Who hear the Hyperion at the CEs this year ?

I heard them, expecting a lot from what were supposed to be $4500 giant killers. $4500 is not cheap, and I didn't think they sounded very good, even if they had been $2000 speakers.

What Hyperion model are you talking about? Obviously, not the Rockport Hyperions!

Fatparrot, it's Hyperion Audio HPS-938.
Honest1, I also felt the same. From the buzz on AgoN, I was expecting to wowed! However, there appeared to be an uneveness (imbalance) in the frequency response. The trebble seemed accentuated (a little bit honky & horn-y :-)). There was also a bit of suck-out in the midrange.
To be fair, the HPS-938 were fast and dynamic. Perhaps, the demo pair was not broken-in. I would like to listen to them again, but a broken-in pair.

Geez, catch-up Fatparrot! : )

From the looks of things at this year's CES, the Hyperion speaker shown by Albert Wu is VASTLY different in looks and drivers than the one I listened to and spoke so highly of in an earlier thread here.

The bass drivers shown at CES are different (different looking anyway) than the drivers in the piano black 938 that were playing in NY in May.
