What our customers are saying:

....I could list at least 20 adjectives to describe the staging, depth, transparency and width of this meticulously crafted system, and still not completely describe the awe I experience when I sit and listen to my music.

.......I have found them to be the kind of speakers that unlock aspects of my favorite LP's and discs that I truly had not heard before. The bass on the Ushers is incredible, both in depth and focus. No mush or boom here, just tight bass that makes listening to Earl Klugh or Bella Fleck a pure joy.  It is obvious that the crossover mods, reference grade resistors and premium wiring wring every pleasant bit of sound out of what start out as very good speakers.

..... just wanted to let you know that after auditioning the Ultimate 708s at your store this weekend, it gave me a new perspective of what is possible from an already affordable speaker system. The level of realism and transparency that was filling the room made it very hard for me to leave. I most definitely want to come back for another listen after you finish the new Reference 718s you are currently working on. Please let me know when you are done with them so I can make arrangements to hear them before you send them off to your customer.

........Overall, I'd have to say you nailed the system with respect to what I was looking for. I can't imagine that things could get much better, honestly. The presentation is pretty much what I  was after...natural, balanced, unstressed yet articulate, no excessive sibilance, excellent command of the lower registers which delve deeper than expected in my setup with tightness verses flabbiness.

"......99 times out of 100 I would take the upgraded X-718s over stock. The stock X-718s were a little more relaxed in a couple areas... which I liked. But it was readily apparent that the upgraded parts in the modded X-718s took resolution, imaging, soundstage placement, and bass detail to a new level...".

".......We compared the speakers first, upgraded vs. non-upgraded (Usher X-718's) and everyone agreed it was an improvement. The specific things I heard were better instrument and vocalist placement. Also, the bass was less 'wooly' or warm... or just cleaner. The highs were more extended but not harsh. Overall, a good investment. The nice thing about the mod is that it doesn't lose the sound I liked about the 718's but makes them better. I also think they need a wee bit more break-in...."
