Replace my Usher be718 ?

My friend Bill has those and they have one of the smoothest midranges around, with fantastic bass and treble. I doubt you will find a better stand mount than those for $3k. I'd spend the money on upgrading to the diamond tweeters. Is there an area that you feel they are lacking that you want to improve...or just have upgrade fever? Which we all understand. :-)

Keslerd, We can't have it both ways. Those who want second hand speakers pressupose that sombody else want to get read of his. I am sure you will make sombody else happy with your Usher BE 718. I am happy with my BE-20 btw.

Regards,

I have owned the BE718 as well as the Dynaudio S1.4's. I am much happier with the Dynaudio speakers. To my ears the Ushers can be fatiguing after just a few hours of listening. The S1.4's have better detail than the Users but are never fatiguing. I feel the bass is a tad better on the Dynaudio's as well.

In the 3000 range you might find a set of Dynaudio C1s used those sound pretty good.

Maybe Merlin would work for you.
