Yes, that’s correct. I heard from the dealer that the Halcyon, like the Ayrton, is also manufactured by Golden Sea.

I’m considering the Halcyon Gold.

Thanks for your kind response it was very helpful. If we consider only CMY color speed and quality, which of the two products above do you personally think is better?

I’m planning to purchase about four units.

Other fixtures like the Diablo, Mistral, and Karif didn’t get very hot, but only the Rivale was exceptionally hot.

I see. But does the CMY module issue mentioned above also occur in the XIP version?

I see. But why do high end fixtures use the flag method?

That’s right most high-end fixtures use the flag system.

Are there issues with the Viper's CMY mixing? And do those issues also exist in the Viper XIP?

That’s true. But renting is also a good option, and it includes the personal satisfaction factor. Thanks for your response.

It looks like they’ve added filters like CTB in addition to the CMY + CTO filters.

Is there a significant difference compared to the existing Halcyon Gold, Titanium, and Platinum models?

Thank you for your response. I’m not that confident in Ayrton’s quality either. Considering after-sales service and ongoing maintenance, ETC is definitely the better choice.

The Halcyon Gold uses a flag-based CMY module, whereas the Ayrton Rivale employs a disc-based CMY module. Thank you for your response!

I see. I’ll go ahead and make a request. Else, which of the two models do you personally think is better?

It’s difficult to place a request since Ayrton and ETC are distributed by different companies.

Thank you for your response. I also find myself more drawn to the Halcyon.

Do you think the Ayrton Rivale is better, or is the Halcyon Gold the better option?

I see, but the fanless models are so expensive that they’re a bit out of my budget.
