@@vintageaudioreview btw, usher sells preamp(which I personally won't recommand), that's a part of reason why au8500 can use as direct in. And usher have power amp called R1.5, this series is bascially inspired from Pass labs amp.

There is an interesting YT video showing the construction of Usher speakers. Worth a look.

I never heard of the brand until I met a guy that had Usher loudspeakers in Tucson. They were very large and impressive looking. I bought tube amps from him and tried to get him to sell the Ushers too, but they weren’t for sale.

Thanks for the comment and I had not heard of Usher until about a year ago. THe owner of this has a pair of smaller Usher speakers and they sound ok. Did not know they made tube amps. I appreciate the comments!

@@vintageaudioreview My apologies. The tube amps were Cary audio, but he demoed them with his Usher speakers. Said he was selling because him and his wife were opening a nail salon. But he was keeping the speakers because he loved them so much. Thanks for your videos.
