Hyperion HPS-938 speakers


Has anyone had any experience with the Hyperion HPS-938? Seem to be having a problem with them being bright in the top end, lean in the mids, and light on the base. In all the reviews I have read never any talk of these problems. I have Arcam gear and Nordost cables. Have had them for quite some time. Any thoughts??

Mrjstark,
Still looing into this setup. It looks like in HT pass through coming from the processor through to the stereo preamp a pair in a pair out, not two pair out to the amp. It appears that in pass through mode it will only pass a single pair through. Will I have to use a (I'm using balanced) splitter at the amp to get the full four channels for the biamp? If so, does the splitter effect the sound if using high quality cables??

Thanks,

David
Hi Dave,
Are you sure that only one set of pre-outs is active in HT mode? I have not tried this feature yet but I would think that both pre-out sets are active......I could be wrong though.
If in fact that is the case there is always another way.

If you are thinking to use a switcher , call Lloyd Peppard of Mapletree Audio to design one for you. It should not cost you more then $200 (I think it is called LR Pro switcher). He lives in Canada and you can contact him by calling him: tel - 613 387 3830 or

You can also call Walter of Underwood to assist you in custom build preamp or call Gary of Dodd directly.

Another way would be to look for true balance preamp that would do the trick.......but to get that kind of quality it will cost an arm and a leg.

If balance is what you must use then go for quality switcher or balance preamp. However I would contact few people first to see if some design changes are possible to fit your needs.

Mariusz,It was a hard decision, looked at the Dodd and the Mac C-2200 and had to go with the Mac.  The Dodd was a close second.  Just think I will get a great match out of the Mac with my Mac MC-207. It should be here on Monday. Can't wait to get in in an run in. Will keep you up to date once I get it all together.

Thanks,

David
