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!

Yes, I was also there with Slipknot1 and Mechans. The Hyperion room was the first we visited, and it spoiled us for the rest of the day. These speakers were THE biggest surprise of the day, and outclassed a lot of more (MUCH more) expensive competition.

Like Joe said, we returned three times. We just could not belive the sound coming from them. We came thisssssss close to going home with three pairs. The speaker was lively, engaging, with very good bass. In the past week, I have been thinking they may have even sounded a whole lot better with electronics other than their own. It's really had me wondering.

Among the best of show, and I liked them better than the Von Schweikert VR4Jr.
