Hyperion 938 question

You're room size is slightly bigger than mine and the YBA should have no problem driving the 938s to ear bleeding levels. I love the YBAs, one of the finest SS amps IMO, but too expensive for me. Actually, your room may be slightly overdamped, but it may be easier to start off with an overdamped room and start subtracting until you get the desired sound. Just remember to give the 939s at least 2 feet from the side walls and 3 feet from the rear. You should not have honk as I have never experienced this with the 938s. As for bloat, it's very much function of your room. There's lots of affordable ways to really fine tune the 938s. Some of the tweaks can be surprising and makes you wonder why didn't Hyperion didn't think of it. But first get the general setup correctly. I should start a Hyperion owners group on audiocircle.com.

Dracule, let's do that - we can all then enjoy cheap tweaks to get the best out of our 938s!

Roy, it's good to hear from you. I'll check out AC and see what's needed to start an owners group.

I heard the 938s at this years NYC show and loved them, they were using their own(Hyperion) mono ss amps

I agree Jalanc. The 938s did sound good but it could have sounded much better. At 2004 NYC show, it sounded remarkable and based on that show I bought them last year. Now I've started 938 owners group to get us happy campers together to share info on how to improve the sound of these speakers to their fullest.
