I listened to many speakers before i bought these.
They have something magical.
I heard JM Reynaud emeraude to this week and they sounded very clear and realistic but with a bit to much emphasis on the mid/highs for my liking.
I loved the relaxed and natural sound of Dynaudio and Spendor to but for me the Hyperions had all i wanted in a speaker.
A very good mid/low and a nice easy listenable high... and lots of musicality!
They are good at anything you throw at them from what i heard.
I heard them with my amp in a room that was about the same size as mine.
But i don't have them at my home yet, i will next week.

Here is a link from Audiogon when i searched for some speakers earlier next week.

Dracule1 recommended me to use sorbathane feet under the midrange/tweeter module.
I was going to buy vibrapods http://www.vibrapod.com/ from the same seller when i auditioned the Hyperions but he had only 6 in stock.
What do you guys use? Any brand that is recommended?

I just ordered 8 of those larger brightstar isonodes.

In the following 6 moons review of the 968 model... http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/hyperion5/968.html
There are a lot of pictures that shows the back is tilted a bit higher and i see hard steel feet like i have seen under the woofer cabinet, only they are smaller i think for the mid/high module.
The 938's that i auditioned and bought don't have those feet.
I don't even know that the 938 ever came included with these steel feet.
The back of the mid/high module is propably tilted for better focus to the listening place when your sitting low and relaxed in the sofa.
Anyone experimented with tilting the module at the back?
If so, i'm trying to think of a solution of doing so with the sorbathane feet and something else maybe.
I'm not sure if this issue has allready been posted, but any recommendations? Or is it just right when the mid/high module is flat?
