Amplifiers for Talon Hawk monitors

Dgob,

I would try to audition a Halcro MC20. It has the lowest noise floor of any amp I have ever heard. It's very dynamic and has loads of power. It took about 6 weeks to burn in, but now it sounds very very good. (it was thin at first, not very enjoyable, I almost sent it back). I have three other audiophile friends that felt the same way at first, but now all three of us are very impressed with this amp.

I can't comment about it being paired with any totem speakers but I did hear it with Merlins, James, Intuitive Design and NHT and it drove them all with out a sweat.

You should try a Nuforce amp, a 9SE for exemple.

Dgob,

Sorry, I meant Talons, not Totems

Dear All,

A somewhat belated "thank you" for your informed suggestions and kind help. I've now auditioned fairly widely and will stick to the 23.5, until I find something that works better (for my hearing and expectations). Any additional suggestions will therefore still be appreciated.

I heard the Talon Thunderhawks matched with VAC gear at ces and it was nothing short of stunning.
