I think that the Aerials would be the better choice. For one thing, in my limited exposure to both brands the Aerials sound better. Besides that, they are still in business which Talon is not.
I always felt that Talon was overhyped (by the company itself) for instance, saying their port wasn’t really a port, and coming up with some hocus pocus reason to justify it. Aerial is a good speaker line, if a little obscure these days.
