal sized speaker, but want to keep most of Volti horn sound. I drag in my Joseph Audio RM25xl speakers and after a few days, I  drag the Volti's back in.

Using Atma-Sphere D amps and Mp3 preamp. Bricasti dac and Elrod cables. I stuck an old picture in systems so you get the idea of the scale. I will get new pictures later and finish system. 

I know it's unlikely, but maybe one of you can think of something.

They can't wander unless you move them

I talked to my wife about this discussion and she said we should investigate adding a room in the attic space. She will be calling a couple of contractors we have used in the past.

Tpreaves, I would have to listen to the Rival and Razz. I’m not sure if mine are better or worse than the smaller Volti speakers. The later Alura turned the horn vertical.

Soix, I actually have been looking at that Peal. There was a Rockport not more than 20 miles away from the Pearl and I have been thinking of a road trip to listen to them both.

If they sound 1/2 as good as they look you are a lucky man. Ignore everyone but your wife and find a way to win her over, and by all means keep them . Enjoy the music

They look great in your room. I say let your family complain, you only live once.

Tough to top good horns imo. Honestly a smaller speaker will take up the same space. You will not use the extra space for anything. I am sure she is taking up far more space with nick nacks and “junk” all over the house.

take your wife to demo some magnepans and big wilson’s, she will appreciate the “small” Voltis when you get home lol.
