Usher X-718's with Silver and Oil Upgrade
« on: 19 Apr 2008, 03:21 pm »
These are the X-718's I bought from Carlman, so I thought I should offer them to the Circle first :)
They are in great condition. $800 plus actual shipping.  I also have the X-616 Center Available for $550 plus shipping.  Pictures available.

"......99 times out of 100 I would take the upgraded X-718s over stock. The stock X-718s were a little more relaxed in a couple areas... which I liked. But it was readily apparent that the upgraded parts in the modded X-718s took resolution, imaging, soundstage placement, and bass detail to a new level...".

".......We compared the speakers first, upgraded vs. non-upgraded (Usher X-718's) and everyone agreed it was an improvement. The specific things I heard were better instrument and vocalist placement. Also, the bass was less 'wooly' or warm... or just cleaner. The highs were more extended but not harsh. Overall, a good investment. The nice thing about the mod is that it doesn't lose the sound I liked about the 718's but makes them better"

I am willing to trade the speakers for a newer laptop or possibly a music server. I would also consider partial trade for acoustic treatments like GIK panels. I'm all set on other audio equipment though :)

3 people emailed me last week about the center channel, but I didn't check my account for a while. I just returned those emails, first to commit gets it.
