Volti Audio makes some critically and user acclaimed HE speakers. Not cheap but more refined sounding than the Klipsh Heritage. Cabinet construction and bracing are top notch leading to outstanding freedom from coloration.Certainly a worthy goal would be to find a viable alternative to the Klipsch Heritage speakers at a similar or lower price point that measures better while satisfying the audio preferences of those who love that sound. Beyond measurements though it may require a blind test to convince those who know the best sounding speaker when they see it.

The Volti Vittora is one of the worst sounding and most incompetently designed speakers I have ever heard.
these oldtimers should get in DSP asapThe Volti Vittora is one of the worst sounding and most incompetently designed speakers I have ever heard.
Rival doesn't look too bad as a tube amp load, or as a headphone. Maybe good for a SET amp in extreme radical nearfield touching ears. Might only work this way without the constraint of gravity.The Volti Vittora is one of the worst sounding and most incompetently designed speakers I have ever heard.
Yikes! Hard to get much worse than that . That arguably looks even worse than the bose acoustimass speakers.
Never understood the appeal, or really the point, of these speakers.
The thing is, no one looking for an idealized Klippelized two way powered monkey coffin that they can set on their desk is going to want anything made by Klipsch. No one. If the 'Harman curve' is what one is looking for, why would one even bother with these, or others like them?For more lively comments I would suggest K-horn or LaScala over Cornwall.
FWIW. I have a pair of Heresy’s 1st generation, plywood cabinets in black paint. They’re in my garage on a high shelf upside down, woofer near ceiling.
They rock when all garage doors are open and I’m washing my car. They coast me $300 and are worth every penny. Garage is 11 x 7 meters and they fill the space without strain.
If you can find an old pair they can have their place vs bluetooth coffee can speakers.
Brings back memories. A neighbor replaced his Stromberg Carlson integrated amp with some solid state stuff, and gave me the old tube unit. I didn't have any stereo speakers, or speakers at all, but decided to improvise. It was my first 'audio' project. 1967 or '68.If you can find an old pair they can have their place vs bluetooth coffee can speakers.
they sure do look bad. i heard the rival at an audio show and was most impressed though. the razz does have excellent enclosure resonance control.

Like, do you have to sign a pledge or something when you purchase a pair?I'm sure this dealer has the oposite sensibilities of most members here, but at 6:22 he claims they are required to have a setup with tubes and a turntable. And that's how I do most of my listening to my previous Heresy III's and current Forte III's.
