Be718 2 way Loudspeaker

Designed by Joseph D'Appolito in collaboration with other US, UK and Taiwanese companies the Be718 is now finally in production. Born out of the desire of distributors worldwide to get the superb BeO Usher Tweeter into a cheaper stand mount loudspeaker, the Be718 has been worth the wait.

The Be718 with its new Mid woofer drive unit has not let the side down, Offering exceptional clarity and dynamic range for its price this beautifully crafted stand mounted speaker features a distinctive front panel slant that in an unparalleled configuration improve the time/phase alignment and further reduce cabinet resonance. These diminutive speakers offer stunning levels of sonic performance for your money.

Using Ushers latest high performance high definition Beryllium Tweeter and the new woofer that feature a heavily damped and carbon fibre impregnated paper cone. A design that has proven to be free of resonance's normally associated with stiff paper cones. This speaker sets new standards for the quality Usher Audio offer, as per usual the build quality is second to none.

With reviews now appearing around the world online and in the old traditional paper press you can start to read what we have known about for a long time, this really is a little eastern gem that will keep you enjoying your music whatever you listen to.

"When I consider the overall sound from any small speaker I’ve auditioned, the Be-718 is the best that I’ve heard. It’s exceedingly well balanced, surprisingly neutral, and extremely transparent. It also has the best bass extension I've heard short of a big floorstanding speaker. The only caveats are that you’ll need a sufficiently powerful amplifier and that you’ll have to give the Be-718 room to breathe, given its generous bass. To me, those limitations are not too hard to accept". Doug Schneider - Soundstage

"The Usher Be-718 is a remarkable loudspeaker and a great achievement for its size and price. What makes the Be-718s special is its extremely low levels of tonal, dynamic, textural, and spatial colorations. This reduction in distortions allows the Be-718 to get out of the music’s way to a degree that is unprecedented in a loudspeaker of this price, in my experience. But the icing on the cake is the Be-718’s unlikely combination of treble resolution with smoothness, a characteristic that fosters an immediate and deep involvement with the music. The Be-718 makes it easy to forget you’re listening to a reproduction rather than to music itself". Robert Harley Absolute Sounds

"The Be-718 is one of those stand-mounts that's more likely to have you look around for the hidden subwoofer than wishing you had one. They showed amazing clarity, body and bass-resolving ability on the drum and its overtones on "Lovin Mother Fo Ya" from John Cougar's Uh-huh [RVL 7504]. Even the bass lines on "Serious Business", which are hardly prominent in the mix, remained superbly intelligible in the background". John Pottis - 6Moons
