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

One of the great advantage of high efficiency speakers is their ability to sound alive and exciting at quite low volume levels.  That is part of the reason why they work so well with SET amps.  I personally would feel comfortable with using a 2 watt amp with a 100 db/w speaker, but, I don’t listen at high levels.  If you do, be aware that a 2a3 or 45 SET might not be up to the task.
