Speakers that sound like the Hyperion 938's

Several years ago at the Stereophile show in NYC I heard the Hyperion 938's and have not forgotten the sound: Transparent, 3-dimensional, coherent with amazing transient speed and excellent top-end, mid-range and bass. They were driven by a low-powered tube amp---I believe theirs. However, from what I've read, there might be customer service issues as well as the inability to source parts. As such, I'm looking for speakers that come as close to the sound of the Hyperions in the $2,500 - $3,000 range. My current system consist of Van Alstine and Odyssey electronics with Polk LSI15 speakers.

Thanks for your feedback.

I own the 938's and have had to deal with Hyperion cust service on a couple of occasions. FWIW I bought my speakers used, so the speakers were not under any warranty. The service may be a tad slow, but I can say that 1) As far as I know, they are still in business, and 2) I did get friendly, helpful email help from somebody named Derek, and ultimately all my issues were resolved.

They do still have replacement parts for the 938's as well.
