Usher Tiny Dancer 2 - opinion

Hmmm. I'm not sure if I want to go the monitor route. I mean, I might as well keep my de Capo's if that's the case.

Any other opinions? What about Dalis or Audiokinesis?

The mini dancer 2's blow away the mani 2's. I have owned multiple pairs of the totem mani 2's along with their model 1's, arro, and others. I sold all my totems and converted over to all usher speakers, I currently have the newer mini dancer 2's with the DMD tweeters. These tweeters blow away the tweeter in the mani's. The bass is also better than the mini's when properly setup and much easier to drive. The md2 had quite a bit bass boom until they were setup correctly. With the required break in period and the right setup (I also use tube amp), they sound very nice.

Rb - thanks for the information. I'm about to install beryllium tweeters onto my de Capo monitors so I won't be in the market for new speakers for a while. However, when I do, info like yours still points me to Ushers!

I own the Di Capo I's . I auditioned these against an Usher
standmount and floorstander , VS VR4jr. & VR1 and the Di Capo's . This was done with a SS CJ pre and amp and also with a Cary Sli80 . As I said , I own the Di Capo i's !
The Ushers and VS couldn't be more different in their presentation . The Ushers were "in your face" and , as mentioned above , not blended evenly between the bass , mid and treble .
It was like the Ushers were too much , the VS were not enough and the Di Capo's were just right !
Don't sell the Di Capo's until you can compare the others in your system .

Change in my reply. It should have said: "the bass in the md2 is also better than the mani's when properly setup and much easier to drive"
