Talon Khorus question

Wow, Don your long essay really touched me. I mean it.
First of all, let me clarify myself. I was asking the question out of my curiosity. I am from Bangkok, Thailand, the land of SMILES. The first time I learned of the Talon was from STEREO TIMES raved review. I was very excited because the reviewer regarded the Talon as revolutionary and compared them with speakers several times their price. Later on, Soundstage also had another positive review, although not to the same degree as STEREO TIMES. However, I found there were some controversies regarding the technological breakthrough cited by Talon. Something about the super low distortion and super fast drivers I don't want to go into details. If you search the topic "Talon Khorus" from Audioasylum.com(speaker asylum) you may find a very long and tense discussions there.
I never heard the Talon because there is no such product in my country. However, upon looking from the ad in Audiogon during the past months I have been very curious. The asking prices were usually less than half the new(around 6000vs14000). If the reasons behind the sales were as per your saying, I would love to buy too and may be buy many for resales in my country.
So Don, I appreciate you considerable time in answering my question. I think I get a very good idea on how the Talon sounds. Maybe better than Stereo Times and Soundstage, even.
If in the future, I have a chance to purchase the Talon, I hope to share my experience with you again.
Happy listening.

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.

Gentlemen, many thanks for all the illuminating comments. I didn't expect such an overwhelming responses from my question. There is a strong possibility that I will take the plunge on the Talon soon. Right now in our country we have outstanding speakers on sales such as the Watt/puppies 6, the Amarti Homage, the Jm Lab Utopia and of course the Martin Logan Prodigy. Not to mention the Eidolon from Avalon, Revel Ultima Salon, even the Soundlab M1s. None of these speakers(except may be the M1s which I haven't heard) can top my Genesis2 which I have been acquiring for about five years. But that wouldn't be fair because the Genesis is in another price range altogether. I just have a feeling that if the Talon can be competitive in these group of speakers I mentioned above at the price I can find on the Audiogon, I may have a good opportunity to introduce them among my big group of audiophile friends.
By the way, if any of you guys, especially Don, have a chance to visit Thailand, you are very welcome to contact me at least for a big dinner and probably visiting my dedicated listening room.
All the best to you all.
