Anyone have any experience w/ Usher AC-10's?...


I'm going to demo these speakers within the next week and was wondering if any has anyone on Audiogon has experience or comments regarding Usher speakers, in particular the AC-10? These speakers use Accuton ceramic drivers. Any comments on these drivers would be appreciated as well. Ushers are manufactured in Taiwan.... hmmmmmmmm!

I haven't heard the AC-10 yet, but they look really sharp. I'm also going to be listening to some Von Schweikerts including the 5's. Here is a look at the AC-10's. http://www.usheraudio.com/speaker-ac10.html

Thanks,

Since I posted this I've read some interesting things about Usher and in particular the AC-10. I've read several testimonials from owners who do not think highly of the crossovers Usher uses in the AC-10, in fact they were referred to as "crap". One owner took his Usher's (can't remember the model number) to a local "speaker guy" who rebuilt the crossovers using different parts. In this particular case the owner thought they were incredible once they got "fixed". I'd hate to shell out several grand for speakers and then send them off to someone to upgrade the speaker - especially when you consider the shipping costs on these very heavy speakers.

Along with Von Schweikerts and Usher's I'll also be checking out some Audes models. Should make for an interesting morning. I'll post my thoughts on Monday.
