Who hear the Hyperion at the CEs this year ?

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.

Joe, no, they look EXACTLY the same to me. I think the fact that they are in veneer as opposed to black lacquer really changes the look.

One of my big concerns with the speaker has always been the driver. This is probably why I know the drivers are the same as we saw last year - I REALLY focused on them. While the idea is certainly novel, I worry about buying this sort of technology from a company with their track record in terms of customer/dealer service. When the drivers need to be rebuilt down the road (and they ALL need this at some point), who will we turn to? Hopefully, Hyperion will be successful, and be around then.
