Talon Khorus question

Rich, that's a sensible approach and it seems to be working very well for JRDG. Thanks for clarifying. Suchart, I'm surprised there are so many exceptional speakers available over there. The shipping cost and mark-up must be staggering! If/when I get the chance to visit Thailand, I'm going to hold you to your generous offer. And if you ever get a chance to visit Wyoming, USA, I'll extend the same to you. Don

It would be my real pleasure to welcome you, Don. I can imagine we would have a lot of a good and long conversation together. And many thanks for your kind offer too.

Don--Thanks again. Yours is the only review I've found that compares the Khorus' with electrostats. Very interesting. To answer your question, the only two cables I've tried are Harmonic Technology Truth Link XLR's and Pro-Silway Mk II XLR's. The Truth Link's sound rich and warm, but the highs were rolled off, and overall, it made the speakers somehow sound like they needed further breaking-in. Switching to the Pro-Silway Mk II's opened things up and added increased detail and sparkle to the high frequencies. The warmth disappeared, but the music sounds very natural and open. I'm also using HT's Pro-9 Plus speaker cables. BTW, I visited Talon's factory last year when I happened to be in Salt Lake City on a trip, and they said that Harmonic Technology and Anaylsis Plus are two cables that they recommend. They also are developing their own line of cables with Shunyata (sp? ). Haven't heard any of their stuff, though.

Don & others, are you using silver cables? I've got Talon's Khite and ROC and I'm going to replace my cables now and have had some folks recommend all silver ICs, everything to get all the detail to the speakers. THoughts?

Excellent idea Kevin. I used an Audio Magic Clairvoyant, {silver ribbon} power cord on my souce component while driving the Khorus's and it worked wonders, rendering tighter image focus, rock solid bass and terrific extension up top. Definitely, I'd recommend others try some top quality silver cables, like SilverSmith, and Audio Magic with the Talons and report their findings.
