Hi Vinny,
I am very much at Bangalore, you can follow my other thread "Lets go for basics" in introduction.

Folks
more intro pricing information

X-718 intro priced at Rs 55K + VAT
X-719 (identical to the above speaker but much lower bass) intro priced at Rs 58.5K + VAT

BE-718 intro priced at

Rs 87.5K + VAT. I can tell you folks that this price will be hard to maintain. At this point this speaker is discounted 22% from US Retail and folks, this is the speaker to beat at this price

CP-6311 intro priced at 86.5K + VAT.

If anyone wants to take a listen at ARN (Bangalore) tomorrow (being a holiday), pls feel free to contact me...I plan to be there the whole afternoon and evening, in any case, you can always walk into ARN anytime.

CDP, sub, R6-0, etc pricing still to come

cheers
Sridhar

Thanks to Raghu for pointing this out, in my previous post I meant to say that the bass goes down to a lower Hz (and not lower bass in terms of less bass). The X-719 goes down to 38Hz compared to the X-718 which goes to down to 42 Hz (both points at -3dB)

cheers

Hi,

First of all Sorry for the delayed posting ! Am attaching the pics of the Ushers that I took some time back.

Regards

Wow, that might be one of the best looking speakers I have ever seen. Is that an MA RS1 next to it?

Hi,

Yes it is !! I wanted to edit all this and post some clean pics but since it was an emergency I posted with any photoshop magic !!

Regards.

Soundsgreat, thanks for taking the trouble. The white finish has 11 coats of lacquer! You have to see it to believe the finish. He didnt have enough time to get the photos as well as he would have liked, but i can see he did really well with the few seconds that he had, maybe next time we can post photos of the stands as well. On the last photo, below the Usher tag is the front port (its not round port as is usually the case). The MA you can see I believe is an RS 6.

Take a look at the woofer closely, anything that strikes you?

cheers

Very nice pics. And these little speaker DO look good.

And those marks on the woofer cone make me think they are strenthened paper cones (used in some high end designs).

But I am little mixed up here. Soundsgreat and Particleman cross posting or something
