You need to hear these folks. They're the real deal.

 

[Elberoth]

They certainly look amazing.

They certainly look amazing.

The strange thing is that imho they sound better than they look....and you can see what they look like.

Elberoth, they certainly look amazing in real life too. Great, to me, industrial design; different but not outlandish and functional even if the stringed grilles take their inspiration from somewhere else. Build quality is good too, and not just for the price. Amazing first product.

I have only had a quick listen to them though. They had a sense of liveliness and immediacy that reminded me of horns but more coherent. Not surprising, given that the owner of the company likes and distributes horns.

I would be keen though to hear Hyperion's thoughts on how they compare to the Wilson Benesch ACT One Evolution and Verity Audio Parsifal Anniversary, even if at different price points. It is unlikely that I will be able to hear all 3 under one roof so... TIA

I don't know about the name Ubig. It sounds a bit nasty.

 

[nicoludio]

Its a play on UBIQuitous, I believe. If it looks and sounds good...

That's bizarre then. Try again.

Mike, in my original post the pic disappeared, but in the last few posts it is there on my screen???

I only see one pic from the post a day ago. The other option is to upload them to an online photo storage place and post the IMG link.

Mike, I can see it in post #6 and #9, so that's fine to leave it like that as long as it stays in those posts, if not they can see Hyperion's pics. Thank you!!!

Mike, I just uploaded the pic to Dropbox, but I can't edit the original post to insert it.

Just post it here...and I will fix.

A different perspective with the grill covers off, but strings on, exposing the 8" midrange and 12" woofer.
