| KR-Enterprise amps Hi Merle! Welborne isn't to blame. He actually makes some great stuff. Like many small hi end manufacturers, he is a cottage industry. Early KR amps are unreliable. I owned the VT6000. A tube went bad, and I had to send it to Prague to get it repl... | |
| vac or art audio The last amp I owned was a VAC 30/30 Mk 3. I now own the Art Audio Jota. I was using the VAC with Von Scweikert VR6 speakers. I am using the Art Audio with Talon Khorus speakers. Both are terrific amps, but the Jota has tighter bass, is more neutr... | |
| Talon Loudspeakers Hi James! It sounds great! Bass is as solid and powerful as the solid state amp I had before, but with more detail. It can rock, or play delicate passages equally well. The sound is harmonically rich and natural, and the soundstaging is wider and ... | |
| Anyone Tried The Other Talon Speakers? Just reading the current issue of Stereotimes. The Eggleston Rosa at $9900. was reviewed. They compared the bass of this speaker to the $6000. Talon Peregrine, a stand mounted two-way, and said this: "Initially, I thought, "Wow, these speakers (Ro... | |
| Talon Audio Khorus - WOW!!! Just reading the current issue of Stereotimes. The Eggleston Rosa at $9900. was reviewed. They compared the bass of this speaker to the $6000. Talon Peregrine, a stand mounted two-way, and said this: "Initially, I thought, "Wow, these speakers (Ro... | |
| Best and Worst customer service? Talon Audio has been great. They are always accesible, willing to stay on the phone and answer all your questions, and are very helpful. | |
| Talon Loudspeakers I think you're right about the tube break-in, but I wouldn't describe the sound as lean. If anything, I think the Electrocompaniet has a tad too much bloom for my taste. It was a great match with the Maggies, which is what I bought it for. The Jot... | |
| Talon Audio Khorus - WOW!!! Hi Mike! What is your associated equipment? They work well with SETs. I now have mine with an Art Audio Jota, and it is a wonderful match. They do just keep getting better. Keep playing them. They also have a better set of spikes available for the... | |
| Talon Audio Khorus??? Read the other threads about the Talon. You'll see that this last response from Fred_lane is full of it. | |
| Talon Loudspeakers That is an interesting comparison. The Jota actually has a less lush midrange than the Electrocompaniet. Both work extremely well with these speakers. I obviously like the Jota more, but I'm a tube guy. What is amazing is that the bass with this S... | |
| Talon Loudspeakers Hi James! I got my Jota today and it drives the piss out of the Talons using the VV32B at 20watts per channel. It plays as loud as the Electrocompaniet AW120, which is what I was using previously. The Jota takes 310 volts from my P600, where as th... | |
| Talon Loudspeakers I was talking to Joe Fratus of Art Audio today about the amp I bought. He asked what speakers I was using. When I told him I own the Khorus, he said he heard them two weeks ago and "it was unbelievable what those speakers can do. They're great." H... | |
| Talon Loudspeakers Hi James and Mike! One thing I've noticed about the Talons is that they do seem to be more efficient than the 90.5 rating they are given. My amplifier runs off of a PS Audio P600. When I was driving the VR6s with the same amp, the output voltage o... | |
| Talon Loudspeakers Thanks Mike! I forgot about Bel Canto. Let me know what your feeling are about it after you audition it. I had Cary 805Cs at one time. They use the 845. I think these amps are either highly over-rated or just didn't work in my system. What speaker... | |
| Talon Loudspeakers Hey James! Thanks for the response about SETs and the Talons. I am going to try an Art Audio Jota with them to see what happens. Not a exactly a three watter, but I am looking forward to the hearing the strengths of these type of amplifiers throug... |
