| Why so many used focals? I'll check but I think they're ported front and back. I couldn't pass on a pair of Usher BE-20 DMD Dancers that came up locally and am really having fun with them. It never ceases to amaze me how much impact a room can have on sound. I had a pair ... | |
| Used Market Savings vs. The Dealer Experience I was demoing hegel int's from my dealer and found a 9 month old unit for nearly 1/2 price online so I went back to the dealer and asked if I could pay for their time and effort since the online bargain was too good to pass on and the owner called... | |
| Why so many used focals? For the most part the conversation was helpful with only a few cheap shots. I have a room that made a pair of salon2's sound lean with 250 wpc so i'm opting for the kanta'3 with the bigger box and drivers, not for the deeper bass since most of wha... | |
| Full range tower speakers with bass under $10k The Usher BE-10 listed for $8800 would have some serious bass and they're pretty dynamic too. | |
| What is the best USED Speaker Under $10,000 I just grabbed a pair of Usher BE-20 DMD speakers that list for $18,000 new I got for less than 1/2 price in vgc. BIG. Love the look, 3 days into listening so to soon to judge, I'm enjoying how dynamic they play. | |
| Another Speaker Recommendation Request OP, We listen to a lot of the same music. I've been a quest for about 3 years starting with ancient recommended components gradually working my way up, staying in the used market so I can recover most of my investment when the speakers don't work ... | |
| Speakers that sound like Usher Be-20s/10s I don't use subs for stereo anymore. I tried in the past and never could get the sound musical, in fact all I did was inch speakers around without ever enjoying the music. I'll make it work with 2 speakers or sell the lot and buy a nice pair of cans! | |
| Speakers that sound like Usher Be-20s/10s These guys are huge, as big and fat as the salon 1. I don't have them on the plinths yet, that will be a task for tomorrow. My amp isn't warmed up yet but first impressions are positive. Not better or worse, encouraging. | |
| Speakers that sound like Usher Be-20s/10s Bump, happy New year all it's nearly 2019 and I'm about to grab a pair of usher be20 DMD for my 18+27+7 listening room please don't tell me the room is too small. , I've been dealing with a bass null that's leading me to the biggest boxes I can fi... | |
| Revel Salon 1 still worth it? Possible a small room? My piano black salon 1 speakers that I listed on every site I could find online were in pristine condition with an extra pair of speakers sold for $5700. summer 2018 | |
| Why so many used focals? 10:28am@kosst_amojan1 I listened to both the 926 and 936 and have photos from that session to remember what I did. My test CD was burnt with tracks ranging from Missa Papae Marcelli, through Jennifer Warnes, Adele, Bob Dylan, Kings of Leon, and ... | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) bo1972, as emotional as music and its reproduction is i'm sure it warrants all the type you've put into it, here's the thing tho'. NO WAY monitor audio is going to fit all that onto a brochure! seriously. nearfield listening can and will usually f... | |
| Best used speakers under $10000 It's interesting to me how the speakers I own tend to decide what music I listen to. I did go over budget buying the salon 2 in my quest for $10k speakers. I thought NYC apt's were the entire floor? The Kanta's have an immediate sound to them that... | |
| Why so many used focals? I heard the 1028 be 2 playing beautifully thru a bunch of dealers chosen tracks only to fall apart when I asked for some old supertramp. The Kanta’s didn’t lose their musicality under the same test. So are we dealing with a more forgiving tweeter?... | |
| Why so many used focals? I think they make some of the best looking speakers out there. |
