Usher Audio - Reviews and Awards

S-520 gets the Playback Recommended 2008 Award! 

"Can you tell I like these speakers? ... The build quality is without equal, the component quality rivals (and bests) speakers much more expensive, and the sound is phenomenal. As far as I'm concerned, these are THE budget bookshelf speakers to beat."  

S-520 won the first prize among the 7 different branded bookshelf speakers in UK's professional stereo magazine, Hi-Fi World 

Test Review From Hi Fi World 

"The S-520 gave a very tactile and articulate sound" 

"The Usher S-520 is an excellent value with many strengths…" 

"This is a lot of speaker for the money." 

"The relationship of retail price to build quality…defies logic." 

"The drop-dead gorgeous X-719 is a welcome addition to the American marketplace." 

"If you are in the market for an affordable stand-mounted speaker, I think the Ushers are well worth listening to." 

"At only $1000 per pair, it's one of the best values I've heard and seen." 

"I never expected such performance from a $1040 pair of speakers. ... It's not hard to see what makes this speaker special and easy to recommend. Its build quality, which is outstanding for the price, is on a par with its sound. ... There's no question that the V-602 from Usher Audio Technology is one of those loudspeakers that can be considered something of a steal." 

"The price/performance ratio of the new Usher V-series speakers seems off the charts" 

"These loudspeakers are really outstanding." 

"The build quality and high degree of fit and finish of the CP-6381s is downright incomprehensible for the money asked." 

"Unequalled in looks, construction and sound quality at this price point." 

"Awesome fit and finish, excellent musical performance and a real-world price..." 

"Ultimate sound quality experience at an affordable price." 

"Great sound, awesome build-quality, terrific value."

John Potis, 6moons Review “Exceptionally endearing and involving ... If I were in the market for a stand mount these would be my first choice...” 

John Atkinson, Stereophile Online “This is a speaker that deserves review coverage in Stereophile...” 

Jacob Heilbrunn, TAS Reviewer “The Usher Be-718s punched way above their weight... How on earth they could fill up a large room with that much sound remains a mystery to me. The crescendos reached true fortissimo levels.”  

“The Be-10's character—and yes, every speaker has one—is of extraordinary resolution of detail, but at the same time, the sound is very relaxed and gentle. Nothing is forced, but somehow the Be-10 reveals secrets. ... A rare convergence of sensuous form, no-compromise engineering, and transcendent sound quality. Bravo!” 

"Usher's Dancer offers serious sonic excellence and tremendous value." 

"Sounds so good that it easily competes with…speakers selling for thousands more…" 

"The relationship of retail price to build quality…defies logic." 

"Every year I marvel at their demo and this year was no different." 

"Every year I marvel at their demo and this year was no different." 

 

"This is one very highly recommended contender."
