Not Enough Options for Auditioning Speakers
@asvjerry ,I have never had a show exhibitor refuse to play a CD I have asked them to play, unless they can't because they do not have the facility to play one. You are correct if they can and won't. Walk. 
Has anyone ever heard these speakers by Volti Audio?
I would love to hear the Simon Mears Uccello speaker (10,500 UK Sterling) which similar(ish) to the Vittoria.@david_ten please keep us informed of your hearings.....
