Very nice :)

Cheers Al
The Usher is a very capable amp, it has driven anything extremely well that I have wired to it.
Even my old Dali Skyline speakers at 4 Ohms nominal that dropped to 1.5 Ohms

Hmmm. Would love to hear this in my system. Don't suppose you'll be in Northern Ireland any time soon Andy?

Don't suppose you'll be in Northern Ireland any time soon Andy?

Hi John
As much as I would love to visit NI, unfortunately it won't be happening soon.
It's not a lot of money for such a great amp. Why not just buy it :)
They currently retail at about £2300

Usher amp now sold.
Cheers for all interest shown

[JohnJo]

Excellent

Dam, I missed the Usher as I was away on business. I have heard the Usher with Andy's super speakers and they sounded mighty fine. Made me completely rethink my system. :scratch:

Though the amp has sold, if the deal fails then I will be in touch.
Though it should go through ok
