Speakers for leading edge, transients, speed and big sound
You could pick up a beautiful Volti Rival in custom veneer of your choice brand spanking new within your budget. All the dynamics, speed, accuracy and room filling sound you can want. Plus you don’t need heroic amplifiers to do so as they are supe... 
How many times can u visit a hifi store before it annoys the store if u plan on a purchase
I agree with @jond  during my college years I worked at a family owned hifi store, for our town some really excellent gear, Conrad Johnson, Phillips, Cary, Mission/Cyrus, Tannoy, Paradigm, Ariston, EV, NHT, NAD, Proton etc.. we had a small group ... 
Best Holographic Speakers ~$7k per pair
Based upon what you listen to, your room and budget, I would strongly suggest Volti Razz. I’m absolutely smitten with mine. IMO for the money there’s nothing I heard when looking to buy 2 years ago that even came close to the power, dynamics, imag... 
Technics SL-1300G Turntable issues
Fellow 1300G owner here and I have the same complaint. It’s actually my only complaint. @dmorse6736  I understand what you are referring to regarding the bands, I don’t seem to have that issue. As an illustration if i were to have the platter rota... 
Picking speakers 3000-5000 budget
All excellent suggestions already, but here's my two bits.. If you like to listen at moderate to high volume, enjoy really excellent dynamics and listen to a variety of genre’s I would have you seriously consider Volti Razz. Looks and behaves som... 
AXPONA 2025
Great Show!!! Highlights for me... Greg Roberts of Volti brought the new Vittora. Just like his other creations I was simply awestruck. The tonality of the human voice is still giving me goosebumps. One day I will have them... oh yes I will.  T... 
Tube amp for Sourcepoint 8?
I'd suggest the Cary SLI 80HS and the Margules I-240. Plenty of tube power and sweetness.  I currently have the Cary paired with Volti Razz, such a great combo for my taste. I like that Cary changed the rectifier stage to SS, (apparently helps wi... 
A life sentence!!!
My Volti Razz   
$3500 floor standing speakers used. What would be your choice ?
@mulveling  +1 on the Tannoy suggestion. I don't own any currently. I worked in an audio shop in the 90's and 2000's that was a dealer. I loved the old Mercury's, always a no brainer for customers. The sixes series were great too, but their look w... 
Tampa Audio Expo 2025
I'm kicking myself for not attending this year, had a conflict that try as I did, was not able to worm my way out of.  I was curious to see if anyone listened to what Volti had to bring at this years show.   
Integrated amp with preamp tubes
For something a little different, check out Margules. I really enjoyed when I had an ACRH 3 hybrid. Tube input, SS output. Plenty of power and finesse, a very sweet and musical integrated.  They are now building an ACRH 4, bigger and better??  I... 
Technics 1300G on it's way !!
@noromance reportedly between the hours of 9am and 2pm. My confidence level isn’t high  
Technics 1300G on it's way !!
Thank you! Yes keeping the Hana definitely. My brother (a non audiophile) is getting g the MoFi with the original ultra tracker cartridge. Not that he gives two squirts of pi$&… free is his favorite number.  
I should start with speakers. This I know. I’d like to establish a new system.
Volti Razz paired with a Cary SLI 80HS here and could not be happier! The synergy between them is sublime, like they were designed to work together. I’ve heard Volti plenty of times with Border Patrol amps and the sound is quite beautiful. But for... 
Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers
+1 on the Volti Vittora. Super efficient, beautiful, musical... and I doubt that one could find a more dynamic, engaging and fun speaker regardless of price.
