| Usher CP-8571 II - Long term opinions? Kenreau, if you crave for some resolving and detailed speakers, check out Dali Euphonia line. These have absolutely crazy resolution. Off the scale! They do need careful matching of components AND cables. Or else they can drive you out of the room... | |
| Usher CP-8571 II - Long term opinions? On my short list Dynaudio S5.4, Aerial Model 9. But Kenreau, I encourage you to listen to the Ushers for yourself. Please do not take my or anyone else's opinion to heart. You need to audition the speakers. May be this will be the sound you are lo... | |
| Usher CP-8571 II - Long term opinions? Hi FrankTo give them benefit of the doubt, they were not hooked up to anything i was familair with. They ran with Bryston amp and JRD Capri preamp with Bryston CDP. Each one of us I guess is after a particular type of sound. If this is the sound y... | |
| Lack in harmonic richness Chris, I have read several of your posts. Do you have any acoustic treatment in your room?I think you should go and audition as many different speakers as you can until you find the speakers you like. I think finding the right speakers will be the... | |
| Usher CP-8571 II - Long term opinions? I do not own these speakers, but I just heard them yesterday. To me they had light bass and very prominent treble. They are not forgiving of less than perfect recording. Very big cabinets and poorly utilized cabinet real estate, with only one woof... | |
| Speakers: $3,000-$4,000 on Audiogon I am also looking at a speaker upgrade from B&W N803. I have basically narrowed it down to Dynaudio S5.4, Wilson Sophia and possibly Aerial Model 9. I haven't heard the Aerial 9s, but like the way they look and intend to listen to them if ther... | |
| Classe vs mcintosh I use Pass Labs X250.5 with my N803 and love it. Totally awesome! I have heard MC402 with 803S and 252. Pretty good, but I like the Pass better. Before I bought the Pass I have considered MC402. Pass is more involving with the B&Ws and it seem... | |
| Digital Purchase Advice . . .DAC or New Player I am curious to know which less expensive units(cd players or DACs) can better the DAC3. Could you please name a few? And if they better the DAC3, in what particular area(s)? Thanks | |
| Digital Purchase Advice . . .DAC or New Player I use Bel Canto DAC3 and it is very good. It also has its own preamp section with a nice volume control.You will get more flexibility if you go the DAC route. You can have more than one digital source with a DAC3, i.e laptop, Squeezebox, transport... | |
| Harmonic Tech Pro AC-11 vs Acoustic Zen Tsunami Thanks for the update. Enjoy! | |
| Time to change. But to what? yep. I think so. S5.4 should be just right! | |
| Time to change. But to what? Hi Keith,I pretty much decided it will either be the S5.4 or the Sophia. C2 are great but I doubt they will have the bass I want. BTW, review of C4 in Stereophile indicates the bass to be too much of a good thing, to the point it is hard to get ri... | |
| Time to change. But to what? Keith, I see. Thanks. As I said, I do realize the bass goes deeper than specs(same as with my B&Ws, which reproduce 28hz test tone but specified as 42hz low, they gently roll off the bass), but still, a mini monitor is what it is. Doubt it com... | |
| Time to change. But to what? Hi Keithit isn't clear from your post which speaker was better sonically in your system, the C4 or the Sophia. Aesthetix aside. Also, C2 is almost full range. Low frequency is specified at 28hz. That's deep. C1 goes down to 45hz. Not even reaching... | |
| Time to change. But to what? I think the VK250 with BAT Pack will be a tight competition for the X250.5, but because the speakers are so revealing, I am sure we'll easily be able to pick out any differences between the 2 amplifiers.It should be fun! |
