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

It seems pretty confirmed that the CW's are great speakers if they are seriously modded. Thanks for the update about that. Some will see this as a great opportunity -- like buying a house with "good bones" and then making a dream house out of it. Others will see this as a deficiency in a $7k speaker. I suppose it comes down to what you're comparing it to. The value of the Voltis, then, seems to be that they are prêt-à-porter. 

I wonder how much time and parts the Cornwall IV need. They're price at $6,598.00 and Rivals are $8,900.00, a $2300 difference, or about one-third more expensive. 

Has anyone heard the Lucera yet?

Any remarks on the Lucera? If you guys already posted something I missed it.

I did get two listens to the Lucera at the Fla. show in Feb. I was struck by how even better the mids sounded than my Razz. Fuller and more weight, more presence in the soundstage. The highs were just as sweet as my Razz, but just a little better too. (new high end driver there, a better horn tweeter than the bullet style in the Razz)

Greg explained he did some crossover upgrading, picked a better tweeter, re-worked the mid horn and increased the woofer size. All made perfect sense to me and the results (ahem) spoke for themselves.

If i had the scratch right now, I would be on my way to pick up the pair he has advertised in red gum with the cream grill cloth!  Good lord I'm in love again.
