Emerald Physics C2 or Usher BE-718

Although i own a pair of Be-718's, i have heard a lot about the Emerald Physics speakers. Has anyone heard both speakers? How does their sound differ and what are their strengths and weaknesses? Would it be a worthy upgrade? Or are the Usher speakers excellent in their own right and not worth the loss of selling and buying? Thanks!

Indiesound, you're comparing a small stand mount speaker (Be-718) that goes down to 42 hz to a full range floor standing speaker (CS-2). These speakers could not be more different. But better? You'd need to hear them. The Usher only going down to about 42Hz cannot do the full range sound of the CS-2.

Different...but definitely NOT sideways.

The Emerald Physics CS2 were very hot mid-2008 to the end of the year. Over
the past few months several proponents have sold theirs.

It'd be enlightening to know why.

I agree with the others who have stated the comparison between BE-718 and
CS2 is apples to oranges due to the different frequency responses of these
two speakers (among other differences).

That's a good question Tvad.

I was wondering that myself.
