| Amp for Usher BE-20 ? big bump: Hegel h360 drives the big ushers loudly and smoothly. My room is 17x27x7' but you can tel when a speaker has enough power or when it's not giving it up and these speakers sound like they're holding nothing back. I've tried some 'hi end' ... | |
| Speaker Suggestions How big is the room? I have a beautiful pair of Vienna Acoustics Strauss in Rosewood that sound as good as they look, but have 11" side mounted woofers and can put too much bass in a small to medium room. USAM. Used Focal 936 more modern, less tra... | |
| Have you ever wondered why speaker manufactures do not consign speakers to dealers? Good topic. Congrats on the Kanta’s! I’m interested in the 3’s but, can’t justify the margin so will probably be waiting awhile for a used pair to come up. The thought of somebody waiting days, weeks, months? for a fat fish to get caught on his ho... | |
| What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker? this thread started in 2014! | |
| Is Usher still around Bump, I lucked onto a pair of Usher BE-20 DMD dancers this new year. I’ve spent the last 3-4 years assembling my system and these are the 6th pair of speakers I’ve bought! the good news is that I’m done. The review I did find online does an accura... | |
| Why so many used focals? The thread started when I started to research focal speakers from owners by checking forums and in comparison to other big players there wasn’t much activity . for example Dynaudio has 10,000 posts on a forum that focal has 1,000 then looking on t... | |
| Best used speakers under $10000 Your room will make a big difference in perceived bass. My room sounds lean so a rear ported speaker that I can move around for bass reinforcement offers the best balanced sound where if you have a bass heavy room a front, or bottom ported speaker... | |
| Borresen Acoustics Speakers - Have you heard them & what did you think? Next level in wayne. He said they had a power outage and his best guess would be 150 hrs. Curious or looking to purchase? Thanks for the compliments on my gear. | |
| Are dome midrange better than cone designs? Whats the sonic tradeoff for domes vs inverted domes? I had ADS speakers with dome mid and tweeter and they were bright! My last 2 speakers have inverted domes, cones without a dust cap I call them but the lack of glare would probably be due to be... | |
| Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar) I just chanced on a pair of Usher BE-20 dmd dancers and like old time missions they have a very high xover, around 3.5 khz that covers most if not all of the vocal range so 1 driver with no xover in the critical mid range makes for a very good mid... | |
| Best bookshelf speakers <$2000 How about the Usher BE- 718 used? Great speakers for the money. | |
| Best used integrated for under $5000 I bought the h360 and while at average listening levels I thought the hegels all had the sonic signature I could hear a little more refinement between the h160 to the h360 and then the h190, and if I didn't need the 250 wpc I might lean to the h19... | |
| Borresen Acoustics Speakers - Have you heard them & what did you think? I don't know what model other than they were floorstanding apparently full range 3 ways. I don't even recall if there were 3 or 4 drivers in the boxes, sorry. I have a pair of salon 2's being driven by a hegel h360 int. I was riding mu motorcycle ... | |
| Why so many used focals? The thread has been positive for the most part and my model works for me and has a pretty substantial downside as in I have to wait! Anybody who pays retail gets all the value that comes with it, something I sacrifice waiting for my price and ofte... | |
| Why so many used focals? Like I said, sometimes it takes awhile. I demo’d a pair of speakers from tweeter years ago and told the dealer I loved them and when he could find 30% off the list price to call me, they were the VA beethovens and it took about 4 or 5 months but h... |
