From my testing with the Fourier Components - Triomphe Power Amplifier, A.R.C. REF3 Line Stage and Marantz     SA-11S2 CD Player these are one of the best bookshelf Loudspeakers I have heard under the popular $5K price point. Let alone at the modest cost of the BE-718's which only highlights the fact they are tremendous buying for those who have limited space and size requirements. When partnered with first class Hi-Fi components these Loudspeakers act as a fantastic basis for any high quality stereo system. You cannot appreciate how well dampened and tight the bass response is from this mini monitor Loudspeaker system.

The results are very impressive from only having these in my system for a short time period I look forward to many more hours sitting in front of them. Traditionally I have not been a fan of mini monitor loudspeakers but with these set-up correctly in your listening room It feels like you are listening to a much larger and more expensive loudspeaker system when you first hear them. If I had known that this level of performance was possible for such a modest price I would have ordered a pair earlier, but as I say better late than never. The fit and finish of these gems is out of this world, insane and just very impressive in everyway. They are second to none in terms of attention to detail and construction quality. Far superior to any other competing product in the same price range. They are very hefty at nearly 20kg's each and when you closely inspect the enclosures you can see why.

Are your loudspeakers designed by the world?

Introducing the Global Design Project beryllium-domed Be-718s. These captivating, high performance monitor speakers are engineered with the finest hand-picked components sourced from around the world. We always look for the absolute best price/performance ratio from our suppliers wherever they are, creating real value for you. Our Global Design Project is the key to the Be-718's Amazing Sound and Surprising Value!

The Be-718 story begins with MusikMatters' CEO Atul Kanagat visiting high-end dealers to learn what their customers really wanted. It seemed clear that everyone's looking for easy-to-place great sounding monitor speakers that look as beautifully finished as they sound. Plus one other small thing: They have to offer outstanding value! That's not asking too much, is it? Atul worked closely with Usher, and in a surprisingly short time, the latest addition to the Usher Dancer line appeared, the Tiny Dancers!

Just how global is our design project? The high technology drivers, crossovers, and perfectly timed-aligned cabinets are designed and built by Mr. Tsai Lien Shui at Usher Taiwan, with finishing cosmetics supplied by a firm in the United Kingdom. Dr. Joseph D'Appolito, Usher's long-serving technical consultant, provides crossover tuning here in the 'States. Crossover parts and JPS Labs internal wiring are made in the USA. Design wizard Danny Richie, of Texas based GR-Research, boosts the stock crossover's performance to unprecedented levels by selecting premium crossover parts, altering parts values, re-tuning baffle step compensation and smoothing out the speaker's vertical off axis response.

The Be-718s feature beautifully-crafted and lustrously-finished cabinets plus advanced beryllium oxide tweeters for smoothly extended highs. A new mid-woofer controls and articulates the bass, providing a solid foundation for an open and inviting midrange. The integration, extension, solidity, speed and clarity of the Be-718s uncover low-level detail usually lost in the noise floor of less resolving speakers. They are certainly one of the finest and most satisfying values on the market today.

Audition the beryllium-domed Be-718s and find out why everyone's talking about our Global Design Project and their Amazing Sound and Surprising Value!
