I'd recommend the Goldmund Stellavox PW-1 monoblocks, 200wpc. Or perhaps the Sim W-5 stereo or W-6 monoblocks. I've not known the Pass amps to be a good match for Talon. (IMHO). Not familiar with the Spectron.
Talon speakers and Spectron amps?
I am running a pair of Talon Audio Hawks with a Pass Aleph 3 amp and Wadia 830. All the components are great, but the Talons seem to want something a bit fatter sounding than the Wadia. I've been considering the usual suspects, Electrocompaniet, Audiomeca, Resolution,GNSC, etc, but would also like to upgrade my amplifier (Atma-sphere springs to mind). Couple this with the need for a pre-amp for some of the top choices, concern over new formats, and I'm stuck in indecision. I recently read a bit about the Spectron Musician amplifiers, and am wondering if one of these with it's digital direct input might solve everything. How would people charactrerize their sound? Are they at all on the warm side? Anyone know if they're a good match for Talon speakers?
Is anyone else out there using the Talon Hawks? If so, what are you using with them?
