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

My peregrine Xs go loud very easily. There soundstage is wide and uncompressed. I'm running mine with a 300 watt high current amp. The talons need a fair amount of current i have learnt to drive them properly. I suggest getting a pair of bel canto evo mono blocks for about 3k used. It may take some time to save up but in the end i think you will be a lot happier with your system. The Talons, however, are certainly not the weak links in your systems performance.
