Getting the best from Usher Mini Dancer II's

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,

It seems to me these are compromised by trying to do too much.They go very low but you get a monotone sort of rubbery /boomy bass and the cone is moving so much to go low you also get some sort of cone break up or distortion before it crosses over to the tweeter.I have heard these improved by digitally cutting off the low bass below about 45hz .The bass is still far from being deft and textured but you do seem to get a smoother upper midrange.

Mine have the DMD tweeters.  

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:
