I would look into a better amplifier and better speaker cables. One thing about great speakers is that they do demand high quality components. You can really hear the grain in a mid-grade component.
I've heard the krell integrated, and it is a little grainy. I've hooked my crummy old denon receiver up to my audio physic avant's & you can REALLY heard the mid-fi electronics. It sounds far worse with high resolution speakers.
One of my friends has Talon Khoruses. He uses a Krell 600, Krell kps 25 (?) & quattro-fil w/spm speaker cables. I haven't heard his system yet, but he's been around the hobby a while & knows his stuff.
As mentioned above, you might also be hearing the low quality of some rock recordings. I pulled out some of my old rock recording a while back (late 80's cd's) & I couldn't believe how bad they sounded on my system.
Good luck, and KUDOS to Talon for their quick response.
