What do guys think of the Hyperion HPS-938?

Did anyone get a chance to hear these amazing speakers at the NY Hifi show in April? I was so smitten by the sound eminating from these elegant speakers I bought them right then and there! I thought these were the best sound of the show. I'm a planar guy owning Maggies and Apogees in the past. I also love the sound of stats but could never live their lack of macrodynamics and punch. The transparency of the Hyps are as equal and to some respects better than the planars I have owned. I never thought this was possible from dynamic speakers, no matter the cost. And they were dynamic as hell and most of all MUSICAL. I just melted in the sound. I came back to the same room 5 times during day to make sure I believed what I was hearing. Can't wait to try it out in my system!

Myself and two other 'Goners (Trelja and Mechans) heard these speakers in NY and were VERY impressed.

We returned 3 times to make sure our ears were not playing tricks on us. At 4000 MSRP, these represent an incredible bargain. We are thinking about investing in them ourselves. I have not yet made the jump as I'm not sure I want to replace my beloved Magnepan 3.6R.

I do think that these loudspeakers do a lot of things right and their fit and finish is spectacular.
