Amphion Xenon & Usher CP-6381: Comments??

Hi All,

My search for midsize floorstanders has taken a number of unexpected turns. I am at a position to try out and purchase one of the 2 mentioned speakers (Amphion Xenon or Usher Audio CP-6381). Please, I must ask NOT to suggest other speakers as these two are is currently available to me, and within budget.

I am looking for any opinions and comments from those who either own or have heard either of these two speakers. s.

Thanks for any input!

Hi, I just posted some comments on another thread regarding the Usher sound, as I previously owned the 6381's. Do a quick search to see. Basically a very good sounding speaker, competitive with some at 2X their 3400. retail price. I have not heard the Xenon's :) Ken

I owned the VR2 previously...based on my experience with the 2, I was not interested in the 4jr. VSA is too forward a sound for my tastes. My 6381's were not in the least bit musshy in the bass.( proper placement is mandatory on the Ushers due to the rear port) I just found them a very well balanced and rather neutral sound, but not as warm or dynamic as my 801's with my equipment. Again I cannot comment on the Xenon speaker as I have not ever heard it.
