Has anybody heard the Talon loudspeakers? Any thoughts? Especially the Talon Peregrine speakers ($6,000). Thanks.

I own a pair Talon Khorus. They are without doubt the best I've ever owned or heard. Fast, so neutral that at first I thought I didn't like it but the more listening I did the more I realized they're just right. All those disk we play over and over, while others get put back in the back because we think they don't sound good. It is the recording engineers job to make a good cd with it's air, detail,tonal accuracy. Not the speakers,the speakers should play out what goes in. I have found myself digging out the old disk and finding them to be real gems hidden for so long, cause my old speakers were to analytical, to bright,some kind of coloration that made those few select cd's get plenty of play cause the speaker coloration plus the cd's colorations matched up so well. But all that changes with the Talon's, you have to relearn all you have learned. Talon's just let you here what recording engineer wants you to here. They are simply incredible. So to the gentleman who has all our money, maybe he should come off some that rusty money & buy a new speaker so advanced that it blows him away. This speaker is for true audiophiles whether they use credit or pay cash,cause it is simply involving to the point of allmost an hypnotic state.
I reckon me & Acuujim are just a couple of idiots in idiot land on idiots get in free day. But we sure are enjoying great sound. What ya think Acuujim. I need some oceanfront property in Tenn. by the way. But need financing from Phill or maybe Joco since he seems to have so much $$$ and since I've spent all my $$$ on speakers.
I'm sitting & listening to my Khorus's after about 80 hrs. of break in,by the way listening to Diane Shuur & B.B.King GRP Heart to heart. I now know why I paid more for these speakers Than my fisrt car. Words can not describe. You know how every time you upgrade something you think how can it sound any better? This is it, this is the sound I wanted. Well I'll tell you how, get some Talon's!!!!
Glreno,Be patient the best sound you've ever heard is coming. I'm at 200 hrs. and wonderful.
I only play mine loud during the day, At night while we're as sleep they play low.In the manual(which I'm sure you've read a million times) it says not to use any breaking in tweaks with the acception of loud,harmonic rich music.
I think they like solid state amps best. I've been trying the Bel Canto EVo. They are amazing with Talons. The speed of the digital amp w/ the speed of the Talons are a perfect match. I was negative at first, having $14000.00 speakers driven by $2400.00 amp just didn't seem right. But the sound is wonderful.Glreno, your in for more as you reach the 500 hr. This is what being an audiophile is all about.
Glreno, I'm currently having an amp shoot out. I've owned a pair Pass Labs Aleph 2's for a while now and they are great amps. But I think that the Alephs area little soft with this speaker(Talons). I've just completed a home audition of an incredible new design that blew me away. This is of course the EVo which I've mentioned before. I think the EVo might be a liitle forward on bright, forward speakers. That's where you use the real smooth, softer Alephs. The Bel Canto is a real eye opener(ear opener). I've got a Llano Trinity 200 on the way. It's bought on a thirty day home trial, can't beat that. I've heard very positive things about the Llano amp, one thing is for sure it will do a lot to top the EVo. But I'll see(hear).
