I have listened to the Hyperion KT88 SET amps.
To put it succintly, I simply loved these amplifiers with their speakers. Though, many prefer their solid state amps, in my opinion, the SET KT88 are easily my choice. Outside of the latter obviously bettering the tube amps in the areas of controlling the lower frequencies and delivering higher power, I found the tube amplifiers to be superior in all areas. They were simply more musical to my ears than the solid state amplifiers.
I have heard the Hyperion speakers with a wide range of amplifiers, from Hyperion and other companies. But, I have never heard them sound better than I heard them with their own tube amps.
At the $2700/pair that I was told, I believe they are an absolute steal.
