Tannoy or Volti


I have a friend who has the Tannoy Prestige GRF 90 for sale he is moving out of the country for half price, he paid $29000 in around 2020 not made in China. I am upgrading my Forte IVs, I am also considering the Volti audio Lucera…anyone that has heard the Tannoy and any other suggestions which will be better would be appreciated….I have a few first watt amps and several tube amps…plus Jeff Rowland and Pass Labs amps..

@earthbound i have the XA-25 also, it sounds really good but the Sit-4 takes it to the place  you want to be. I use the  XA-25 in the front mains of my home theater. For the final solid state with these speakers it’s the Sit-4, my old ears give me the measurements I need..plus the resistors you have on the back for adjustments is all I need..

I use the  XP-12 Pass Labs preamp

@earthbound The Sit-4 has a output impedance of 4 ohms a little hot, most amps are less then 1, not all speakers sound good, they sound floppy or something…Greg voices the speakers with his Cary tube amp, the Lucera loves the Sit-4. 
‘If Jon at Refined audio can get one he probably will give you an audition period if you ask. 

Thanks Charles. I will certainly give him a call. Power and bass authority are my goals with this ss purchase. I’m assuming the xa-25 would be better. I should know better than to assume in audio. Certainly considering my Lucera purchase! lol

I am sitting here listening to the Lucera and melting back in my chair…basically floating…

Jon is a great dealer I have bought the XP-12, XA-25 and Sit-4 from him…smooth sailing every time
