Volti does it again!

@tonnesen If no one bites here, reach out to Greg when he gets back from Florida and see if he's willing to connect you with anyone who owns Rivals in Denver/Boulder.

The speakers I demoed at someone's house years ago were Merlin VSM MXs.  After I heard them and decided I wanted them, Merlin owner Bobby Palkovic (RIP) set me up locally to hear his speakers with a couple of different amps, including a trip to David Berning's house to hear his amps! 

Good luck!

And...if he can't/won't/doesn't...just remember that many manufacturers are increasingly reluctant to put people together unless they really know both parties pretty well...and it's hard not to blame them in this time of increased "tension" between people.

Instead, invest in a road trip to Nashville and then on to Volti...not that far away and its beautiful country!

Your best bet is attending an audio show.  Volti makes appearances at a lot of shows.  There are many other good brands that also attend shows so some kind of rough comparison can be made.

Yeah: trolling badgerman. Because some DO DO IT and some don’t. Greg doesn’t want to. And as I said: it’s cool either way. But you’re insisting that it’s not reasonable to ask for such a policy. Which does exist. Thus, troll-ing.

If any Volti user has access to a quad of AHB2, I highly encourage one to try to do a biamp quad monobloc setup pushing them. Of course up front you need world class preamp and dac. I was about to get a volti, but changed my mind and got a JBL 4367 (2 ways). Tested a single AHB2 just for fun, ended up as permanent 4x AHB2.

The air, the realism, is insane when playing any live recording. I spoke with someone who owns a TAD R1 or CR1, using the same setup.
