    Well I know the Dyns and Usher have 2 total sound signatures with the Usher being more lively. It might actually have better synergy with the Pass than the more neutral Dyns. Do you have the Diamond tweeter with your Ushers?

    No, When I got these I would have had to go up to the BE-718 to get the beryllium tweeter which as it turned out wasn't a true beryllium tweeter after all. The diamond came out a couple years later. The X719's have a nice smooth presentation and the 7" woofers can move some air. They sound great in my HT application.

    I may bring the S520's over and give them a spin on the Pass also.
