“Exceptionally endearing and involving ... If I were in the market for a stand mount these would be my first choice...”

The CP-6381 by John E. Johnson of Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity
“In sum, the CP-6381’s strong points are neutral, timbre, clarity and tight bass. They’re incredible!”

“It’s simply too good to be ignored. The Usher Be-10 represents a rare convergence of sensuous form, no-compromise engineering, and transcendent sound quality. Bravo!”

Philip Beaudette, GoodSound.com
“Usher Audio's X-718 is a marvelous loudspeaker that anybody looking for a beautiful model needs to hear...It’s the best speaker I’ve ever owned or reviewed.“

“Usher’s S-520 is one the best-kept secrets in the audio/home-theater marketplace; this speaker offers tons of performance at a more than fair price.”
