Usher CP-8871 MK II... what kind of sound?

I've never heard them but given some have come up at a good price in the right color used, they may be worth a look.

What is their sound similiar to? Focal Electra? Rockport? B&W?

Id be matching it with Linn Klimax electronics...

Just wanting to see if its worth my time listening to them with my gear..

Thanks

I have Usher X 718 and like them very much. Smooth detailed sound, great looks and great value. I have had good results from NAD and Musical Fidelity amps. I would bet they sound better with better electronics.

Thank you guys

Ill schedule a listen to this pair, I think perhaps just taking my cables and my amplifiers is enough for an initial listen...

My amplifiers supply 500watts @ 4ohms and 270 @ 8 so that should be plenty of power

I have a pair of 8571s (MK2 upgraded to DMD) and they are absolutely fantastic no matter what kind of music is thrown at them. Superb resolution, excellent dynamics ( i really wanted a speaker that could could make me jump out and they do that and then some). I think Usher is one of the most badly marketed companies around and their products do deserve a lot more attention then they get.
