I have the Hyperion 938 for a few years, and had tried a few others speakers but decided to keep the Hyperion for now.
When I was looking to fix my room acoustic, I bought the DSPeaker anti-mode 2.0 dual core to try out. In my case it certainly helps to cure the bass boom. The DSPeaker can serve as a preamp and DAC as well. Imaging and sound stage also noticeably improved ( clearer, wider and deeper). You may want to look into it. Again, it all depends on your room acoustic problem.
I also tried out the Nordost Heimdall interconnect to compare with my Acoustic zen silver. Nordost has more distinct instrument placements but probably not as " organic" as the AZ. They are both excellent cables for my system.

Kijanki,

I agree synergy is the key to great music reproduction. Also it really depends on your preference. I have heard many speakers (Proac, Merlin, B&W Nautilus,Von Schweikert, Wilson) in various systems and I found the imaging and resolution is up with the best out there. In my system with tube amps, it sounds fantastic. One thing I noticed is the deep sound stage, it is almost always in the back of the speaker (more laid back), regardless of amp or CD player I used. Wonder you noticed the same.

After talking with Robert Lee in Acoustic Zen, I decide to order the Satori shotgun with the jumper cable. Will see how it turns out.

Kijanki,

Since you are a Hyperion 938 owner, I like to ask your experiences in cables. Here is my current set up.
Speaker: Hyperion 938
Amplifier: Sonic Frontiers Power 2 (GL re-issue KT-88)
Pre-Amp: Sonic Frontiers SLF-2 (Amperex 6DJ8)
CDP: Marantz 8001 (Considering a Raysonic CD 168)
Speaker Cable: Gregg Reality shotgun (Considering AZ Satori SG)
IC - Acoustic Zen Matrix II and DCCA
I found the Hyperion is very detail and revealing with pin-point imaging. Sound stage is wide and deep, and is more lay back rather than up front. Would like more mid-range presence and warmth. Any recommendations about cable or should I move to a tube based CDP like Raysonic?
