I'll be the last of the three mentioned by Slipknot. We found nothing as dynamic and captivating. We all had plenty of speakers already, otherwise I was ready to buy them. They will remain in my mind as the highlight of the show. I must add that as the only Von Schweikert owner of the group, that I too think these beat them, although I found the VR4jrs to be an very good speaker. They are a potential giant killer. We'll see if they spread Eastward. I'm waiting for more audio forum chatter about these and was genuinely surprised they weren't mentioned as a "new product to be reckoned with" by the reviews of the show in Stereophile. I'm also curious how they sound with your own electronics so please post a follow up- Thanks
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!
