Speaker Suggestions for Next Move

I'm on board with the Volti recommendations also heard the Rivals a few times and really love them. I've not heard the new Lucera which I'm sure is fantastic. I also think staying with horns is a good idea as you may miss that live quality horns give you.

That said Fyne, Spendor Classic, and Devore are all fine choices I'd be hard pressed to choose between them though the Classic 100 or older versions in the 100 series are definite favorites.

I'd stick with horns or open baffle speakers, I went from open baffle to box speakers, never could quite deal with the box speaker presentation. After that went to Klipschorns, I've modded them extensively, only bass bin remains stock. Klipsch Heritage can image and sound stage with tractrix horns, in case of three ways, tweeter on custom baffle, need at least physical time alignment and independent movement of mid driver and tweeter in case of Klipschorn.

Of speakers you mentioned I'd go with the Volti's, I'm using Volti tractrix horns on my Klipschorns. Greg's modded Klipschorn crossovers were inspiration for my crossover mods.  You were onto something with your modded Cornwalls, the Volti's can take you the rest of the way.

@jbhiller I have a pair of Razz. Entry level into the Volti line. I am completely over the moon with them, every time if fire them up I just feel so completely satisfied and happy with them. I picked my pair up directly from Greg at his shop. I had the opportunity to listen to my Razz next to a pair of rivals and a pair of new Vittora in prototype. They all shared an amazing dynamic character, there’s definitely a house sound there. The Rivals are much bigger, sound much bigger, and go lower. But that sweet coherent midrange was so much there across all three models.

i did listen to the Lucera at the Fla expo this year and I was seriously trying to figure out how to work out a deal with Greg right then and there to trade up!

The razz depending on finish and grill cloth will go for about $7500, the Lucera about $10,000, and the Rivals about $16,000. 
 

check out the Volti site, Greg’s got it all well explained along with pricing and what he has on hand for sale. Plus he’s a really good guy to deal with. He really wants to make sure his customers are completely satisfied.

Revival Audio and then you can end your search.

Thank you all for the recommendations.  Yes, Volti does seem like a great fit. Man, I heard the Rivals (I think) at the 2019 AXPONA and said to myself that they sounded better to me than so many rooms. I was actually comparing them to $35k Steinheims (not that I was buying those)--they sounded that good. 

Maybe I need a trip to see Greg. 

@SNS, Yes, I did my modifications at the very same time Don Sachs did his. We conversed over email.  I loved the CWIVs but felt building to a price point constrained them.  I'm not sure going back to do the inductors would make much difference--I skipped those. 

I will say this. I have friends who have very modern speakers (Revel Salon 2s, Magico, B&W, etc.). When they hear the modified CWIVs (with excellent electronics and sources), they are amazed at how big and dynamic the sounds is.  I've pretty much tamed any brightness. While I don't mind that they are the best imaging speaker, I would like a bit more cohesion out of them. 

I'll keep researching and planning. Keep the posts coming.
