Has anyone heard the Lucera yet?
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 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. |
Thanks @doyle3433 I’m not speaker shopping at the moment, but I’m keeping them on the short list to audition when possible. Greg is only a little over six hours away and it gives me a good reason to visit Nashville again. |
