Who hear the Hyperion at the CEs this year ?

Thank you for posting Albert. I was pretty sure the woofer compliment WAS different on the 938W over the 938 you played for us in NYC in May of 2004.

Albert, if you are following this post, does the new 938W replace the 938? If so, is the price the same? If not, what are the prices?

I went to a dealer to listen to a pair of seasoned 938 and came home well impressed; no wonder all the raves here by 938 owners.

The dealer said the retail for the 938 is $4500 but have to wait till late Feb for stocks. Well, that gives me time to get rid of my old Thiels!

I also enquired about the 938W and the retail price is $6000. The dealer said that the 938W is a seperate model in itself.

Albert's post begs the following question....

What were the decision drivers behind the HPS-938 changes? It doesn't sound to me like this is entirely different speaker model, but rather an upgrade that is being designated by the letter W.
