Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed?

I never felt the Forte model was in the class of the other Heritage models. In fact, it took years since it’s introduction for Klipsch to proclaim the Forte model as a "Heritage". I always added internal bracing to the cabinets (as well as my damping procedures), and mostly, elevated them on cinderblocks with material between the Forte and the blocks. A much better presentation. Keep them far from the rear wall, whenever possible. These were for clients of mine who had them. Me, I started with CW verticals, CW horizontals (standard), Lascala, Khorn, and now back to Lascala. I love the Lascala design. I love my system.

I have the Forte on a second system with a Leben 300xs and enjoy the combination. They're not lifelong speakers but like everything else I've ever owned, will add to my enjoyment of hearing new things. The Cornwalls had a bit more effortlessness and the Forte's IMO have a little more detail without being too bright. I found the CW4 a little more relaxed for my tastes. I played the CW4 with an Audionote Cobra, McIntosh C28 and MC2125, and my favorite, the Coda CSIB with 18 wpc A. 

There are many great horn speakers. Cessaro is the best i've heard and come to know a bit. 

@silverfoxvtx1800 congrats on the Razz! They will be amazing. I'd listen to that playlist for a few days prior and just change them out. You will get a good idea right out of the box. Play them harder when you can for a couple hundred hours and you will notice changes.

Have fun! Report back.

Rule of thumb.

One pair of speakers in the room at a time.

btw hilde45, I like your room. Horns will sing and spread their wings in there!
