Hey Mike, just interested why you liked the Edge, Sim, EMC combo the best? I bet it is incredible. BTW, echoing earlier posts, your input (dealer or not) is always most appreciated, and I would also add that as a dealer, your previous responses to my threads have always been at the forefront of business ethics-- E-mailing me personally, and not posting, for example, to avoid appearances of impropriety, etc. Thanks for all of your great insights.

...Sorry to ask the question inside this discussion but I'd also like to hear openions on how Khorus or Khorus X sounds on different loudness levels. What is the best loudness level for Khorus? How these speakers sound in low volume levels?

Mike- Prior to forming Talon, Mr.Budge sold a two Khorus
using Focal drivers. About the same shape, different cabinet materials. Mine are finished in Koa.

Why would a an owner of a $14K Khorus w/X crossovers "upgrade" to the $7K Ravens?

Aloha.

Kana813...Ahhh, understood. I always forget that Tierry was doing loudspeaker design long before Talon existed.

To answer your second question...The original Khorus w/X crossover upgrade is NOT the equal of the Khorus X. There are more changes to the Khorus X from the original Khorus than just the crossover. With that said, the Raven (at least to my ears) is a better speaker than the original Khrous w/X crossover upgrade.
