Usher 718BE or Dynaudio S1.4


As you can see by my threads recently, I am trying to secure my second system. I am a dynaudio freak, and everytime I look somewhere else I end up coming back to Dynaudio. I have heard and read reviews comparing the Usher 718BE to the C1's, but am scared I will be let down once again. There is not a dealer around here so I would have to buy on a whim. Any thoughts about this move? Thanks!

Dynaudio without question.

The BE-718 is a flawed and unnatural sounding speaker.
That's real interesting Doc and here's my response.

I had a customer bring his 718 here to compare with a competitive product i.e. same size, price, etc.

After an hour of listening he traded in the 718 for the other speaker. So I then had the 718 for a couple weeks for a full evaluation. My assessment as posted remains. As a side note I'm not real impressed with reviews, awards, and dealers' opinions who sell the speakers.

I assure you that after almost 50 years in this hobby/business my "accuity" is far more developed, honed, and sophisticated than let's say, you for example.

I do appreciate your efforts however.
