Talon Falcon C; Bueller... anyone??


Hi. I have always loved the sound of the, sadly nascent, Talon Audio loudspeakers. I have always wanted a pair, but most of their models are simply too large for my smallish listening room.
The Falcons, however, are large stand mounts.
Does anyone know anything about this obscure model? There is virtually nothing online. I have a Pass 30 watt Class A amp. I currently use Wilson Benesch Trinity with an REL BRITTANIA sub. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

Hi bsimpson. Thanks for your insight. Your experience is contrary to my own; at least with respect to the Talon Khorus X and the Raven C. I found the Talon 10” (essentially) full-range driver to be pretty special. That driver, along with the semi-sealed enclosure Talon developed, I found to deliver surprisingly taut and deep bass, as well as exceptional midrange. The ceramic tweeters were bested by high quality soft-domes and some beryllium, but overall I found them exceptional. The Falcon has the same drivers in a (large) monitor cabinet, which intrigues me. Many other exceptional brands fell during the same period (Dunlavy, Avalon, Merlin, Meadowlark), and they were definitely not “for a reason,” as you phrase it. It was a terrible economic environment (and Dunlavy passed away, for example). I appreciate your feedback, especially as an owner of the Peregrine. Any other experiences out there...? Thanks again
