Klipsch Cornwall IV

Well, I wouldn't say they were crap caps, just run of the mill MKP.  I put the best caps I have ever heard in.  That said, caps, like speakers, are a personal choice and others may prefer a different cap over the ODAM.  They are a great speaker with the stock caps, but there are many better caps in the world than what is in there, and there one sand resistor is in a key spot and I am sure even a change to something like a Mills would be audible.  I have not heard the pathaudio ones, but many love them so I will use them.

No regret on the Volti, just would like to have heard CW 4 due to some good reviews. I’m happy! The pricing I’m seeing for new CW 4 is 6k. The Razz with prem finish (Lightning) were 6k as well.

Difference is you cant get a discount (Most likely) on the RAZZ.  You should be able to get at least 20% off any Klipsch speaker from your dealer...if not shop elsewhere.

I would love the hear the Volti Rival....  I bet it is really good.  Plus, swapping the resistors or the one exposed coupling cap is trivial.  The Cornwall IV, when fully tweaked is pretty good though:) 

Don’t know where you are but, to hear Voltis you have to go to 1 hour east of Nashville. That’s where they are and there are no dealers. He calls his business a speaker boutique and builds every one by hand using 1” solid maple including the bracing. I was impressed with the quality.
