Designed by Joseph D'Appolito in collaboration with other US, UK and Taiwanese companies the Be718 is now finally in production. Born out of the desire of distributors worldwide to get the superb BeO Usher Tweeter into a cheaper stand mount loudspeaker, the Be718 has been worth the wait.

The Be718 with its new Mid woofer drive unit has not let the side down, Offering exceptional clarity and dynamic range for its price this beautifully crafted stand mounted speaker features a distinctive front panel slant that in an unparalleled configuration improve the time/phase alignment and further reduce cabinet resonance. These diminutive speakers offer stunning levels of sonic performance for your money.

Using Ushers latest high performance high definition Beryllium Tweeter and the new woofer that feature a heavily damped and carbon fibre impregnated paper cone. A design that has proven to be free of resonance's normally associated with stiff paper cones. This speaker sets new standards for the quality Usher Audio offer, as per usual the build quality is second to none.

With reviews now appearing around the world online and in the old traditional paper press you can start to read what we have known about for a long time, this really is a little eastern gem that will keep you enjoying your music whatever you listen to.


"Many loudspeakers utilise a rising response towards 20kHz to add sparkle and atmosphere, and ensure that everything is picked up within the performance, whereas the Be718s do this naturally by virtue of their well designed tweeter - you really feel that you are hearing everything you are supposed to, without any areas being artificially boosted. A quick blast of Vivaldi's 'Four Seasons - Spring' presented violins with a pleasing effortlessness and ensuring that they never sounded strained or screechy - a sure sign of a good tweeter. This sense of evenness continues into the midrange, where the Be718s deal expertly with both vocals and instrumentation. They project an impressively wide and deep soundstage into the room which permits easy placement of musicians within the recording. Jackson Browne's vocals on 'The Pretender' were magnificently rendered, and the backing drum strikes were snappy and solid, adding verve and pace to the performance" Adam Smith - HiFi World
