Hello all,
Short version, reaching out to the Volti Audio owners here. Is the fire still there for your Volti speakers? Do you still love them today as much as when they first hit the house? I know Greg loves long wall speaker placement with relatively nearfield listening position. Anyone doing more a short wall setup, especially with the speakers pulled into the room? If the fire isn't still there where did you move to and why?
I am Florida based an plan to visit Volti in February at the Florida Audio Expo but it is always hard to fully assess them fully it that type of an environment for a limited listening time.
Long version, long time listener, first time caller. I've done the searches and read the forum for as much detail about Volti owners experience. I have that itch again to change speakers and I am strongly considering scratching that itch with some Volti's. I have only heard the Vittoras greater than 10 years ago at RMAF, so prior to Rivals and certainly the Razz. Since that time I have used 2 different "high efficiency" speakers. No need to name names (not looking to rehash previous discussions about brand X vs brand Y), but one was a rear horn loaded lowther based speaker and the other a traditionally designed 2 way. They both sound great, with with certain types of music are truely magical however neither one seems to "rock out" or have that "fun" factor that Volti is known for (yes, I want it all).
Front end is based on a TW Acustic TT with 2 arms and multiple cartridges
Border Patrol DAC
Pass XP25 phono stage
Pass XP22 preamp
Don't have much interest in changing those.
Current amp is a Pass XA30.8 which would be subject to change if I pull the trigger on the Volti with obvious choices being something tube based (can't pull off any of the Border Patrol amps right now) or if SS moving to the Pass XA25 which reportedly plays nicely with the Volti.
Appreciate your thoughts and input.
