Integrated amp for Usher Be-718?

Well I have an STI-500 breaking in now in my home.
Arrived today.

Initial impressions are very positive.
(including - perhaps I no longer need a sub to complement my Silverline 17.5's? :-)

I'll be evaluating in absolute terms.

But then I'll also need to decide, in a month or two, whether to keep the W4S, or my Cary SLI-80, or both.

ps: They really seemed to lock in when I switched to Cardas Golden Ref interconnect. Perhaps synergy with CGR is the ticket here?

I know. Patience!

I finally settled with Jeff Rowland Concerto Integrated, Audioquest Sky 1m 72VDBS, Audioquest Volcano 72VDBS, Audioquest NRG-5, Weiss DAC2, Fisch Audiotechnik AC passive filter, Aavik rack with Nordost Pulsar Points. I couldn't be any happier. Maybe it's just my taste but I recommend to anybody else with Be-718 looking for an amp to at least make an audition with the JR.

not knowing much about the Ushers, I would nonetheless second the wyred4sound integrated as a recommendation - great value, great sound
