At AXPONA 2026, Volti Audio Owner Greg Roberts talks about all the gear shown in the company's room at the show in an interview with Ken Micallef that's now posted on our YouTube channel.
The Volti Audio sound in five words: fast, fat, rich, transparent, engaging. I own Volti speakers for their quick-witted, horn-loaded transient response, transparent and rich mids, and the kind of atomized, deep-bowelled, thoroughly natural bass response—all of which makes music not just sing but stand at attention and deliver with specific imaging, live dynamics, and room-filling musical wonder.
Playing ZZ Top's "Blue Jean Blues" (originally from 1975's Fandango!) on Volti Audio Owner Greg Roberts' rig at AXPONA 2026 was a study in quicksilver guitar finery, relaxed tempos, engrossing tonality, and nearly live music reproduction—the kind of which leaves you on the floor in a puddle of feelgood sonic vibrations.
