Aerial Acoustics 10T vs Talon Khorus


I plan on buying some used speakers to replace my Tekton Double impact, which will be sold @ auction on another site (Reserve Met). I have been looking and researching replacement speakers for several months now. Today, or for now, i have narrowed it down to the 2 speakers mentioned above. The Aerial Acoustics 10T are perfect like new condition and are the latest or last version or iteration. made. They are a beautiful Rosewood finish with the most up to date components for that Model (10T).

The Talon Khorus X look older and have had the crossovers updated ...etc

I think that the Aerials would be the better choice. For one thing, in my limited exposure to both brands the Aerials sound better. Besides that, they are still in business which Talon is not.

I always felt that Talon was overhyped (by the company itself) for instance, saying their port wasn’t really a port, and coming up with some hocus pocus reason to justify it. Aerial is a good speaker line, if a little obscure these days.

I tend to lean that way, besides if you look at the Aerials,  they are drop dead gorgeous. AND only like 150 miles from me

Thanks for the reply

 

@grey9hound I owned the 10T's and they are stunning in sound and looks but they need good clean power to sound great and definitely need the stands. Miss them!

Luckily, they come with the stands. I have Belles SA-100 and Belles 150A v2. The SA-100 is a high current amp. I am pretty sure it will do them justice.

Thanks
