Usher V-601

The all-new V-601 standmount 2-way speaker features new Usher-designed and manufactured drive units, as well as a completely new cabinet design—well, it's a box. With build quality that others have been eyeing enviously for years, and now with sonic performance to match, this "traditional cabinet" has a real degree of finesse in its sound that belies its size and cost. When it was first heard at CES this year, Stan Tract from America waxed lyrical about its impact at the show, and now we can all see (and hear) exactly why. So if you are on the hunt for a friendly bookshelf / standmount speaker with an easy-to-drive load and the legendary Usher Audio build quality that will last, look no further. The V series are available in either Mahogany Cherry or Golden Cherry finishes.
