“Living Voice OBX RW speakers have a simply magical sound that slowly and insidiously places you into a musical spell.”Wow that is most definitely quite a description.Kenny.

The Volti’s do look interesting for a modern take on some classic horn designs Implemented with some carefully chosen drivers and “Tunable” crossovers for folks that venture past just plug and play.The rival would be the only one that I was intere...
