| Best new loudspeaker Yep, goatwuss, I think you have nailed it. Even if I were in the market for new speakers, I would pass on such shady doings as this. And I still have a hard time understanding a speaker with 4 dissimilar drivers operating with one xover point. I'm... | |

| Best new loudspeaker Audiophile1958,You mean to say 2 midrange drivers(different drivers at that), a tweeter, and a sub bass driver all have ONE crossover point?Shakey | |

| YOUR Favorite Bookshelf/Monitor below $500 The Usher S-520 is indeed special at it's price point. A used pair of GMA Europas would be extremely hard to beat and often surface on the 'Gon for around 500.00.Shakey | |

| Size matters...need smaller speakers I had the Tiny Dancer in for a weekend audition. It will play like a much bigger speaker than it is, and the bass will surprise you. However, it sounded rather mechanical and the midrange wasn't nearly as palpable as that of the GMA Callistos. I'd... | |
| Von Schweikert VR4-JR Since you say that ALL the tweeters exhibit this, I don't think it's a driver issue. Sounds more like it's a problem with the recordings. I would listen to the same material on a completely different system and see if it is still audible. | |
| Von Schweikert VR4-JR If you are hearing it from ALL the tweeters, I doubt very seriously it is a driver problem. It is most likely a product of whatever recording you are listening to at the time, combined with the level you are listening at. And you may just be more ... | |
