Volti does it again!


For anyone at the Florida Audio Expo I hope you took the time to check in on what Greg of Volti audio brought. A new model, right between the Razz and Rival. It’s called Lucera and it sounds sublime! Everything I love about my Razz but better in all ways. I am literally sitting in my hotel room trying to negotiate with my better half on how to order a pair. 
PS, everything I’ve read about visiting the “Three Amigos” at the show is correct. Volti, Border Patrol, and Triode labs make a heavenly combination. I can’t wait to go back and listen again tomorrow.

Greg wanted me to point out that the link to his website with the new model is not a completed page and it is still under construction (and they do not cost $7,500).

When I look at these speakers, I see Klipsch redux.

I’m not trying to be critical.

If anyone can explain how or why these are made differently or sound different from speakers in the Klipsch line, I’m all ears.

Because used Klipsch speakers are pretty easy to find used and are likely less expensive

Different drivers = Different sound.

Looks like a Faital woofer, BMS mid, etc on Volti...10,000 bucks? No thanks (nothing special or innovative). Some great sounding stuff can be diy’d for way less.

 

 

Hi Ya'll, this is Greg from Volti Audio.

Here's a few tidbits of response to all the comments here.  I'm sure this will ruffle a few feathers.  I'm not trying to do that.  I get to have my say just like anyone else on an open forum.  

Sorry about the Lucera webpage being incomplete.  I do all my own website work and I've been too busy as of late to finish it up.  I'll get to it soon.  I published it without having any links to it, so I didn't think anyone would see it.  But I forgot that a search engine would pick it up!  oops.  

Regarding the drivers used in Volti speakers.  I don’t ever reveal what I use for drivers in my speakers because there’s no benefit to me in doing so.  If you need to know what drivers I use, you are not my customer.  I know this from experience.  I’ve never had one customer who cared to know what drivers were used in their speakers.   My customers care about how their speakers sound. 

I would not consistently, year after year, get rave reviews on my speakers if I used cheap drivers. 

I buy, test, and listen to drivers all the time, and I pick out the gems to use in my speakers – the drivers that give me the sound I’m listening for.  It is not uncommon for me to make a small modification or two to a driver used in my speakers.  

The mid driver used in the Razz is not as nice sounding to me as the one I use in the Rival.  I like the one in the Rival much better and it costs me five times as much to buy as the one in the Razz. 

It is my guess that Klipsch is able to buy 50 Forte midrange drivers made in China for the same amount of money I spend on one midrange driver for the Razz. 

Volti speakers sound better than Klipsch because the cabinets are built much better, the components used are of much higher quality, and because they are designed and voiced by Greg Roberts.   I don't find it difficult to build higher quality speakers than Klipsch, it's just more expensive to do.
