Talon Khorus

I would say: caution.  Talon speakers were a divisive speaker.  At least at that time some people raved them up as the next best thing - sort of the Tekton speakers of their day.

When I got to audition some Talon speakers I was dumbfounded by how sheerly awful they were (so colored it was ridiculous...and I seem to remember they measured poorly in the Soundstage measurements, to the point of some controversy).

YMMV...

@prof "I was dumbfounded by how sheerly awful they were."

+1.  If you like the way they look, you will fall in love with them until you hear them.  Like a lot of loudspeakers, if you know what you're doing, you can do a lot to improve them by going through the crossover.  But I've met scant few people who actually understand what they're doing, including most loudspeaker manufacturers

I remember the Talons making a huge splash in 2002-2004 or so and then just as quickly vanishing. Hey didn't seem to have much staying power 

Owned them - V2 version. Decent speaker for $4000 grand used about 14 years ago. I think they sound good for no more than $1200 used today.
