Talon Audio


I saw these speakers for sale on Audiogon, so I tried to get some background from their site (very nice BTW). The info seemed interesting enough for me to take a trip to my closest dealer. I was not prepared for what I heard. These speakers were unbelievably fast, detailed, coherent, dynamic, with a "life" to the music that I had never heard before outside of a live performance. These my friends, are the real McCoy's. I would like to hear anyone else's thoughts who may have heard these speakers.

OK, the drivers. They used custom designed drivers which include a 10" treated paper composite woofer, and a compound tweeter which consists of a 1.5" treated cloth dome to a 1" supertweeter. The midrange dome, on the upper part of it's range, is allowed to roll off naturally...w/o the use of low-pass passive elements. This occurs at 13 KHz, where the supertweeter is crossed in with the necessary crossover elements. So this compound tweeter extends from 2KHz-35KHz. I believe the crossover is a first order type. But please try not to break this speaker down to drivers and crossovers, because while they are impressive, this speaker truly sounded much greater than the sum of it's parts. Why dont you call Talon for more info?
