Tom Danley’s new ‘Hyperion’

[Purité Audio]

I am going to keep my powder dry for the new D&D , the 8C only took thirteen years I should still be alive, profoundly deaf perhaps but alive.

Well it looks as if the Danley HRE1 ( the speaker formerly known as Hyperion) has changed a little.

HRE1 | 4,400-watt 4-way Powered Studio Monitor - Danley Sound Labs

The Synergy Horn Technology, patented by Tom Danley, sets the HRE speaker apart, enabling it to produce a hyper-realistic sound that faithfully reproduces the original audio without any alteration. This unique driver configuration combines multiple sound sources into a single wavefront...

Drivers on the front now , not sure it is an improvement though.
I would still like a pair here even though I know it would be highly unlikely that I ever sell a pair and it would definitely end in divorce.
ILE3 too

I see that HRE1 is about 40k a pair street price.
Not bad given the fact that one can reproduce a thunder with its clarity too.

I echo your sentiment, very curious about the larger D&Ds. Some months ago Martijn told me later this year for release, we shall see! But I do hope they are less costly than the Danleys!

 

[Purité Audio]

We can buy one each.

Deal!

I am thinking natural/black baffle do you have any preference?

A little too industrial looking for the home.

Natural/black in my home right now just waiting to be set-up.

@Purité Audio if you can sell them, more power to you. It's not for me, or even the rich folk I know. Maybe the 8c.

 

[Purité Audio]

D&D are all about sound quality Ron, they are not rich people’s conversation pieces, plenty of manufacturers do that.
Keith

 

[MKR]

I do agree they are ugly, but in the end as I have a dedicated sound room, no WAF to worry about. For me, priority is performance, looks secondary … of course best if I can get both

 

[Purité Audio]

Ugly how very dare you sir!
I find this ugly,

LOL … I agree that photo is ugly. And to be clear, was calling the Danleys ugly, not D&D (or Sigberg) which I believe look decent. Not typical HEA jewelry, but good enough. again, looks are secondary for me anyway. You should know that given the looks of the Soundfield “Frankenspeakers” … ugly as heck, but the sound, ah the sound, superb. Of course if I go the Soundfield route, any final system that AJ will design for me will also have some “jewelry” looks. You can have your cake and eat it.

Sure … we gonna have shared custody of the stereo pair? May have to involve an attorney

I agree. D&D are obtainable by a much wider range of people than something for $40k.

Maybe you can Frankendanley the two: take the lower part of the ILE3 and put the upper bit of the HRE1 on top of it

Hah! ... Reminds me of the robot maid from "The Jetsons"

Well, you can get PA SPL volume levels for much less in a coaxial configuration:

*Off-axis won't be as uniform as the Danley's synergy horn -- judging just from the physical design, I believe -- but it's still quite good.


Danley seriously just needs to up their photo editing skills.

But that's not a high-frequency horn

I'm talking about that tiny horn on the coaxial. That's just no good for pattern control, and it shows in the off-axis measurements.

With class D amplification being so cheap, hearing loss isn't nearly the barrier it once was
