The R2.5 is worth around the same as a much older Threshold S300 that it was copied after. The pre about the same if it's a copy also of a Threshold pre.

The usher preamp is not a processor. For $2,000 CAD that is a LOT of bang for your buck. The preamp is still a current model that sells for over $2,000 US.

I don’t know what retail was on these. Pre/Pro items depreciate like crazy, the amp has a scratch on the face, not that many were sold so they were not very popular. So I would not pay more than that.

so you think $2000.00 CAD is over priced then?
