Talon Loudspeakers


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

carl, i *have* to agree w/you about importance of room set-up. my system, while not cheap, is nowhere *near* some of the hi-dollar set-ups out there, but it's wery musically satisfying, because i'm blessed w/a nice big room - 25'x38'x8.5'. the room is the *most* important component of *any* stereo system, imho...
hey (sy)phill(ys) - it's ewe, again, w/more postings offering absolutely *nothing* constructive. ewe say: "Another dimwitted post from my favorite imbecile Carl_eber. Carl, I'm glad that you've listened to every speaker in existence and can tell us that ONLY maggies aren't overpriced. What a moron you are!" ok, (sy)phill(ys), exactly *who's* the moron here? can't ewe READ? carl said: "IMO" - that means *in my opinion*. nothing more, nothing less. too bad the only opinions *ewe* ever have are that those who don't like only the equipment *ewe* own, are idiots/morons/suckers/tin-eared, ad infinitum, ad nauseum. really constructive... doug
carl, have ewe heard the accuton ceramic drivers? i haven't, but want to - lotsa folks say this is the best midrange driver ever. these are the drivers used in speakers like the kharmas. specs on the accuton drivers indicate they are ~20 times faster than any other conwentional dynamic driver. doug
jeez, (sy)phill(ys) - i guess yer rite - too bad i'm stupid. too bad that's all ewe care about re: audio. doug
hi carl, the accuton drivers *are* the drivers used by kharma, even their top-model, which runs ~$80k/pair (?!?) they're also known as thiel & partner - no relation to thiel in kentucky - these are german. perhaps ewe should check their specs, awailable at orcadesign: http://www.orcadesign.com/accuton/accuton.htm my understanding is that they are lighter, fast w/plenty of motor strength. also, they are ceramic - glass - not metal. their operation is virtually pistonic in nature... regards, doug ps - i guess i could have yust anwsered: carl, you're an idiot!, & left it at that - now *that* would have been productive, eh? ;~)
read closer, carl - i was poking fun at our buddy phill, commenting on how productive name calling is: NOT!!! ;~) perhaps jon v *did* get it wrong, but i've heard from others that these drivers are one & the same... regards, doug
he fred, if james & his buddies tink he's getting good sound w/set's on his talons, so be it. it's prolly wery nice. i tink, unless yuve heard *his* set-up, ewe can't make a judgment that it's not working. *everyone* knows the generalized limitations of set amps & dynamic-driver-speakers. i mean it's not like he's saying he goes skydiving every weekend w/o a parachute, & enjoys it! regards, doug
