Getting the best from Usher Mini Dancer II's

Hoping some in the A'gon community can help with ideas and suggestions. I recently got a pair of used Usher Mini Dancer II's, but have been underwhelmed by their performance. I'm using a Yamaha AV receiver, which of course is the issue, and wanted to hear what amps match well with these speakers.

I have an older NAD amp sitting around that I'm going to try, but figured I'd ping the community to see if anyone has had success in a good matching amp for these speakers.

Thanks much!

When I first received a pair of review sample Usher Mini Dancer Two DMD speakers, I thought they sounded nice, but too bright.  However, I was assured by the US distributor that they would sound significantly better after 200 hours burn-in.  Suffice it to say, he was absolutely correct.

I achieved excellent results with the PS Audio BHK Signature Preamplifier, the Gudebrod Audio 3T12V Preamp, and now the PrimaLuna Prologue 3 preamplifier -- all linked up with the Odyssey Stereo Khartago Extreme SE amplifier (the PrimaLuna is now an integral part of my system).  

I will be putting out a formal review of the Usher Mini Dancer Two DMD speakers in the next week or so at http://www.prairieaudiomancave.com/ .

Cheers,

Here are my reviews of the PS Audio BHK Signature preamplifier and the Gudebrod Audio 3T12V preamplifier, both performed with the Usher Mini Dancer Two DMD speakers:
