Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2013 Hot Product
The Alura A15/MT1 ($13,900/pair) is Volti Audio's second
speaker model, following on the great success of the Vittora. It is a three-way
horn/dynamic hybrid that combines a 15" bass-reflex woofer, a tractrix-flared
midrange horn with a 2" midrange, and an elliptical tractrix-flared tweeter horn
with a 1" compression tweeter. Sensitivity is high at a quoted 98dB/W/m, and the
A15/MT1 is a relatively easy 6-ohm load for the partnering amp. As with the Vittora, this
speaker's cabinet is entirely Baltic birch plywood, and Greg Roberts, the founder of Volti
Audio, makes each speaker himself, proving once again his cred as an woodworker. |
