Better Amps For Talon Khorus CAT JL2 or Tenor 75?

The tenors are the best amps I have ever heard and I have listened to a JL2 for a long time. There is something about an OTL tube amp that is simply magical. I think the JL2 is a great amp and for some speakers would probably be the better choice, how ever due to the impedence and sensitivity of the Talon I couldn't urge you strongly enough to try the tenors.

2 participants in these forums have had the talon/tenor combos: Jtinn and Lakefrontroad. You may want to check with them.

The Tenor is VERY good, no experience with the CAT. However, I prefer the new Power Modules (Belles) 350A monoblocks (the stereo version is also incredible). Absolutely STUNNING sound (we have them running on the floor now driving the Talons). Contact Mike Farnsworth at Talon Audio for his thoughts on the Tenor and Belles (he has extensive experience with both) with the Talon speakers.

The tenors are the best amps I've heard. I have heard them several times with the talon khorus X and they are a wonderful match. The talon's are efficient enough that 75 high current tube watts drives the EASILY.

Not that you asked but just for the record, the Edge NL-12 (or NL-10) solid state really matches incredibly with the Talon Khorus X MKII. I have this set-up and couldn't be happier. It actually is very tube-like for a SS and yet feeds the Khorus with deep bass and punch which tube amps tend to be shy on.
