Hopefully Talon will flourish under the umbrella of Rives Audio. Richard is a great guy and Talon has always made very good products.

Those speakers are very nice. I wonder how much they cost.

Some of the models certainly aren't inexpensive - these speakers are targeted towards more high-end listeners. They do, however seem to have a robust line to meet several price points.

It will be exciting to see what happens.

I believe they range in price from ~$6k up to ~$50k depending on model and finish.

I'm sure you will. I don't think we'll do their mack daddy systems (not practical to our readers) but we should definitely do some reviews...

Well then, my bubble just popped.

I've seen one set of measurements for a Talon speaker and it was pretty bad.

Just what went wrong with them was a subject of much discussion. Why should I think their current line of speakers is any better?

Those graphs are ugly, I would like to listen to them just to see how they sound.
