Volti does it again!

Trolling?  Seriously?? It's completely ridiculous to expect a speaker manufacturer like Greg to offer a return policy.  Every pair of speakers is custom-made to order.  Special and custom orders are rarely returnable for anything boutique or bespoke.

There are so many audio manufacturers in the world that it's impossible to hear them all, have you noticed?  Pick one you have heard.  If you get intrigued by something, not in your area, make an effort rather than being lazy and thinking "If I don't like it, I'll return it."  The problem is the folks who do return things, tend to do it over and over.  So by having a policy that doesn't allow it, Greg probably avoids a load of high-maintenance (even for this crowd) folks looking for a home demo.  I'm a big fan of home demos but also realize when it's impossible or impracticable.

@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.
