Talon Loudspeakers

Has anybody heard the Talon loudspeakers? Any thoughts? Especially the Talon Peregrine speakers ($6,000). Thanks.

Carl: The Prodigy is Martin Logan's new $10k speaker that is less seamless between the analogue woofer and the electrostat. RHB isn't over priced. I think it is under priced and so not taken seriously. But their offerings aren't quite high end. My point in mentioning RBH was that I prefer their $1800pr and $3300pr versions' midrange to that of the Talon Korus. Talon beats them in the base though.

I'm still in the planning stages of a speaker project that will use the Dynaudio Esotar midrange, and I feel that this speaker will have better midrange than all the rest. It's an unbelievable driver, and I won't be skimping on the "whole" versus the sum of the parts, either. I won't have these built in the very near future, though. BTW, have a good chuckle on me, if you (like most on here) think speaker hobbyists can't build anything decent. These may be on my future website.

carl, have ewe heard the accuton ceramic drivers? i haven't, but want to - lotsa folks say this is the best midrange driver ever. these are the drivers used in speakers like the kharmas. specs on the accuton drivers indicate they are ~20 times faster than any other conwentional dynamic driver. doug

Glreno-- Boy can I relate to what you are going thru. I have the Khorus' and the VR6's. I was planning to sell whichever. The thought of putting the 6's back into my main system crosses my mind every day. The only problem is that the Khorus' sound better and better each time I listen. I was so dissappointed in the mids from the Talon's at first, convinced that I had been spoiled by the VR6's. But the Khorus' did so many things great right out of the box that I amm doing as suggested and giving them 500 hrs to break in fully. I am at about 200 hrs now as is Philefreak. These speakers are really getting so good. The improvement in the mids seems to be constantly happening. They have not yet surpassed the VR6's but if they are this good now they desrve the full 500hrs. I have seen such a change in the raggedness of the mids that started out. I have spoken to several others about this speaker and to a person they all say these speakers get beyond fabulous. I have spoken to reviewers that are in the process of reviewing these that have said the same thing. Enjoy them getting better and beteer
