Talon speakers Hawk vs. Peregrine X


I am in the market for a new speaker to go in a small/medium sized room. It's 16Lx13Wx11h. I currently have the JM Lab Micro Utopia and love them, but I'm seeking a fuller sound. My amp is the YBA passion integrated at 100w/ch. Somebody recommend Talon speakers to me and I'm trying to find out more. What is the difference between the Hawks and the Peregrine X? Can they be driven by my YBA? Any comments also on why they have not held up their resales well? They seem to be a good value at resale.

Hello...There are significant differences between the Peregrine X and the new Hawk. Drivers, enclosure, crossover, overall design, etc. are all very different.
Given the size of your listening room, you should not need a sub with the Hawks. Also, your YBA integrated will work very well with the Hawks.

Here is a link to a review of the Hawks:

If you want a true full-range speaker that is a monitor, I highly recommend that you take a look at the new Talon Falcon-C (essentially a Raven-C in a smaller enclosure minus the last octave of bass response).

Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any further questions.
