Zim.

A couple years ago I sent an inquiry to Bob Crites on the availability of replacement screens after I slightly mangled a screen from a corroded k55v. At the time he thought they were pretty much unobtainium. One may want to factor this in during the removal risk assessment.

Nope, just used the only thing I fully trust!

I've removed the screens a few times and feel as though I can hear a noticeable difference. Some screens come out much easier than others; the radius is easily deformed. They can be straightened and they press easily back into place. Pull one screen off, play your system in mono and compare the modified driver to the stock driver. It may just prove to be worthwhile!

The Bryston ST series is very satisfying on the big (K402/K510) horns. They more than bridge the gap between pro and home audio. QSC PLX is a slight tier below on the HF. If one considers McIntosh as pro gear, the 2120 is a great amp on the LaScala. I would take a Crown K1 over a K2 any day unless one needs the horsepower. The Crown PS (200/400) series is a real sleeper. About the only Crown I would consider using above 500hz..

JC, talk of the oppo 105 as a preamp/volume control sometimes centers around bit stripping (when used <~75%) in the digital domain. Have you found these claims relevant in your use?

The OP asked for user feedback from those with direct experience with Volti's products; which was given; period I am very aware of the development of several of Volti's products, at least as what was posted on the forum 10-12 years ago or so, along with a few phone conversations with a couple of Greg's "resources". Does ones business ethics/personal morals affect the performance of their products?

There are several Klipsch (or klipsch-based) systems in the house that I believe most would say sound better than stock Klipschorns in my rooms. Most revolve around the K510 and/or K402 horn. For the sake of brevity, and to stay on topic, I'll confine my ramblings to the Klipschorn with passive networks. For several years I had three Klipschorn systems in the house. Scooted back and forth several times amongst the three rooms. Stock component '04 Mahogany Khorns with enclosed backs, a '67 Walnut in a mono system, and a pair of '68s in Walnut, which were my experimental pair. With the K400 '68s I played with multiple crossovers (SuperX, ALK) as well as the A and AA with perhaps a half dozen capacitor (Jupiter flat stacks, Jensen PIO, etc.) changes. The K400 came out and Martinelli horns went in with solder lug K-55s and then A-55G drivers. Back to the K400s for a few weeks. Then Eliptrac 400 horns with Faital HF200 drivers went in. A similar approach was taken with tweeters with the JBL2404, Beyma CP-25, and Eliptrac HF moved in and out . A significant number of amps, preamps, cd players/dacs were shuffled in and out during this time but always an apples to apples comparison was used to evaluate simple changes to the systems. None of my rooms are very good Khorn rooms. To alleviate the room shortcomings several arrays of absorption and diffusion were tried to maximize the experience. I have listened to khorns (K400) in one exceptional room and another system in an extraordinary khorn room. What a difference it makes! What took me some time to prove to myself was that I can't trick a poor room with treatments to the level of a room with great fundamental dimensions. I've owned a pair of Volti Khorns in Koa for a few years now, usually running with a LaScala (same veneer) as a derived center. There isn't much Klipsch left of the Khorns outside of the plywood construction. The tophats have the first two production V-Trac (FC-260/BMS 4592) horns Greg made along with Beyma CP-25 tweeters and VTK-400 networks. I can say with certainty that my ears have never heard Khorn's (K400 squawker) with any combination of variables (networks, source components, etc.) sound as good, or connect me with the music any closer, in my rooms, as well as what the Volti Khorns have. I can put many combinations of the Martinelli horns and Eliptrac horns in the same tier as the V-Trac. This is not a case of the 'this is what I own so its the best' nonsense that plagues many discussions on comparisons but my feelings some time after most of these systems have found new owners.

KPT-942-M.....sounds damn fine too.

Only a real jackass tweets...takes a special kind of jackass to pay attention

Klipsch makes Cornscalas?

Thank you EmilC for a very fine transaction. Nice work Dean.

I've owned the Audio Mirror 6AS7 20W SET amps for a couple short months now and have more recently added their linestage to the chain. Both have factory upgrades. Primary source is an Arcam CD192. This frontend is driving Volti Khorns in my 3 channel system ( LaScala derived center). Simply put, they sound like what tubes are supposed to sound like. A.M. is very fine gear and I would certainly encourage one to give them a listen in their system. Should it be needed, Vlad's customer service has proven top flight.
