Volti Razz Loudspeakers


Volti Audio recently introduced a new model horn speaker called the Razz. I purchased a pair from Greg Roberts, the owner of Volti Audio to replace a pair of Klipsch Heresy IIIs. Let me just say, these speakers are spectacular. Not only do they blow away the Heresy's, I also believe they would be a better choice than the new Klipsch Cornwall IV at around the same price. No disrespect to the Klipsch models, the Volti speakers are beautifully hand made and are built by a true craftsman. Check them out if you're in the market for a pair of Klipsch speakers or any other horn speaker. I am not in any way affiliated with Volti Audio, just a satisfied customer.

Whether the Razz is better than the CW IV, which is questionable, I do agree, that Greg Roberts is a master. So was PWK, whose original Heritage designs were adapted by Greg ( the Lascala, in particular ). What I will say, is that once a person lives with a properly designed horn speaker, it might be hard to go back to a conventional design, as there are attributes to horns, that cannot be duplicated elsewhere. If these attributes are appreciated by the listener, again, there is no going back. Be well, all, and enjoy !
How is the bass?  I had the chance to hear the Rivals at a show once and liked them, but couldn't totally get after them.   Liked what I heard though (had them play some Tom Petty).  But I do like my bass to "thump" a bit, and it's so hard for a super efficient speaker to do both without a sub.  

Just wondering how you feel the bass is?

His stuff is way cool.
I haven’t heard the Cornwall IVs. I was probably going to buy them before I found out that Volti had come out with the Razz. I believe I made the right choice with the Volti’s over the Klipsch, however. I think that Greg Roberts takes what is great about the Klipsch Heritage line and brings it to the next level. Just my opinion of course.
As far as the bass of the Razz’s, mine are in a fairly small room, but I find the bass to be deep and not at all boom-y.
Glad to see a more affordable model from Volti.  Seems well received so far. 
I haven’t heard the Cornwall IVs.
If you haven't heard the CW IV, what leads you to believe the Razz is the superior speaker?

This is no way a slam against Greg. I have spoken with him a few times and bought his Khorn crossovers. I think he is awesome.
