The Rival is a three-way, hybrid horn/bass-reflex loudspeaker, with high sensitivity, wide bandwidth, superb build quality and a sound that can best be described as ‘effortlessly powerful’.

Utilizing the same internal components and extremely high build quality found in my flagship Vittora loudspeaker . . .

. . . the Rival has a very similar sound signature as the Vittora.

A true horn speaker, with lightning fast dynamics, presence and immediacy.  It is a speaker that combines effortless power delivery and refinement – a rare combination.

The Rival delivers a sound that is musically engaging and easy to love.  You can sit for hours and listen to music without fatigue or annoyances that are often found in lesser horn speaker designs.

Truly a speaker you can live with long term.

Placement Flexibility

The Rival is room-friendly and can be positioned against a wall, in a corner, or pulled out into the room. It is front-ported which allows the greatest flexibility in placement since the port does not rely on, nor is affected by, walls behind or beside the speaker.

The sensitivity and ease of drive make the Rival capable of filling a very large room whereas the superb integration ensures it will also work in an intimate, near-field setting.

Sound Signature

With a frequency response of 32Hz – 20Khz and a sensitivity of 100db (2.83v/1M), The Rival delivers glorious, full range, tactile sound from as little as a couple watts of power.

The Rival exemplifies the “Volti” sound signature you’ll hear in all of our speakers:

• Effortless power delivery
• Wide dynamic range
• Finely resolved articulate mid-range
• Immersive, room-filling sound
• Pinpoint imaging and wide soundstage
• Sings-with-one-voice driver integration
• Full-range bandwidth
• Tight, deep bass
• Accurate tone and timbre
