Unique craftsmanship meets high-end audio: Joep Slooten hosts listening sessions for Hyperion custom speakers featuring KS Audio technology.
“Sign up for an extraordinary listening experience you won’t soon forget on July 19 or August 2 – complete with great coffee and lunch,” reads the intriguing first line of the announcement for upcoming listening days hosted by Dutch Joep Slooten. The announcement continues: “What do you get when you combine top-tier German sound with Dutch woodworking craftsmanship? Furniture maker Joep Slooten unveils his latest project: fully custom-made active speakers, the Hyperion iP 3.5, developed in close collaboration with the renowned KS Audio.”
“Many audio brands pour money into marketing,” Joep says. “I’d rather invest in materials and craftsmanship. That way, the customer gets better value for money.”
KS Audio – known for installations in prestigious venues like the Semperoper in Dresden – provided all audio hardware and technical support. Joep took care of the cabinetry: solid walnut front panels, bookmatched to perfection for a refined aesthetic. Each pair is handmade and completely unique. The speakers are built to order and tailored to the customer’s specifications, including wood type, dimensions, and finish. “For those looking for more than just standard speaker boxes – for a true sonic and visual statement – this is a unique opportunity to experience them,” Joep Slooten adds.
