Not so tiny dancer – It's Usher's new Nereo ND-5 [$8'800/pr], a 3-driver MTM 2-way tower in a cold-laminated curved Birch cab with slotted front port. The 1.25" tweeter is the brand's own neodymium-powered diamond dome, the 7" mid/woofers exploit a German-sourced wool/wood membrane with a unique damping layer. The sum of these parts nets 90dB sensitivity and a claimed -3dB bandwidth of 28Hz-40kHz. The filter hinge sits at 2.1kHz, dimensions are 30 x 54.5 x 130cm WxDxH and weight including the plinth is 44.5kg/ea. The global hifi scene has many electronics from China, Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong. When it comes to successful hifi speaker houses from the region, how many can you name? Usher who started in 1972 are possibly the most established presence in that sector. It's good to see them back in action with what looks like a special edition of the Dancer Mini-Two Diamond which we're told will be limited to just 100 pairs.
