About the CP8571 II Dancer

The Usher Audio CP-8571 II Dancer is a meticulously crafted three-way loudspeaker designed for audiophiles seeking high performance and refined sound quality. It incorporates a 1.25-inch Beryllium dome tweeter for detailed and glare-free high frequencies, a 7-inch paper cone midrange driver capable of resolving fine textures and nuances with agility, and an 8-inch carbon-impregnated paper cone bass driver for authoritative low-frequency reproduction. The cabinet is constructed with thick, curved HDF panels and satin wood veneers, designed to minimize resonance and diffraction, contributing to a focused and natural soundstage. The speaker features crossover frequencies at approximately 282 Hz and 2.52 kHz, a nominal impedance of 8 ohms, sensitivity of 87 dB at 1 watt/1 meter, and a frequency response extending from about 28 Hz to 40 kHz. Weighing around 179 lbs (81 kg) including its base, the CP-8571 II Dancer combines innovative driver technology, precision crossover design, and elegant craftsmanship to compete with much more expensive American and European speakers.
