Aerial Acoustics 10T vs Talon Khorus

I plan on buying some used speakers to replace my Tekton Double impact, which will be sold @ auction on another site (Reserve Met). I have been looking and researching replacement speakers for several months now. Today, or for now, i have narrowed it down to the 2 speakers mentioned above. The Aerial Acoustics 10T are perfect like new condition and are the latest or last version or iteration. made. They are a beautiful Rosewood finish with the most up to date components for that Model (10T).

The Talon Khorus X look older and have had the crossovers updated ...etc

Any thoughts ????

soix is correct.

 

I don't know about their newer products, but those older Talons measured terrible

See here:

AND sounded like they measured: super colored.  For a while I had the monitor version to check out and I literally thought they were broken they sounded so "off."

The Ariel speakers measure better and sound like it (I'd auditioned the 10T not too long before hearing the Talon speakers, long ago).   They 10T is more open and natural sounding, and very powerful.  (Careful with the bass...as I remember).
