I’m often asked about my speakers and room size.\u00a0 I have heard my Rival speakers in a 8′ x 10′ room.\u00a0 I delivered them to my customer and we took out the speakers he had in there and replaced them with the Rivals and a new amplifier.\u00a0 In his seating position, you could lean forward and almost touch the front of each speaker.\u00a0 The system sounded wonderful.\u00a0 About a month after installation, he emailed to say the he thought the midrange was a bit too forward.\u00a0 I agreed with him, since he was sitting right on top of two powerful midrange horns.\u00a0 He turned them down 1db and was very pleased with the new balance.\u00a0 Big speakers can work in small spaces.\u00a0 I’ve heard it many times.\u00a0 You CAN listen to Volti speakers in nearfield configuration.\u00a0 The integration of the drivers is THAT good.<\/p>\n
When I listen to music, I often turn it up loud enough so I can feel the bass.\u00a0 Music has bass.\u00a0 Music has bass.\u00a0 And in case you didn’t quite get what I am saying here – music has bass.\u00a0 To not have bass is to not have the full musical experience.\u00a0 I hear people complain about a system ‘overdriving’ a room.\u00a0 Pfffft.\u00a0 It’s not overdriving, it’s called ‘feeling the bass’.\u00a0 It’s part of the musical experience.\u00a0 \u00a0The music is not overdriving the room, it’s energizing the room and that’s why you feel it.\u00a0 There’s nothing wrong with that.\u00a0 It’s normal.\u00a0 Have these people never been to a concert?<\/p>\n
I don’t have time to sit and listen to music on a system that’s not giving me the excitement of the full musical experience.\u00a0 I don’t have time.\u00a0 I have things to do.\u00a0 Sitting and listening at 70db with no feeling to the music is like sitting and watching paint dry.\u00a0 One minute and I’m bored.\u00a0 I need more than that.\u00a0 If someone is scared to drive the system loud enough to energize the room so they can feel the music, then I wonder why they are putting so much money, time, and energy into a hifi system in the first place.\u00a0 A table top radio would do the trick.<\/p>\n
Life is too short to not have the feeling of the music.\u00a0 My time is too valuable to sit and listen to a system that doesn’t give it to me 100%.\u00a0 This is what Volti speakers are all about.\u00a0 If you don’t want it 100%, then there are plenty of boring hifi box speakers out there to buy.\u00a0 Lot’s of people like that kind of polite, gentle, 70db sound.\u00a0 Good for them.\u00a0 But that sound is not for me.\u00a0 I need to be fully engaged, the same way I am fully engaged when I’m sitting ten feet away from someone playing the piano, or ten feet away from a string quartet, or in the audience at a rock concert.\u00a0 Live events get my full attention.\u00a0 I’m not bored.\u00a0 When I listen to my system at home, I want the same thing.\u00a0 I want the performers in front of me, and I want the full impact of what they are playing for me.\u00a0 I will sit and pay attention and enjoy that performance the same way I would if it was live in front of me.\u00a0 The full range of bass is part of that experience, and at a live performance you feel the bass.<\/p>\n
Here’s the thing.\u00a0 Energizing a smaller room with big speakers takes a lot less power and volume level than energizing a larger room with smaller speakers.\u00a0 To my way of thinking, it’s better to have big speakers in a small room.\u00a0 I don’t turn the volume as high, I get less distortion and a more effortless presentation to the music, and I can enjoy the feedback from the room as it is energized at this lower volume level.\u00a0 Bigger rooms require a higher volume level and perhaps larger speakers to get to the same point of energizing the room.<\/p>\n
So you’ve got a room that is not working well with the bass your speakers are putting out.\u00a0 What do you do to fix it?\u00a0 I feel for you, because it’s not easy to deal with.\u00a0 Bass nodes and cancellations are the culprit.\u00a0 I can think of a few ways to deal with these issues.\u00a0 There may be more, but this is off the top of my head.<\/p>\n

In the Volti lineup, the Razz, Lucera, and Rival all have powerful bass that is in the proper proportion from low to high.\u00a0 They will all interact with any room pretty much the same way.\u00a0 In terms of the physical size of each of the models in your room – each one is going to take up a relatively small plot of space on the floor of your room.\u00a0 The few inches of difference from one to the other really doesn’t impact floor space to any great degree.\u00a0 The real differences between these three models have more to do with sensitivity and driver quality.\u00a0 Moving up in the range results in a higher level of sound quality and refinement at each step.\u00a0 Buy the one you can afford and enjoy the fantastic presentation of music they will give you.\u00a0 A musical engagement that few other speakers can match.<\/p>\n
