    That is possible one of the best looking center channels Ive ever seen.

    Good luck.

    Thanks. It is the best center that I ever have, too. The only reason I have to sell it because it is too big to fit to the shelve. I have to modify the TV stand to keep this speaker, but don't have time to do this for now...

    I have seen it and heard it. It is very, very good, and large. It doesn't take a step back from the Usher mains unlike the LsiC, which I feel is a huge step back. It has an unusually large port, but it works. The port is so big I wonder if it is actually contributing to kind of an open baffle effect.

    Ninerbj... I sold my complete system Lsi15/C/9 about a month ago. I just bought this Usher center, and it is much much better than the LsiC. It is just too big for the TV stand that I have, so I have to let it go to look for a smaller and different center, probably ProAC CC1 to match with my front speakers.

    hiccup
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Since Jason hiccuped for me, and I just went thru a scam on this speaker on Audiogon, I am going to give a final break... $475 + shipping. Local pick up and cash preferred. This is a steal.

    More about the scam information:

    Steal?
    This is more like a bank robbery!

    Steal? Bank robbery?

    Are we talking about the scam attempt or the awesome deal on this speaker? I guess they are both true.

    Now you're just giving it away.
    Someone man up and pick up what could be the last center speaker you ever purchase.

    Of course, I thought about it. The Usher is too big to fit in my stand, though.

    If only it weren't so difficult to find matching piano white L/Rs on Audiogon, I might even jump on this.

    Dane,

    Djslowe from Audiogon has a pair of X series floorstanders matching with this speaker. You might want to check with him, first.
