Usher S-520 & S-525 Loudspeaker Package For sale is a pair of Usher bookshelf speakers (S-520) and the matching centre channel speaker (S-525) in a lovely cherry colour finish.They were bought new from a local HiFi retailer in Perth at the time of purchase.In overall very good condition and great value to performance ratio.As I don’t have the original boxes, local sale only. Condition: Very Good Payment Method: Cash on Pickup Region/State: (WA) Western Australia/Australia By eagle 3 Comments Secure Ad AUD $275 Date: March 16Mar 16
Compared with the obvious alternative of buying a single decent standmount at this money, this package is a strong bargain: A$275 sits far below your A$2,499 25th percentile and massively under the A$3,849 median for recent AUD comparables. In other words, this is priced like a quick buy, not a careful hunt.
That makes it interesting because these are well-liked compact Usher speakers with a reputation for clean, lively sound and good value in small-room or desktop setups. As a package, the upside is obvious if both pairs are working properly and cosmetically honest: you get flexibility for A/B use, a spare set, or different room roles without spending much. At this price, a clean, complete set looks very much like a buy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Usher Audio traces its roots to 1972, when Tsai Lien-shui founded the company in central Taiwan as a modest shop selling imported audio components and offering repair services. Starting with a passion for high-fidelity sound, Tsai drew on his growing expertise to assemble his own products, naming the brand "Usher" after a suggestion evoking his Taiwanese nickname A-zuei. From these humble beginnings in Taichung, the company expanded into a dedicated factory, cementing its place among Taiwan's pioneering audio manufacturers.
The brand specializes in high-end loudspeakers and amplifiers, crafting cutting-edge designs that emphasize precision engineering and exacting standards. Iconic offerings include floorstanding models like the Dancer series, which earned a Best of the Best Golden Ear Award in 2005 as the first Asian winner, and more recent bookshelf speakers such as the SD500 with its diamond tweeter. Usher avoids diversification into turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables, focusing instead on transducers and amplification that deliver exceptional clarity and dynamics.
Usher holds a respected niche in the global high-end market, favored by discerning audiophiles for its transparent, musical performance often compared favorably to electrostatic panels. While not a household name in the US, it enjoys cult status among insiders who praise its value and build quality, positioning it as a boutique Taiwanese powerhouse for serious hi-fi systems.
