Speakers that sound like Usher Be-20s/10s

Haven't heard the Ushers you mention. But I can say that Salon 2s are far from non-dynamic, especially if you pair them with fast, high-current amplifiers that can keep up with them. Their soundstaging is also excellent and they have a large sweet spot.

At dealers they are often paired with amps from Harman stablemate Levinson. That pairing sounds great on acoustic or small combo material, but IMO is not as well suited for "big" music like orchestral works or rock with large dynamic swings.

"The sound was too forward and flat due to the non musical PLINIUS system."

You do realize that the Plinius amps you say you heard provide peak current of 50 amps (as opposed to the Music Culture's 20 amps)?

By "flat" I thought you meant non-dynamic. Do you mean something else?

I found the Plinius SB-301 I had in my system to have reasonable control along with good macro-dynamics. And it was a bass monster - low but tight. Where it fell a little short compared to better - and usually quite a bit more expensive - amps was in micro-dynamics and a bit of a rolled-off top end. But it will drive just about any load and holds its own in its price range.

"Rare are amplifiers with articulate dynamics that show how every instrument has his own life. I really think is the heart of a great Hifi system."

If by "articulate dynamics" you mean micro-dynamics then we agree that is very important.

"- SYMPHONIC LINE (German) : expensive but very good"

Indeed. Look at my system page. :)
