Usher Amp & Pre?

The Usher R-1.5 is a very nice amp that can drive tough loads fairly well but I would recommend using it with fairly efficient speakers to get the best out it. I used it to drive Thiel 3.6's and it was nice until things got a little too loud and then it slightly struggled but Thiels can be a bear. If I still had my old VMPS 626R's, I'd still be using that amp. Great build quality.

I'm demoing a 5.1 right now...comparing with Nuforce ref 8v2 class D's. Verdict still out but I wanted to try this amp with my Usher 6381's, plus I've never had a class a in my system. I will say build quality certainly is impressive. Best binding posts I've ever seen.

I'm also tempted to pair with a p307 pre to see if there's any special magic with an all Usher rig
