Usher 8571 DMD vs Be-10

I just bought a pair of 8571 DMDs and they've absolutely won over me. The speakers are full of detail, dynamics and sound extremely musical and engaging. I previously owned Magnepans and never thought anything could come close to their open and detailed sound but I think the Ushers match them in all aspects and exceed them on dynamics and bass.

This brings me to my problem - given the 8571s are excellent, after reading about the Be mid range I feel there is something even better out there - the BE-10s. For those who've heard both the speakers- are the BE-10s significantly different ( to justify the 60%+ increase in price)? Do they have the mid range attack like the 8571s do or are they more laid back and revealing in the mid range... any thoughts will be very appreciated..
Thanks

i have hear the 8571 side by side with BE-10 and i can say for sure that the 8571 is more soft-sweat less detail and less low bass, BE-10 is more natural and better soundstage and laid back

Saum, sorry to rock the boat, but you should give a listen to the Paradigm Signature 8s (v3). They have one of the best Be tweeters in the industry, are unbelievably well built and sound great. You should check out the reviews. I saw a Steven Stone speaker survey last October, where he listed the top 25 speakers on the market. Almost fell out of my chair. The Paradigns ranked #7. The cost differential is also shocking. Most of the comeptition is many mutliples in cost. Also, Marc Mickelson reviewed the S8s in May of 10 or 11. He couldn't stop raving about the S8s.

Just FWIW.
