Talon Loudspeakers

read closer, carl - i was poking fun at our buddy phill, commenting on how productive name calling is: NOT!!! ;~) perhaps jon v *did* get it wrong, but i've heard from others that these drivers are one & the same... regards, doug

Acuujim and Philefreak! The Talons are now breaking in and sounding really good. I left them on while diving out of the country for two weeks. That was enough to break-in the mid-range drivers. The soundstaging and imaging of these speakers is better than my VR6s. The bass is very fast and the detail is amazing. They are truly world class. Thanks for the feedback.

I think they like solid state amps best. I've been trying the Bel Canto EVo. They are amazing with Talons. The speed of the digital amp w/ the speed of the Talons are a perfect match. I was negative at first, having $14000.00 speakers driven by $2400.00 amp just didn't seem right. But the sound is wonderful.Glreno, your in for more as you reach the 500 hr. This is what being an audiophile is all about.

Glreno- They keep getting better. Enjoy the music

I'm using an Electrocompaniet AW120 right now. It sounds really good. I was always a tube guy, so I need that richness in the midrange, which EC stuff has. I almost bought the EVo, but was discouraged by a Talon / Bel Canto dealer who said that the EVo has the typical solid state thin midrange (by a tube lover's standards anyway). I might try a low watt SET. These things are very efficient. I use a PS Audio 600, and it hardly shows any current at all to drive these speakers. I hear that they are very good with SETs. Any experinece with that, Philefreak or Acuujim?
