Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed?


Looking for efficient speakers. I had the opportunity to listen to a Cornwall IV yesterday. It was run on nice tubes (Primaluna 400 EL34s) with a bluesound node streamer/dac.

QUESTION: I'm curious if anyone has compared CW IV with Volti Rival of Razz. Thoughts?

QUESTION 2: Anyone know what changed in the Volti Razz when it moved from v. 2 to v. 3?

Thanks

I’ve been to the Volti/Border Patrol/Triode Labs Cable room over the years and got to know Greg (Volti), Paul (Triode), and my apologies the gentleman from BP’s name escapes me right now.

Anyways, as a CW IV owner who modified the cabinets and crossovers on each (and blown two pairs of Tweeters two years in a row (pre and post mods). I prefer the Volti’s both on sound & build quality.

But the price well worth it those who can afford & appreciate them MHO.

 

 

 

More good thoughts -- appreciated.

I think the setup was fine. Didn't use a SET amp but it was a decent match to what I have.

Volti Lucera -- I had forgotten about that option. Thank you!

I found the CW4 to be a little darker than the Forte 4. Lived with both. The CW4 plays a bit bigger and is more dynamic. The Forte seems a little more detailed and lifelike.

 

I've not heard the Volti. Probably a little better in all regards especially as you move up and pay the premiums. It's all worth it if you can go for it.

Just calm the CORN. IVs the with dynamo tape on the back of the horns and tweeters easy to do. You will love them no more harshness or brightness smooths them right out. There have been posts with references to this
