Tom Danley’s new ‘Hyperion’

[Purité Audio]

These are just beta models, finish is industrial Iain says production models will be prettier!
They are adequate.

I'm always interested in offerings from Danley. While I see the pics of the RM28's above, all the other pics show as a little box with a ? within. What gives?

The dim lighting doesn't help. Maybe use a flash bulb to boost the contrast, perhaps?

 

[Purité Audio]

Sorry it is a bit gloomy here, just had to implement a couple of filters as bass is adequate!

Just a quick in room 1/6th smoothing there is no acoustic treatment in this room, 39.5Hz I brought down a bit plenty of output at 20Hz.

Looks like no sub needet.

 

[Purité Audio]

Nope, perhaps destructively you could use them, they are really good, it is hard to imagine anything more complete, imaging is pinpoint.
They do not sound like horns, they are as uncoloured as anything I have here.

That’s a beautiful in room FR. Looks a bit like the fantasy result Audyssey reports, except it’s for real.

Does the world need an M2/Hyperion shootout?

Does the world need an M2/Hyperion shootout?

I've heard both. I heard the Hyperion in a warehouse type room (nominal width, but deep and very tall) and the M2 in my living room. The M2 is awesome but there is no question in my mind: Hyperion.

Dual 15's in each cabinet. So, yes, these are legitimately full-range speakers.

I was joking a littel. But who knows maybe he would enjoy some 21 inch subs.

Gotcha.

 

[Purité Audio]

I really understand your enthusiasm for them now, I want to thank you for bringing them to our attention.
My wife isn’t going to be happy though!
Very Best,
Keith

 

[voodooless]

My wife isn’t going to be happy though!

How can she not? Explain how these take away the need for subs, or to ever buy another pair speaker again

 

[Purité Audio]

She is a woman…

[voodooless]

Tell her she’s being sexist

And if you would spray them....pink?

 

[Purité Audio]

Well she is home, I am still living here, she thought they were the ugliest yet and we have had some pretty ugly speakers here through the years, but she thought the sound was very good!
What they need is urban camouflage finishes, so they seemi go y disappear into the background until you walk into one.
Keith

 

[voodooless]

Well, she is right: they are ugly! Even the final models are not very pretty:

But I’m with @tomtoo on the pink paint job:
