Talon Audio


I saw these speakers for sale on Audiogon, so I tried to get some background from their site (very nice BTW). The info seemed interesting enough for me to take a trip to my closest dealer. I was not prepared for what I heard. These speakers were unbelievably fast, detailed, coherent, dynamic, with a "life" to the music that I had never heard before outside of a live performance. These my friends, are the real McCoy's. I would like to hear anyone else's thoughts who may have heard these speakers.

I would like to know what drivers and crossover topology these Talon speakers use, if you don't mind. I seem to recall checking their website out, and it was deliberately vague. And don't tell me the details don't matter, because details always matter (I even heard the "devil" lurks in them, heh heh)...
What'd be really cool is if I could get my question answered, since I don't think much of "magic shows". "Just the facts, Ma'am".......
I've not seen or heard these Talon models, and don't want to pre-suppose anything about them, or even the people posting in this thread. However, I will say that a whole is NEVER greater than the sum of its parts. I'm a speaker hobbyist myself, and feel that two of my design ideas would be (at least) extremely competitive if they were ever brought to market. Just me saying that is meaningless, I realize, but I'd like to think I know how to gauge speakers. Double speak sales talk doesn't work on me, I'm always interested in how they're designed and built..............And as for Wilson speakers, I feel that every model they produce is over priced, when you consider the competition. They're a big name, a juggernaught, and they won't last forever. The past decade has been kind to them, but I don't see that carrying over into this decade for much longer.
