Talon Loudspeakers
Mike at Talon Audio: Thanks for your post. Although you thing my post was “getting personal” and have called me “uncouth” I take no offense, and hope you have taken no offense either. Being personal or offensive was not my intention. Being accurat... 
best inerconnect $300 to $400
I bought my Coincident cables directly from Israel Blume. Megasam: Go ahead and buy a pair. If you don't love them, I'll buy them off you. 
Most Honest Audio Magazine?
I second (or third or forth) recommendations of Bound for Sound. For the record, their URL is http://www.boundforsound.com There is also an interesting site that reviews reviewers at http://www.high-endaudio.com/index_ac.html TAS beats Sterophile....

I also have a pair of 1 meter coincident ICs. I broke them in for more than 10 days straight paying from a CD Technics 110 disk changer as a source playing a variety of CDs. They sounded great out of the box but more mellow and defined after even ... 
Hospital Grade Wall Outlets
I understand that Woodhead outlets have a higher and purer copper content than any hospital grade outlet. I understand that an audio dealer supposedly did extensive listening testing of some 40 or more different plugs and believes Woodhead to be s... 
what altec speakers do I have?
Try this site: http://www.angelfire.com/ok/AltecLansing/index.html The operator has some sound knowledge of Altec product. If he can't help you I've got some older literature boxed up I can dig out from my days as an Altec dealer.

Carl: The Prodigy is Martin Logan's new $10k speaker that is less seamless between the analogue woofer and the electrostat. RHB isn't over priced. I think it is under priced and so not taken seriously. But their offerings aren't quite high end. My... 
Talon Loudspeakers
I've heard the Talon Khorus at some length in the company president's home driven by a fortune in Jeff Roland amps. Yes the bass is fast and tight. And that's it. After everthing I'd heard and read about the speaker I was underwhelmed. I've been i... 
Montana speakers?
Oh, and thanks Carl, for your response. Acuumjim: I didn't want to just trash the Talon Khorus. I'd like to hear more of your thoughts. 
Montana speakers?
Thanks Catman. Brauser: Do I understand that you prefer the Dunlavy to either the ML, Wilson or Whisper? Can you elaborate? I'd still like to hear from you. 
Best speakers for 2500....thump included
I recently listen to RBH 1044 and 1266 and was very impressed. I don't know if they go all the way to 30hz, but pretty close. For my ears they are more open than B&W or Paradigm of a similar price, and even than the Paradigm Studio Reference 1... 
Sunfire with Martin Logans
I've spend a fair amount of time recently auditioning ReQuests and Prodigy. I first heard Requests powered by an Adcom 5802 with Sony's SACD through the Adcom GRP 750 preamp. Male and female vocals were to die for, but there was a noticable discon... 
Looking for loudspeakers under $4,000
Re: MLs. I heard the Prodigy this summer in San Diego driven by the big Krell monoblocks. They are impressive. I still prefer either the Dunlavy 4a or 5 to them because of better dynamics, sound staging and life. The base is more seamless on the P... 
Looking for loudspeakers under $4,000
If you're going to heard the Talon Khite, check out the RBH 1044-SE. It is under $2k per pair. I wouldn't pay the extra for the Khite, or any Talon product. (Sorry to disappoint or offend any Talon lovers). Talon's products, IMO, are overpriced, a... 
Montana speakers?
Thank you, all of you, for your responses. They are helpful. Acuujim: I have carefully listend to the Talon Khorus (in the company president's home -- with a fortune in Jeff Roland electonics). And I hesitate to say this about them . . . but I fee...
