Yeah they are Chinese but I have heard them when they first came out and was extremely impressed.
From the pics it looks like the Usher 718 A's use the 8945P driver whereas the be-718's use the 8945A- I could be wrongComment

I have built Roman's microbes and a sub so far. Are there any documented designs available? I'm not ready to try designing... -
I have been lurking on this site for a few months while I have been building an amplifier. Now that my amplifier is almost done I think that it is about time to start thinking about building a pair of speakers. I have a fairly large room (about 8000 cubic feet) and like to listen to music (classical... -
I've had my eye on the Usher 8137a driver for a while now, but haven't seen it used much. Talk about low distortion...

Since the 8137a compares favorably versus even the 8945P (a driver which Zaph recently measured with similar... -
A gallery for anyone interested. Check out the whole gallery. The in-wall uses the Peerless 810921 and Usher 8945P. The IB drivers are DIYCable.com DPL-15. Panasonic AE4000U projector.
