Tannoy or Volti

I can't speak for the Tannoy but certainly can for the Volti.  I see @charles007100  visited a local Volti owner and had a great experience,  I am driving my Volti Razz with a First Watt F8 and have the Modwright LS99. tube preamp as part of the lineup.  The pairing is superb.  Do yourself a favor and contact Greg.  He is engaging to talk with and a craftsman.  I have also done the Pilgrimage to Baxter and spent a night on the shop floor camp cot - very comfortable.  I listened to my Razz in Gregg's living room and we boxed them up and I left the next morning after an espresso with Gregg.  Learned quite a bit as to speaker building and quality.

what is it 500 to 600 for a ticket and it sounds like Greg the owner is super cool with auditions…

I would definitely hold on to the Aric gear and find the right speakers, wasn’t he designing speakers for his gear…seems I read that on his FB page a while ago..

Or hop on the motorcycle and make a trip of it! He has been very accommodating and helpful. It makes me want to go that direction potentially when you are dealing with someone like that. I got that same help from Aric. Made in the US, great customer service and genuinely nice people. 
My issue becomes, Louisiana is my last state to visit and it’s so close to Tennessee! How do I not extend the ride even more. Good problems to have. 

OP

Looks like you found the speaker you are going to enjoy, the Volti Razz. i have not heard a Volti, but its reviews are very good. 

if it were me, i would see if i can get to audition a Fyne, just to cover my bases. I know it quite difficult to listen to all speakers, but if you happen to find what you wanted, then stick to it. I used every opportunity to listen to gears in audio shows. So, i can determine what i want. it's not the end all, but to benchmark what I wanted. Hopefully the Volti is your end game. Then build the corresponding amp combination around it

The larger Tannoy speakers have sounded pleasant enough when at their best- ability to play big, loud, smooth and midbass exaggerated.  What has been missing for me is that important bit of clarity and transparency that gives them an overly polite sound.  I did also hear an occasional ringing in the upper midrange frequencies with certain models.  Lastly the bass was never as well defined as I would have liked.  

The Fyne Vintage series are still super smooth and easy on the ears but the clarity was the first thing that hit me about them.  It gives them a more live, life like sound.  Personally I am not a fan of that vintage furniture look in a speaker but I instantly put that aside when I heard the Fynes.  Possibly the best sounding speaker of its type that I have heard except for the new greek symbol speakers (phi?) that I heard.  Those are amazing but super expensive.
