To a
background of controversy swirling about
the Internet, Talon Audio showed
their wares at the St. Tropez. Note the
reference Talon Khoruses
($14,000) and Roc subwoofers
($4,000) in a maple finish. Electronics
featured all Jeff Rowland and Theta
Digital, cabling by way of Kimber
Select. This was without question a
most visually attractive room, with its
walls hung with huge photos of the great
outdoors. Unfortunately, the sound was
less than good. Because I chose this
speaker as my new reference, I really
wanted to see it shine. Moral: how
difficult it is to achieve a
satisfactory result in a poor acoustic
setting in less than one week.
