It’s almost impossible for me to be impartial or objective when I visit The Three Amigos room at a high-end audio show. I’ve been consistently blown away by the sound that Greg Roberts (Volti Audio), […]
Disclaimer: I have not traditionally been a fan of horn speakers such as the Volti Audio Razz LE. Why then did I decide to accept an invitation from Greg Roberts, head man at Volti Audio, […]
