I've own the Khorus for over 5 months. They replaced the so called Sterephile Speaker of the Year, Eggleston Andras. As soon as I uncarted them and listened to my reference recordings, I knew I made the right choice. Don's discription of the speaker is right on. When I replaced my Bel Canto Evo with the Aloia Inductive amp/preamp, I really got to hear the bass speed, extension, and depth these speakers are really capable of. In addition, the midrange body/image bloom was enhanced significantly - they are sensitive to system components and set-up. Audio Tekne cables work well with these speakers also. To really make them sing I'm told that the Sistrum Platform works better than the Orchard Bay (on order, I have the polished Aluminum spikes). Why are people selling? One guy who has an axe to grind starts saying they lack this or that. People with lots of money to burn listen to this garbage and go off thinking they are going to upgrade their speakers when they really should spend the time optimizing their set-up or auditioning electronics that fit their tastes better. SACD audio and Talon are matched well. BTW - I don't work for Talon. I'm an engineer for Motorola.
