my Talon Khorus sounds bad


my Talon Khorus sounds bad...
i've recently purchased a preowned talon khorus loudspeakers (about a year old) ,
at high listening level rock music sounds compressed,
distorted...not what u'd expect from a 14000 dollars
(retail) .
WHAT CAN B WRONG HERE?
those speakers are hooked with a nordost blue haven wire
to a krell 300i integraged amp and a rega planet 2000 cd
player.
thanks and regards

Thank you all for your kind help
i've heard good things about the people in TALON
still, i didnt expect to get a response from them here.
a stand up manufacturer indeed !
i will contact TALON and try to solve that problem.
needless to say, i love hi-fi audio but i dont consider
myself a guy with an audiophile ear.
i guess what i'm trying to say is that at high listening
volume the sound gets so bad even a 10 year old would notice. gets distorted to a point where u just cant recognize the music.
i have also noticed that the KRELL tends to heat to a point where u simply cant touch it when played for a lengthy period of time at high volume (an hour or so),
does that mean that the KRELL is running out of juice and
does it have anything to do with the distortion?
i will let you know what happens when i speak with TALON.
THANK YOU AGAIN.
