Hi everyone! I'll upload photos soon, but I wanted to get the thread started ASAP. I have a beautiful pair of Hyperion 938's that I have to sale.

I recently acquired these from the original owner, then a month later was offered a pair of 968's and decided to make the change. It's a long story, but basically I thought I missed out on the 968's so I bought these 938's, but then the 968's came through... You know how it is. I personally prefer the 968's, but:

a) they both sound great, but I feel the 968's work better in my listening space, and
b) I paid almost twice as much for the 968s! I doubt that you'll find a better speaker at this price.

I live in Riverdale, which is the north-west Bronx here in NYC. I'd prefer a local sale, but I do have the original shipping containers and bags. Shipping will add about another $200 to the price tag depending how far away you live. I'd be more than happy to drive an hour or so out of the city to meet you and make the swap.

They're in perfect working order, and cosmetically they're at about 99% perfect. One of the corners of a bass box has a tiny ding from having them shipped to me. You'd have to get down on your hands and knees to look for it, though.

I'll throw in my collection of 12 Isonodes , which I was experimenting with. It was suggested to me to place them between the top and bottom cabinets to improve the midrange clarity, which did indeed seem to help.

If I didn't come across a nice deal on the 968's, I would have been completely content living out my days with these speakers. I wish I had the room to hold onto them!

I'm asking $2595 o.b.o. which I what I just paid for them. No reasonable offer will be denied- I would prefer a fast sale.

I'll try to post some photos soon. Thanks for looking!

Okay, I'm going to lower the price to help with the sale (I hope!). Did I mention how great these speakers are? They'll be the last set of speakers you'll ever need to buy!

New Price- $2450

I'll give it another week for my fellow Audiocircle fans before I place them on Audiogon...

Weekend bump. I've been lazy about advertising these... I'll give them a few more days here, then I'm going to post the on Audiogon I guess.

Bassphil

Well, they've been so close to being sold a few times now, but no deal. It's been a learning process, literally. I've learned that my friend who owns a shipping company can ship these on a palate for me!

The last quote I got was about $166 to go from NYC to Missouri, which is a good price for four boxes that are pretty darn heavy!

I'm posting them to Audiogon on Saturday, so chime in if you want the special Audiocircle price of $2100 + shipping!

Bassphil

Well, since Audiogon just decided to relaunch their fancy new website without testing it first, I'm going to keep these speakers listed here for a little while longer...  :o

So, I need to have $2000 in my pocket for these. If you want to pick them up, that would be fine. I'll also drive up to 50 miles to meet someone halfway. Also, like I mentioned above, I have a friend who owns a shipping company and can get good rates!

p.s. I'll also throw in a copy of my newest CD :-)
