Upon listening, David stated "it is remarkably seamless from bottom to top, and there's no sense of any of its multiple drive units competing with one another."
Talking about how open the sound is, he said “you find yourself listening to music in a different way than you would with lesser loudspeakers”, adding "there is so much information being presented in front of you that it becomes a choice of what you choose to take in."
"If this doesn't put Monitor Audio firmly on the super-fi map, then I am not sure what will". Receiving the StereoNET Applause Award, David concluded with "The Hyphn is a bold and innovative product that doesn't really sound like anything else on the market."
