I never heard those Talismans, but judging by the photos they are due for a foam surrounds replacement. If you go for the Ruarks, have this in mind.

I like the Missions.I remember coveting a pair a mate had many moons ago now, powered by a Nad Amp .I can't remember the models on either though.It was actually his set up that got me to buy seperates all those years ago.

I thought the Missions lacked bass , but can't decide whether that was the placement of the speakers and the fact they were running through an AV amp. Definitely in almost perfect condition pretty much new looking two very small marks on em is all . It's really thrown me ,my eyes say given the size and the fact there are two fairly large bass drivers in em the Missions should stomp out the base ,my ears said different .
I don't like this game . lol
