    B&W80x vs Usher 8871?

    Hallo,

    I have all B&W in my HT system (803D L/R, Htm2D center, 805S SR L/R, 750sub)

    Someone has never made a test towards Usher CP8571/8871?

    Your opinions of the loudspeakers Usher?
    waht for ampli with this speakers?

    To make a 2ch. system the Usher can be a good choice?

    thank's

    I heard Usher speakers at the 2008 CES show. I forget what model. They ranged from abotu $12,000 to $16,000. They were very nice speakers. My only issue was that they seemed bright.

    I much preferred my N801's that I had at the time. It may have been the equipment that they were using. I don't remember what they were using but a lot of speakers seemed too bright at CES.

    One speaker that really stood out was the Revel Saloon 2 being used by aan amplifier parts manufacturer. They were being driven by some inexpensive chip amps and not really set up that well. I think the source was a vintage (1980's) Luxman CD player. They were just so smooth and sweet. I was really impressed.

    You already have 803D's, why do you want something different for 2 channel?

        Hallo DM3000 Owner,

        yes the Usher are very BIG. that true.

        I think at a 2ch. system in another room... but I like the B&W very much...and the new Usher are expensive--> with the same money you can buy a 802D or so like that...

        The Dealer in Swiss it has said to me that speakers that they are already in warehouses in Swiss the delivery is in 3-4 days while for new orders it must wait for the goods from Taiwan! they do not come from USA!!

        Wow for 12500$ I think is better a B&W OR???
        ----------------
        For HT I have 803D,Htm2d, 805S and the sub b&s750: dn't pay make a new system only for 2channel??

          Well, here are my opinions on what I saw and heard at the CES this
          year.

          I'll start off with best 2 ch sound. I think it was a tie between
          Burmester and Alon. Burmester offer an incredibly musical system
          (that is also gorgeous). While some of the demos were dts cd's,...

          Review of my new 803Ds
          by bigburner
          Two weeks ago I became an 803D owner.

          I can only compare the new 803Ds to the CDM9NTs that they replaced as the combination of my listening room and my gear is one of a kind (as they all are).

          The tweeter in the 803D is a big improvement over the CDM9NT, which was too bright...

          Heard at the CES - SP Tech Revelation
          by oneoldude
          I have some interest in WaveGuide controlled dispersion for DIY so I did some searching for waveguide sounds at the CES and I found them. What I found was a serious WG product. It is the SP Tech flagship, The Revelation.

          This is an 8" MTM version. The Box is 12.5" wide and from...
