I got my own answer in the recent Review of the Hyperion HPS-938 on 6moons.com. Srajan went to compare the HPS-938's to the Ref3's (and inderectly to the Traingle XS and Avantgarde) in a very telling way.
Gallo Acoustics Reference III vs. Hyperion HPS-938
Has anyone had a chance to compare these two? A friend of mine is looking at new floorstanders and these are my recommendations because they seem to be comparable in the following areas:
-New technology that works
-Reasonable prices: Gallo's are $3,600 with BAM, Hyperion's are $4,000
-Relatively full range, especially the Gallo's with BAM producing low 22Hz-25Hz
-Relatively compact in size
-Relatively easy to drive
-Good to great workmanship
In the case of the Gallo's, there will be a matching center released in 2005 in case my friend decides to go 3.0 to 5.1 Multi-Channel in the future.
What are your thoughts? Thanks.
