anyone heard the usher 6 series speakers?

I have the 6371's and I absolutley love them.

From a build quality standpoint, Ive yet to see a speaker that can better them. They are beyond beautiful.

The sound is warm and clear. Bass is a little light, Ive heard the 81's are much better. Light though it may be, it is still crisp and precise.

These are keepers in my book, especially considering the price break.

North American and Euro Hi-Fi manufacturers better take heed, The Chinese market is coming on hard.

Bartokfan, of course you realize that statement is a huge blanket that you just threw over the entire audio world. Wether or not a speakers sound is pleasing to the ear is so subjective.

Even if you were correct, the price break is so extreme between the two markets that the difference in price is getting harder and harder to explain considering performance.

Semi,

I just spoke with an importer of Usher and he told me that yes, Usher claims to be made in Taiwan but are actually made in China. He claims that in an attempt to keep their price point higher, they base their company in Taiwan but are actually built and assembled in China.

Dont know if its true but this guy is involved heavily in the Asian market.
