There are times in a man's life when he does something that let's him know that he has reached the climax of his career. When I inserted the devestatingly beautiful Talon Audio Peregrine X speakers into my system, I knew that all the years I had spent working for a paycheck had finally paid off for me. High-end audio has always produced products that deliver pleasing sound. But this system not only rewards me with hauntingly realistic sound, it also is breathtaking to look at. My girlfriend even apprecates it's beauty enough to declare that promises not to place any plants on top of the speakers. The speakers have such speed and accuracy that you rarely need to play them loud to here any deep bass. Bass presence is full and articulate. Voices are moist and breathy and the soundstage is deep and wide. The Electrocompaniet pair work together to give the system the muscle and life that effortlessly fills my room even at low volumes. I've been an audiophile for fifteen years and I have never been this happy. I can't wait to buy more music!
