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..

I would definitely take Jon’s advice, he has never given me bad advice, the Sit-5 wasn’t available when I bought the Sit-4…if Nelson designed it you will have not problems….I would go for it…get it done and you will be good to go forever..

I’m going to give it a few days. I’m going away for a 3 day weekend next week so if I’m going to place an order, I’d wait til Thursday anyway. That way I will be home when it or they arrive. A little more homework. 
I’m going to call First Watt on Monday and see what they think would be the best coarse of action with my pre, dac and speakers. 

I love my whole set up every piece. Pass Labs XP-12 preamp, First Watt Sit-4, the streamer is very special the Magna HiFi Mano Ultra MkIII with a separate Farad power supply. You can change the software at anytime through a hole on the bottom of the streamer with a mini usb, I am using Ropieee XL  software, the streamer comes from the Netherlands, it was the final piece of the puzzle when it come to the gear and has I2S that goes into my Denafrips Venus dac. Then the Lucera arrived, everything is firing on all cylinders….one piece leaves everything will fall apart..

Great to hear. Streamer upgrade will be next for sure. Will start thinking about that in the new year. Wonderful set up. Love hearing an audio veteran who loves a new set up. Congratulations. Enjoy the music!
