B&W 804s vs Usher Dance Mini-One

Hello Forum,

I currently own a like new pair of B&W 804s speakers. I am considering selling these speakers (approx 3k) and purchasing the Usher Dancer Mini-One or BE718. I think I can get the Ushers (used on Audiogon) plus an integrated amp (used around $1500) with HT bypass. I know I'll have to add some cash to get both. I've heard the Ushers and really enjoyed the sound, but I don't want to have any regrets on selling the B&W. The speakers would live in a small (11x12) room with only about 5ft. from the listening chair.

Anybody have opinions. For the Integrated amp, I'm considering Vincent, Creek, Bel Canto.

I am astounded at the knowledge on this forum and would really appreciate any feedback.

I would keep the B&Ws and save up for a big speaker upgrade. The Ushers will be different but not worth all the trouble IMO.

You can get used Sophias for $6000, I have seen used dynaudio C2 go for as cheap as $5200....

Then there are the big hitters for price for performance PSB,Thiel,Gallo,Magnepan... maybe usher too. The list goes on and on
