We all seems to enjoy these historical insights, so here is more… In the year 2000 Rockport Technologies released the Hyperion loudspeaker system. The Hyperion was a three-way, five driver loudspeaker whose custom, Audiotechnology drive units and Dynaudio Esotar tweeter were arranged in a D’Appolito configuration in symmetrical carbon fiber composite baffles.
“Its sound was characterized by The Absolute Sound’s Jonathan Valin in this way: “…gorgeous tone color, tremendous dynamic ease and authority, natural instrumental size and scale, and superb treble and bass extension. You need a lot of room for these babies and a lot of money, but, if you have the space and the moolah, they will take you about as close as you can come to the absolute sound.””
