| US connectors with 220/240v yes you can.I am on assignment here in Singapore where British style 220V is the standard. many dealers here changed their outlet to US style 110V receptacle and use US style 110V power cords because US style plug has more "bite" and sounds better... | |

| Usher owners who chose 6 series over be series? what a surprise to see AudioFeil International bashing Usher again.BE-718 does not fatigue if you mate them with right upstream components. Just to prove my point, you do see people selling dark sounding speakers within 6 months or less of ownersh... | |
| sweet, euphonic, reasonably powerful tube amp? Funny that you asked about 75 vs. 75SE. I started out with BAT 150, I liked the sound but it sure wasn't head and shoulder above say ARC VT-100 II/III or SF Power 2 or 2SE which I have all heard in the same system for an extended period of time. A... | |
| sweet, euphonic, reasonably powerful tube amp? Give BAT 75SE a try. It's not tubey, euphonic, nor romantic, but it does sound more musical and purer than ARC VT-100 III which I owned for a very brief period and quickly sold after comparing to my BAT 75SE. Could be a good match to your BAT 31 | |
| Mbl Magic? Maybe I am on the only one on the planet who is not crazy about MBL?I took on an assignment in Singapore 2 years ago and have listened to MBL 116 & 101E several times since I was seriously considering 116 back when Euro was weaker. I do like t... | |
| Your last speaker? I admit I will never stop looking or changing even though I own a pretty nice system. I do tend to own more than 1 pair of speakers that sound different enough so I can switch back and forth when I get bored with one. problem is my amp choice is d... | |
| Sonus Extrema: Amplifier and room size As a former Extrema owner for almost 3 years, I will say you need a lot more than what EAR can pump out to drive the Extrema. I have tried several amps, my favorite back then was McCormack DNA-2. Pass X350, Rowland 8Ti HC, and numerous others just... | |

| Just purchased Usher Be-718. Need Help with Setup whatever stand you end up getting, I suggest getting a tall stand. I am using one of the Usher adjustable stand with my BE-718, I wish it could go up higher but now it's only about 24" tall. I tend to like my sound stage on the higher plane which ... | |

| Usher BE-10/20, what do you use to drive them? Currently I own a few amps, BAT 75SE (soon to be 150SE), Edge G8+, and Forte 4A. I think Edge is probably the best amp to drive the Usher or I can sell them and get Parasound JC-1 for about the same money but I don't care for Parasound's apperance... | |
| Usher BE-10/20, what do you use to drive them? So I gathered some muscles are needed to move those big Eton woofers, not a surprise. My little BE-718 is very power hungry too, but they do so wonderful with Plinius 9200.Reason I am seeking for amp advice, Usher BE-10/20 are more analytical than... |
