| New rigg. B&W N804 The MastersounD Dueventi sounded superb with these speakers when I had them, but I'd advise against it if you have a large space. I really like this series on some more romantic tube amps. | |
| Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II and What Bookshelf Speakers Usher N-6300. The 7" woofer will throw some bass out in that rather large space and they will play well with the tone of the Rogue.I'm also going to throw out a dark horse - the Polk LSiM 703. These are easily found for less than half their $150... | |
| Krell Digital Vanguard or Parasound Halo integrated? Both are great units. I've sold several of the Halo Integrateds and the clients always enjoy them. The Krell I've heard and it is nice as well. I'm not sure you are going to find the answer you are looking for here as I think both units will ap... | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream JR I've very seldom found a DAC to be a solid stand-alone preamp. There might always be exceptions though. The biggest issues usually revolve around thinner presentations and a compressed soundstage in all directions. I consider a preamp function ... | |
| Krell Digital Vanguard or Parasound Halo integrated? Just so you are aware, the Halo Integrated has been discontinued. The new product is the HINT 6, an upgraded version of the original model. The price has also increased from $2,500 to $3,000. Some dealers may still have the original in stock, b... | |
| Is Usher still around Manufacturing started back up late last year and orders began shipping early this year. If Fred doesn't have any, I wouldn't expect any other place to have them. Since he is the distributor, he is the man to talk to to get one though it might ha... | |
| Is Usher still around Then don't listen to a pair of Rosso Fiorentino speakers. These are the next logical step for those looking for speakers beyond Usher. The Fiesole, Volterra, and Siena in particular really draw fans of the Diamond series in. | |
| Is Usher still around They don't. The diamonds are a massive upgrade. I took in a pair of Be-10 a few years ago from a client and replaced the tweeters immediately. | |
| Is Usher still around Even being a dealer for them I'm not sure I can sign up for that statement but I love the enthusiasm! They have always offered incredible value for the money. I've had the R1.5 and it's nice. I haven't had a chance to get the P-307a yet but hope I... | |
| Is Usher still around No problem! I hope you can find a pair. I was always curious how those two mated. It is one of the few Usher products I haven't heard. | |
| Is Usher still around The SW520 is no longer a current product so you will have to seek out a used pair. I only recall seeing one set for sale in the last 5-6 years so it will probably be a tough task unfortunately. I did confirm that the electronics are back in produc... | |
| Is Usher still around As I understand it production is just as it was. I'll verify for you though. | |
| Is Usher still around Correct. Katli Audio is the importer. I am a Dallas based dealer and there are around 15 or so more dealers around the States. Their diamond tweeters are special. Honestly, Usher is a big part of me becoming a dealer. They were the first company I... | |
| Is Usher still around Usher took a break from manufacturing a while ago but are now back in production. I believe they may have relocated their facilities. At any rate, new shipments hit the US earlier this year. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hello Craig,If you find pictures of my room at AXPONA this past year, you should see pictures of the speakers with spikes on the floor and then with the Star Sound Platforms underneath. The difference these made was substantial and made me an ins... |
