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

hilde45 - I am also interested to know where the Forte cabinets are made.  It seems strange that nobody here can confirm or refute Volti's claim conclusively.  I've been looking around the web and can't find a definitive answer as to where Forte cabinets are built.

I’d be interested in solid fact. I am inclined to believe that Volti’s facts are correct, if only because claiming it on a public facing website -- in a post clearly advantaging his own, competing product -- would be a huge negative if it proved false. I also imagine that after upgrading Klipsch for so many years, he knows the provenance of the parts. It would improve the Volti website to link to the proof or cite it, I think. The adjectives describing the cheapness of construction seem a bit questionable. One could communicate their inferiority with a gentler touch. But that’s just my opinion.

If I could post a photo, there is a label on the back of the Forte IV that says the cabinets are made by craftsman in Hope Arkansas. 

@bjesien As you attached photos of your room/equipment (very nice btw) here, you can post it on your systems page, and when everyone is satisfied with the truth, you can always delete it. That would be a great end to this. TY in advance. MrD.
