Damn, Hyperion is on a murder spree. Not only are their speakers blowing up across the industry, but Srajan of 6Moons has this to say of their $2800/pr Ht-88 tube monoblock amps:

"Plainly put, they're silly good for the money asked."

And then he throws a Blue Moon Award their way. You know, Blue Moon = Oscar. The Hyperion Ht-88s crank out 18 watts, which, as Srajan finds, likes to be taxed by modestly efficient speakers. Hyperion is just crazy like that, I guess.

Hyperion also makes the BEC-P25 and P25T pre-amps (T=tubed) and BEC-Mono 100 watt monoblocks (pics of both on next page). And, of course, check out the review for all the dirt, lots of comparisons and the best photo shoot in the biz.
