Usher DMD tweeter upgrade: worth it?

Bump. Anybody?

Yes, it is worth it. i have done it on my BE-20.

Absolutely not...Far too bright and harsh. But Usher didn't have much of a choice in replacing the Be Driver...The truth that came to light about Usher's Beryllium...or more appropriately, the "lack of" Beryllium in their tweeters forced the company to bring out the DMD Tweeter...not only did Usher need to introduce a new tweeter but they wanted to eliminate every, in essence, fake Beryllium driver out there, and to do so, Usher came up with its "Upgrade Program" in which, Usher will replace your BE tweeter with the DMD...but you pay $800.00US to $1000.00US, depending where in the world you are being screwed and who specifically is screwing you. In Taiwan, you get the same DMD tweeters for $199.00US...a pair.

Continue...But I'm sure that the US distributor will come up with some fairy A$$ story to try to convince you that his DMD tweeters are the "US Version" which has been baptized by his bodily fluids to provide better sound performance. Or he may just get JPS Labs to replace the original speaker terminal contacts on the DMD tweeters and magically call it a "US Version" and charge you 5 times more than it's worth. After all...that's exactly what he did with the Usher BE-718's...he bought them from Usher in Taiwan...oops, no longer in Taiwan, Usher in China, without Usher's own in house crossover, he got GPS Labs to furnish the crossover and by doing so, the US Distributor for Usher Audio can now call it the "US Version" and a "superior product"...really? And people fall for that crap. If you're sensing that I have a personal issue with this company, I certainly do so we can get that question out of the way. It's not worth the upgrade to the DMD and there are other companies that conduct themselves with more integrity and produce better quality products.
