ApplePayUsher Grand Towers MKII. These speakers - the MkII version, have the DMD (Diamond tweeters). These were retailing at $42,490 US dollars
There are three sections to each speaker. Assembly is easy although each section is very heavy.
I rated them a 7 out of 10 due to an obvious scratch on one speaker pictured and a few hairline scratches on side of both. There are a few areas where something under the skin of the cabinet can be seen. In a general way however, the speakers appear to be flawless. They are not. I've added photos showing the scratches on these speakers. There are no outriggers for these speakers.
There are boxes for these speakers. I transported to our home in southern Utah via plastic wrap and blankets. Due to the nature of these speakers, I will negotiate shipping using myself as the shipper. I wish to limit sale to no further than LA, the San Francisco Bay Area and Salt Lake City, North. We live in a small city in between, Cedar City, in Southern Utah. Denver area may be negoitable.
I can provide shipping via my truck. I don't trust shipping companies handling speakers such as these. I do not wish to use a shipping company as speakers don't survive well being handled by others but if you have a preferred one, we can negotiate a price.
Payment by PayPal, wire transfer, cash. Buyer assumes PayPal fees.
Specification 3-way system: Diamond DMD dome tweeter 1.25″ mid-low woofer 7″ x2 low-bass woofer 11″ (ETON 11-584) x2 sensitivity: 90 dB @ 1 watt / 1m nominal impedance: 4 ohms frequency response (-3 dB): 24 Hz ~ 40 kHz power handling: 225 watts crossover frequencies: weight: 179 kgs (including base) dimensions (w x d x h): 62 cm x 62 cm x 199 cm
Product Description The Grand Tower is more than just a new speaker from Usher Audio. As our newest flagship model, the Grand Tower represents the culmination of nearly 40 years of audio expertise. As such, it integrates Usher Audio’s most celebrated, award-winning technologies plus a few extras into one exquisite listening experience. Lying beneath the elegant lines of the Grand Towers are the thickest, most rigid, most advanced cabinets of any Usher speaker ever built. Only a cabinet that has reduced its mechanical vibrations to an absolute minimum will be capable of allowing its drivers to do the talking and we are happy to have achieved that with the Grand Tower. One defining feature is its 3 separate enclosures per speaker. This means double thickness where the enclosures meet, further separated by special vibration absorbing pads to render moot any interference from other drivers. As with the rest of the Dancer Series, the Grand Towers cabinets are built of our proprietary layered wood cabinet construction held together with a special penetrating glue effectively creating multiple constrained layers for dramatically reduced cabinet resonances. Average thickness surpasses 50mm for the heavily braced subwoofer. The MTM array maintains the same thickness but adds and incredible 120mm thick contoured front baffle!
Back in 2008 I believe, My wife and I were at CES (consumer electronics show) in Las Vegas. Being in this hobby as an audiophile for 60 years now I frequented audio shows. At this particular show, Usher made quite a stir in the music industry. After visiting countless audio rooms we landed in large room upstairs and found a system composed of the speakers that I am putting up for sale, regrettably. My wife and some friends of ours sat down and listened to what I thought was the most realistic portrayal of a symphonic performance I had ever heard from any speaker/system. It was stunning. At the time, knowing there was no way we could ever afford those speakers, we ended up buying the Usher Towers and lived happily with those for a very long time. My friends were so enthused about the Usher brand, they became Usher dealers. My dealer friend ended up buying the speakers as you see, the Grand Reference Towers MKII. Long story short, they moved and had no room for these speakers, so we bought them. The problem was is that we already have 3 systems!
