USHER Dancer Mini One Diamond

Though we may discuss the performance of the Usher (Dancer Mini One) below 2kHz and put it to a question, there is no point in discussing what happens in highs. The Usher’s tweeter is a champion that readily reveals the tinniest details and nuancees. Listen, for instance, to the excellent Percussion Fantasia CD (First Impression Music); the CD features both popular and less known classics played by an orchestra of percussionists and provides ample studying material for those who are convinced that ´percussions´are just drums, cymbals and triangles. Once you taste the multilayered world of rattles, kettles, chimes and hammered strings you will learn that you need the tweeter from Usher to be able to savor it. Every delicate detail of Carmen Fantasy is precised and polished and conveyed to a listener with both authority and fragile textures. Metal sounds like metal, wood sounds like wood and emotions erupt when a big drum enters the score at around 6´00.
When I rave about the hyper-resolving tweeter I mean grace, charm, seamless integration and sweet presentation at the same time. The tad of the sweetness reminds me of Dynaudio´s silk domes. The combination of all these elements results in a very listenable pair of speakers that show no hint of sterility or exaggerated brilliance.
