Perry buys Talon Khorus

Fred, Clement Perry works for Stereo Times and by no means is an employee of Talon. The review pair was requested by Perry due to consumer comments. Everything during and after the review process has been above board and fair. Talon has not made any job offers to Clement, nor do we plan on any devious marketing attempt to pad our reviews. Even when we received a review copy an asked for comments the only change we made was for the correct terminology in the finish. There were several aspects that we would have liked differently, but we do not want to take away from Clement's analysis. The review is Clement's personal enthusiasm for the Khorus'. He mentioned that he was very nervous to write how he feels due to the criticism for his honesty. He did what most writers are fearful of doing, telling it how they see it foregoing the political repercussions. We at Talon have worked for many years to deliver a product with real technology that will satisfy the complicated demands of music and movies, being honest to the recorded material. Your naive comments towards our technology displays your lack of enthusiasm for progressive movement is speaker technology. The medium for loudspeaker design is over 20 years old with technology aiming towards component parts and cabinet. You might scoff at our 10" woofer with its accordian surround. Truthfully, we could not use any other woofer to deliver the demands of what we are requiring. The accordian surrond is stiff which creates the proper impedance path for removing standing waves. It also allows a 3/4" peak to peak excursion. We source the dust cap for its physical properties and ability to work with a woofer driver. Basically, using another driver(titanium, kevlar, carbon fiber) would compromise the sound, resulting is a lossy sound with unrecoverable phase shift peaks. Others will review and give you their opinions as to our technology, so instead of trying to slander Clement and accuse Talon of devious practices, maybe you should wait to see what others say. Or maybe you should even spend some time and listen for yourself. We offer this technology for those searching better more defineable sound. There are those that are not captured by the sound of our speakers and others that are engulfed. The great thing about audio is that we are free to make our own decisions. So let the cutomers decide with their own ears without the slanderous remarks.

Fred, I really appreciate your honesty in clearing things up about Clement. Most people would not have the integrity to do this. I understand your opinions regarding our loudspeakers, I did not believe that a 10" 2-way could work either, 2 years ago. This led to quitting a great job and pursuing the manufactuing of this technology. It amazes me to this day that we have not seen anything close to the repeatability of our design. Each individual needs to listen for themselves. It may strike you during your first audition, or it may take several others, or you may choose current technology. The technology is based at delivering mass and speed in time to create a more defineable and repeatable medium. This also lowers inter-modulation distortion and eliminates compression. Different designs can be made using this technology to create a different sound to suit listeners tastes, but you will have a more consistent loudspeaker that can jump from music to movies to sound reinfrocement, etc. I hope this helps you understand what we are doing and I do appreciate your skepticism towards the comments that have been made. Have a listen. Happy Listening as always, Mike
