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 can’t speak to the quality of the cabinets themselves, but the veneer used on modern heritage speakers is very thin and prone to scratching and damage very easily. Many people have reported this as well.

Don't believe everything said here.The klipsch cabs are not made in China My IVs are 3 years old look and sound amazing.

That is on Volti's website. Are you saying that Mr. Roberts has an inaccurate statement on his website? That would be a serious accusation. But if you do a little research, you'll see that there are many people claiming this, some with proof. So, there's that, and Mr. Roberts seems like he actually knows what he's talking about.

The Klipsch Heritage series cabinets are made here, as are the pro and cinema lines. All of the others are made in China. At one point Klipsch used 3/4 Baltic Birch. To the individual who has the Belles, damp the horns and purchase an RSL 12s subwoofer. An awesome cohesive fit with the Klipsch dog houses. My best, MrD.

@mrdecibel either you or Volti are correct on this.

Volti website: "The Klipsch Forte cabinet is made in China of material that is just a step above the highest grade of cardboard.  In this industry, there is a range of quality in cabinet construction from lowest to highest, and when it comes to wooden speaker cabinets, the Klipsch Forte cabinet falls into the lowest end of that range.  I don’t think it is possible to build a cheaper cabinet and have it still function as a speaker cabinet."
