    I do not. When you "experience" her on a full range system?

    Holy crap, Batman....

    You will have a complete 180 degree turnaround. Mark my words. You don't know what you don't know until you know what you didn't know before. But when you know? Oh, damn, you will know.

    It will be an "audiophile" listening session.

    If you are not there yet? Well, best of luck to you and we will be here to help you get to that point.

    I don't like her music and I never will. And trust me I've already experienced equal or deeper bass than whatever her ghostwriter producer is putting into her tracks for her.

    I did not like her music either, Drew....

    Until I "heard" it. Big difference.

    *sigh*

    It's not like that bro'.

    Things are what they are. I'm just telling it like I have experienced it. At one point, I did not like her as well. My apologies if I implied that I was putting you down or trying to embarrass you in any way, shape or form.

    My only intention was to relay what my experience has been. Nothing more, nothing less.

    I LOVE my tiny dancers with the beryllium tweets and diy dual sub-stands. DIRAC Live integrates it very well, so bass heavy music is not a problem (basically flat to 25 hz with the calibration). I have been tempted to try to newer version with the DMD tweeter…hmm too back it’s local pickup only…

    USAM seller confirms no original boxes/packaging, so it's a hard pass.

    I loved, absolutely loved, my MD2’s with the diamond tweeter, but my Rosso Fiesole are better by a pretty good margin (and they should be based on price.)

    That being said, Usher is one of the best bang for buck out there IMO. I still have 6311’s and the matching center in my HT.

    Well, I will be trying these soon after all, because I'm a sucker for a high gloss exotic veneer.

    Ugh.... @Clipdat , I know you took a ribbing, but honestly bro, it drove us nuts

    I still do it sometimes! Sometimes it makes more sense. Like, if it's a brief response.

    The one that kills me is when people quote a big photos post just to post a 3 word response.
