Has anyone heard the Usher Audio Speakers


I have read great things about these speakers on several different sites. They seem to have caught the attention of the press at CES this year? Has anyone heard them and if so with what equipment?

I would first like to say that I have a pair of 8871's (usher's flagship) up for sale. My pair is in birch, and I am selling them only so I can get another pair in rosewood. I have had many speakers in house over the years and I like the Usher's the best. They are supremely coherent, cast a huge stage, image like crazy, and have the dynamic capabilities that mimic the real thing. Plus, they are the most aesthetically gorgeous speakers I have ever owned. I do agree that they need some juice to work, but I have run mine on a 100wpc amp and it works great. You dont need HUGE muscle amps.
Fernel, interesting comments. Just goes to show how different people can have different opinions. I wouldnt trade my Ushers for a Sonus Faber Amati Homage and 5k! The Usher's are more beautiful (to my eye) and they sound MUCH better. To each his own I guess.
