Aerial Acoustics 10T vs Talon Khorus

I'd opt for the Aerials. Wouldn't be a gas if these were the Talons that MC sold to fund his beloved Tektons and now some guy is selling his Tektons to move into the Khorus.

Another vote for the Aerials.  The Talons were said to measure very poorly and hence were never reviewed in publications that provided measurements.  Plus, as mentioned earlier, they’re outta business so good luck if you blow a driver.  I think the choice is crystal clear. 

soix is correct.

I don't know about their newer products, but those older Talons measured terrible

AND sounded like they measured: super colored.  For a while I had the monitor version to check out and I literally thought they were broken they sounded so "off."

The Ariel speakers measure better and sound like it (I'd auditioned the 10T not too long before hearing the Talon speakers, long ago).   They 10T is more open and natural sounding, and very powerful.  (Careful with the bass...as I remember).

Thanks to all for the replies.

I have decided to go with the Aerial 10Ts. They come with the stands, and yes he wants too much for them, BUT in the pictures they look Brand New.

I will pay more because of all of these factors

I view Aerial 10Ts as one of the classic speakers of our time and u can’t go wrong as long as you have the power to drive them, which apparently you do.  Enjoy!!!
