For the record Ernied44 is the national distributor for Usher USA despite the absence of a disclosure which is unprofessional and unethical to begin.
Now, in the summer of 2007 I auditioned a pair of BE-10 in anticipation of taking on the Usher line. I listened for 3 days using a pair of Atma-Sphere MA-1 and a Pass X350.5 and found the speakers intolerable. Soon thereafter I asked to return the speakers telling the distributor I could not in good conscience sell a product I wouldnt myself own.
The product IMO is extremely low value vis a vis other speakers at their price point but most of all lacking in tonal purity and balance.
Needless to say Usher and I parted ways but not in the way our friend suggests. I was never turned down. I can document this with emails and other paperwork.
Later that year I took a pair of BE-718 in on trade and couldnt move them for almost a month. It gave me plenty of time to evaluate them with basically the same results as the larger model. Chalk on a chalkboard IMO.
I would caution every potential buyer of Usher speakers to make sure you listen in your room with your equipment. Even then theres a good chance you will be as disappointed as me.
