You are very welcome roma. Sorry for the late response. The Ushers really do sound nice. I know the importer Atul (another McKinsey guy but don't hold that against him.Originally Posted by Artisan Fan
AF - Have you listened or compared the Von Schweikert VR-1 to the Usher?Originally Posted by jakejake
I bought a pair of Triangle Heliades and they remind me of impolite step brothers of De Vore Gibbons. But for the price of 699.00 I can live with them for a while.Originally Posted by Pezzaturra
I like the Triangle speaker line. Some of the higher end ones are really terrific.Originally Posted by Artisan Fan
The best finishes in the biz. By far. $$$$$Originally Posted by audiophilia
I know they don't get a lot of love from audiophiles but I just picked up a pair of Paradigm Signature S2. Sound is very, very good and look fantastic in birdseye maple. Maybe not quite as furniture-like as SF but damn close, with a slightly curved cabinet and excellent wood finishing. I didn't listen to the bigger models but I did see them and they are equally good-looking. And, at least for the S2, they are blowing out the v.2 for about 1/2 price.Originally Posted by deaddog
For sure, but the cheaper models I find way too soft edged and monochrome, at least the ones I heard a couple of years ago.Originally Posted by audiophilia

Could you elaborate a little : What do you mean by soft edged: soft in treble, tube-like?Originally Posted by Pezzaturra
Like many hobbies from clothing to shoes to home theater, there is a certain established language that helps describe sound quality differences. While obscure on first read this language is often very valuable in coveying differences.Originally Posted by Artisan Fan
Thank you for that clarification. Does it mean you speak "audiophile" and could trasnslate for me what he ment?Originally Posted by Pezzaturra
Monochrome is not a common code word but I would guess it was a little sterile sounding which means not rich in tone or warm or particularly musical...prolly a poor midrange.Originally Posted by Artisan Fan
