anyone heard the usher 6 series speakers?

Nm512,

Usher is a Taiwanese company, not Chinese. Just want to be politically correct.

Fact is that the Danes (Denmark) ESPECIALLY Seas' makes the world's best drivers, best speakers. China/Taiwan, nor any other country can touch them. Never will. But will agree the Chinese amps/cdp's will make the europeans and US manufactures scream in pain at their drop in sales. There is a certain china lab that I'm thinking of in particular. Won't name.

Bartokfan, of course you realize that statement is a huge blanket that you just threw over the entire audio world. Wether or not a speakers sound is pleasing to the ear is so subjective.

Even if you were correct, the price break is so extreme between the two markets that the difference in price is getting harder and harder to explain considering performance.

Sounds like proof by assertion, Bartokfan, although I'll grant you Seas makes pretty good stuff. Ever heard of Audio Technology? Probably not, as they do custom work among other things.

Semi,

I just spoke with an importer of Usher and he told me that yes, Usher claims to be made in Taiwan but are actually made in China. He claims that in an attempt to keep their price point higher, they base their company in Taiwan but are actually built and assembled in China.

Dont know if its true but this guy is involved heavily in the Asian market.
