Usher Model Question

I was looking on Ushers site because I heard a while back that they were going to release a monitor in their Dancer series. I did find a monitor (CD777 ll). Upon further research I noticed that it must be the companies main site and not the U.S. site. Is this the new monitor, or is simply a model that never made it to the states and never will? I think it looks stunning, and if it sounds anywhere near as good as it looks....

I noticed on the U.S. site they had an announcement that they would be showing a new model from the Dancer series, the BE-718 at the Home Entertainment Show May 11th, in New York.

Any info on either of these products?

As the number one Usher master here is the complete skinny: the older CD 777 was too big and bulky a form factor to sell in the quantities necessary to import it.

The new 718BE is designed to offer alot of the same sound quality of the floorstanding 8571MK II for a very economical price of $2,500.00 a pair. This is half the price of a comparable JM Labs model, so I think the biggest problem Usher is going to have is building enough of these guys to meet demand!

We will be demonstrating the BE 10 with all Nuforce REV 2 products at the HE 2007 show, so for those wanting a bit more beryillium we will have them there. RM 1419.

Thanks for the info! Will this new model use beryillium for both tweeter and mid/bass driver? (I am assuming it to be a 2 way) $2,500 would be very attractive.

Are you affiliated with the company? I would love to give some of these models a test drive but I can't find a dealer anywhere near me.

>>As the number one Usher master here<<

How do you figure that? Self appointed I presume.

>>We will be demonstrating the BE 10<<

You are not an Usher employee. Knock off the selling here. It cost you the AMR line as you know.

AudioFeil,
Please do not take this as rude, but I asked two simple questions which were answered. Your post is in no way relevant to this topic. I did not ask for a comparison to other brands etc. Just wanted to know if anyone had any information in regards to these two specefic models, which Audiooracle did. I understand that you are trying to bring to light this gentlemans affiliation or lack of with Usher. I am assuming that if he is not an Usher employee that he carries their line, which makes him as qualified as any imo to comment on a new product introduction. I don't think that he tried to sell anything, simply gave some driver info and price. If you have a quam with him commenting on Usher save it for a post where someone asks an opinion of a speaker, not factual information. Again, I'm not trying to be hateful to you I just do not think that your comments were warranted.
