Any remarks on the Lucera? If you guys already posted something I missed it.

I did get two listens to the Lucera at the Fla. show in Feb. I was struck by how even better the mids sounded than my Razz. Fuller and more weight, more presence in the soundstage. The highs were just as sweet as my Razz, but just a little better too. (new high end driver there, a better horn tweeter than the bullet style in the Razz)

Greg explained he did some crossover upgrading, picked a better tweeter, re-worked the mid horn and increased the woofer size. All made perfect sense to me and the results (ahem) spoke for themselves.

If i had the scratch right now, I would be on my way to pick up the pair he has advertised in red gum with the cream grill cloth!  Good lord I'm in love again. 

Thanks @doyle3433 

I’m not speaker shopping at the moment, but I’m keeping them on the short list to audition when possible. Greg is only a little over six hours away and it gives me a good reason to visit Nashville again.

Maybe not apples to apples, but when I discovered Volti offering Klipsch upgrades here, it seems Volti drivers are better than Klipsch. I get the feeling that Greg looked at Klipsch speakers as a reference then made better sonic products reflected in the many very positive reviews.

Some of you may recall that Greg got his start years ago offering first cosmetic upgrades to Klipschorns on ebay, and then horn and driver upgrades, then finally starting his own company and producing his own speakers. He was definitely inspired by Klipsch.
