Tannoy or Volti

Thank you for the point of view and experience, so far I am loving the Volti after yesterday. Thanks to Chuck for inviting me into his house to listen to the Razz, in a nice quiet space. 

I’d go with the JBL 4367s over either Volti or Tannoy any day. 

Those in the know will tell you that vintage Tannoys actually perform better than their modern counterparts, so there’s that. 

Hey Charles. I’ve started a thread as well and am interested in the Volti as well. I’m currently in the process of changing my system and I go from selling everything to just replacing some things. So I’m currently a mental case. Full disclosure! I don’t mean to hijack and will shut up if asked with no issues. I’m the owner of Audio Note e/lx and am debating the Volti horns. There is a lot to like about the AN’s, mainly realism and NO EAR Fatigue. This is my concern with horns. You seem to have experience with different speakers. Is there anything with the horns that you recently listened to that should I should be concerned about? Thanks for any advice

@helomech How would my amps do with the JBLs?..Alan Eaton monos, Pass Labs XA-25 First Watt Sit-3 and the Jeff Rowland 125…I need to find someway to listen to those..tell me why you like them more…

I like the JBLs because they produce a more linear sound without any obnoxious peaks. And they don’t really suffer from horn coloration the way Voltis, and to lesser extent, the Tannoys do. 

Your amps would have no trouble driving the JBLs to high levels. 

Caveat here is that everyone has different ears and preferences. I would try to audition the JBLs somewhere beforehand or buy them used. Some listeners prefer the sort of exaggerated dynamics that a non-linear speaker like the Voltis produce. I get some of the same phenomenon from my Borresens. They are not very linear but that’s what makes them sound so nimble and dynamic. The JBLs produce less of that but are a technically better speaker.
