Just wondering.  They have 1st-order crossovers so they could be.  Not touted to be, of course.

Anybody else think Hyperion would look a lot more professional if their website had any real detail to it?  Details of speaker design (other than the small blurbs about their drivers), goals, etc?  This stuff must exist - they designed the speakers, right?  Why isn't it on the website?  Look at the sites of other companies that are passionate about their speakers in comparison - Thiel, Green Mountain, Wilson, etc., etc.  I'm not bashing them, I'm trying to help.

I agree with your comments about more information/technical information being available on Hyperion web site,I for one would find it most interesting and I think many others would.Also agree it would give Hyperion a more "proffesional" image which they surely merit.

Yes, the 968 should be time and phase coherent as much as you can do with a 1st order cross over.   English is their second language so lack of technical info may be partly related to that.  It still a new company so they still need time to evolve.

Just ordered one pair of 968 and also a pair of HT88, i will compare them with my 938 and Nuforce Ref9SE.

You ordered the 968s unheard?  Seems that way from your post.  If so - wow - that's ballsy! 

One Hyperion dealer whom I shall not name told me that he thought the 968s were "not much better" than the 938s.

In any case, despite the 1st-order crossovers, it seems that t&p coherence is *not* a design goal of Hyperion.  Or, if it is, they hide it well.  They don't tout it.  Which would be *very* odd, as, if you're doing it, it's quite silly not to tout it - it's very rare in the industry and no small feat.

I am a dealer so yes i ordered without listening, i trust ppl at Hyperion, listened to a lot of their products and was never disapointed.
I use the 938 in my personal system and i will test the 968 there.

Regarding dealers,

Any dealers who want to post in this forum, please explicitly state who you are.  It is my fault for not posting my original welcome thread as a sticky.  I explicitly stated that dealers need to state their identity (ie, that you are a dealer and not a private owner).  This oversight has been corrected.  Ndeslions, I know you did not deliberately hide that you are a dealer - like I said it's my fault.   Your experience with the 968 is still very welcome.

Well i understand even if my posts here are not directly related to my business.

I do not agree.
The 938 are already great but the 968 is definitely better to my ears.
Try to audition the 968
