Talon Falcon C; Bueller... anyone??

It's obscure for a reason.

Talon went broke for a reason too.

You should just let it go.....  :-)

On a serious note: I once owned a pair of Talon Audio's Peregrine X.  It did certain things way better than most others.  It also did most things way worst than most others.

Since a widely and very well reviewed Talon model sounded like that thru my ears, I did not bother trying any other Talon.

Hope this helps.

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 

Where are you at? I have Falcon C speakers hooked up. I'm in the Central Florida area.
BTW: As long as your Talons have up to spec crossovers, they should sound incredible and compete way beyond their price point. At a used price point, I think it's a no-brainer to at least try a set.

You could always try to find a pair of Escalante speakers?  They went out of business too, but were newer than Talon.  Similar designs.  Designed by old Talon designer.  I would move on though....so many speakers better than Talon.  I had two pairs 20yrs ago, and dont miss them at all.
