Hey, what took you so long to get back on line... As a Khorus/2 owner :^) I would like to say "congratulations" on all who were involved in the awakening of the sleeping giant (Talon) and the best of luck to its new owners...Great Product...
Thank you for your kind words. I agree that Talon is an outstanding product, it just didn't have what it needed behind it in terms of business. We are very fortunate to bring this level of engineering and design to market.

As to taking long to get on line, we had the website up the same day we purchased the company. For obvious reasons, we couldn't do it before we purchased the company.
Congratulations RIves!

For what it's worth Lloyd Walker (Walker Turntables) thinks the Talon is one of the finest speakers in the world. I respect both you and Lloyd so I assume by connection, you are throwing your support into very high quality product.

It will be interesting to see where you take this company. I hope you do a product at the upper limit (large and powerful) to compete with the other big speakers.
Thank you Albert (and Lloyd indirectly). There are a number of things in development and the concept of a large reference speaker is being considered. However, at the moment we have some fundamental things to deal with right now. Most importantly is building the dealer network.
