I've never been that impressed by Nola, but their smaller Micro Grand "Gold" model they showed was the highlight for me. Extremely clear, dynamic, and engaging...and driven by a nice VAC 160i integrated. It stood apart,sounded real, but at $33,000 it seemed to be an example of the high-end death wish, or targeting those with too much money.

It wasn't smart to schedule the show on a major Jewish holiday. I couldn't even get a couch delivered.

Jetrexpro,
You were quite impressed with the Raven 300b push pull amplifier driving the Volti speakers. Art Dudley (Stereophile) was very impressed with this amplifier driving Devore Orangutan O/96 speakers and wrote a flattering review. Almost predictably(with amps Dudley rates highly via his ears) John Atkinson found that it measured poorly. Once again proving there's no substitute for listing to a component.

Correction: The speaker on display was the NOLA Metro Grand Reference Gold, not the micro. They'll certainly make you rethink bass drivers.

Charles, with a sound like that, how the amp measured was the last thing on my mind. So fast and dynamic, effortless. I started to visualize owning this system and the room I would build for listening. I hope to hear them some time with Border Patrol.

Jet,
I suspect that your current SETamplifier would be a very fine match with the high efficiency Volti. I'd love to hear this speaker myself one day.
Charles,
