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

people say they are more refined I dont know what that means

I think your listening descriptions show that you DO know what it means.

You said: 

it’s definitely all in the midrange….just a tad not bright but just a little more that I don’t get with the Forte IVs

I just cranked the song Black Day by Monolink a very dynamic song, cracked it way up and was clean and I just let it go…the Fortes didn’t sound good way up there to my ears…..

You're hearing exactly what you're describing. The upper mids and highs are NOT making you cringe and you're NOT getting fatigued. Extra volume is equating to extra fun, not "turn it down." 

That's, at least, a partial definition of "refined," as I understand it.

Good job!
