Due to its proximity to the Sun, the Hyades serves the critical role of luminosity calibration of all cluster main sequences, and hence is one of the lower rungs in the cosmic distance ladder. We attempt here to use the enhanced capabilities of speckle interferometry, in comparison with classical techniques, to add to the list of binary and multiple stars in the Hyades. New systems will not only eventually help to improve our knowledge of the cluster distance, but they will also help further our understanding of the formation and evolution of binary and multiple stars in the cluster environment.
