I was at AA this afternoon and they were testing the Usher to its fullest and it can really sing. It can challenge speakers double its price. It would be nice if we can have a shootout of entry level speakers. Anyone interested?

can the 13K ushers be used as surround speakers for a HT set-up ? or is it not a good idea ?

thanks

Of course you can you use it even sorround back of 7.1 set-up as long as it can match your front speakers or if vise versa try to use USHER as your front.

Anybody hears the 6 series speakers? I'm referring to CP-6311 floorstander? the price is approx. 60% higher than X-719 but for me twice the difference in Quality audio reproduction! Try to side audition it the time you auditioned X-719 or the 13K speaker.

mk · « **Reply #67 on:** Aug 16, 2004 at 12:52 PM »

The CP-6311 floor stander for my own taste is very engaging, detailed and very sweet that you can hear on the 100K plus speakers. At first I have my eyes on the X-719 but after hearing this gordeous floor stander, I said to my self be patient and stretch it to this baby, yah baby yah!

The Center speaker of Usher "X-717 yata" is also wowowow! You can actually use this as fronts sa lakas, match na match

Just my 2 cents...

John,

Bago yan ha?

Nasa site na ba yan?

mk: its under the dancer series

mk · « **Reply #71 on:** Aug 16, 2004 at 01:09 PM »

Ah yes, this is the wired looking bookshelf but I know this is not cheap?

But for sure the reproduction of sound coming from this baby will justify that. Dna kaya ng budget ko yan, pang CP-6311 lng kaya natin hehehehe...

I think dancer series is the most expensive Usher speaker series, if i'm not mistaken is this the model that looks like center speakers? (Concave) A two way 3 speakers system? This is bigger than X-719 in actual hehehe

The cp-777 features the famous d'Appolito configuration (woofer - tweeter - woofer). Then time-aligned ala jm-labs. Parang quarter moon ang itsura then patulis yung likod nya.

mga sir,

did you try to audition the usheraudio in solid state amp? most of your comments kasi is more on tube amp and what av receiver did you audition the center speaker, baka kasi calibrated yung av receiver, baka mag iba ang response pag sa factory settings ng av receiver or vise versa?

the usher is a beautifully balanced speaker so you wouldnt have to worry paring it with either solid state or tubes...it has a silk dome tweeter so avr's will still sound nice with em... of course if you ask me id use pushpull tubes on them.. if i have the money.. hahaha

The Usher Center "X-616" model when I heard, is driven by HK330 avr. they set it to large due to the size of this speaker.

A little backgrounder on X-719:

Usher Audio Technology Compass X-719 loudspeaker
Robert Reina, May, 2004

...The Compass X-719 was jointly designed by Dr. Joseph D'Appolito (of the eponymous midrange-tweeter-midrange driver array, now chief engineer at Snell Acoustics) and Usher's Tsai Lien-Shui, and is manufactured in Usher's factory in Taipei.

Both the X-719's drive-units are sourced from Taiwan. The 1" tweeter uses a silk diaphragm, with a moderate-viscosity magnetic fluid used in the voice-coil gap to dissipate heat and improve mechanical linearity. Usher claims that the tweeter is capable of reaching much lower in frequency than typical tweeters. The X-719 therefore features a lower crossover point than usual, 2kHz, which relieves the bass/midrange unit of the need to reproduce higher frequencies, which Usher claims results in superior definition. The crossover is a fourth-order acoustic design. The cast-aluminum-framed 7" woofer uses a paper cone filled with carbon fiber to increase stiffness and to damp resonances. Reflex loading is provided by a 2"-diameter port on the cabinet rear. The woofer motor has a T-shaped pole-piece with a copper sleeve and shorting ring, and provides for a peak-peak "throw" of 12mm.

The biwirable X-719's substantial cabinet has thick walls of MDF and interlocking internal braces. Actually, "substantial" is an understatement. At 37 lbs each, the not unusually large X-719 is by far the heaviest bookshelf speaker I've ever reviewed—and by far the most attractive. The cabinets have rounded edges, and my review samples were finished in an attractive black-gloss, automotive-like lacquer, with elegantly finished side panels of dark, real wood.

To ensure consistency with my continuing series of reviews of budget speakers, I set the X-719s on my trusty Celestion Si stands, declining Usher's offer to supply their own $400/pair stands. After seeing a photo of Usher's RSW708 stand, however, I regretted my decision—when coupled with the X-719, the stand's combination of wood uprights and stone base makes a striking visual statement.

Me nakasubok na kaya sa SET nito?

Sir Levi,

I've heard u're planning to try it daw, natuloy ba

levi · « **Reply #89 on:** Aug 19, 2004 at 07:37 PM »

The SET amp is not yet with me. Maybe end of the month pa but the SET is not for the Usher. I think mahirapan na SET with the Usher but I will try it out. Im using the ST70 for the Usher but Im upgrading to a higher wattage PP amp.
