I read that last week when I first got my copy.Wow. Yet no obvious conclusions from JA regarding it.
I think they call that gaslighting..Another excellent job by JA to report the measurements and then find a way to dance around having to make any real negative comments.

He thinks of inventive ways to maybe mitigate the top end problems with placement and tube amps that will alter the FR at the top..
Can't throw any dirt on Tom Gibb's rave.
"The ability of Volti Audio's Razz to portray music of any genre with scale, realism, and thrilling dynamics is unmatched by any loudspeaker I've had in my system."

Interesting how the reviewer said nothing about their tonal balance!
That is actually not suspicious at all. Similar kinds of extreme toe-in are advocated by Earl Geddes and Jorma Salmi of Gradient. This increases the lateral sweetspot while reducing early reflections, particularly for narrow-directivty-speakers."Roberts used a tape measure to align the centers of the tweeters, then, rather than point the tweeters straight ahead, or directly at my head, or somewhere in between, he pointed the left tweeter at the right, outside edge of my chair and the right tweeter at its left outside edge, so that their axes crossed slightly in front of me."
Nothing to hide here. Carry on.
