Usher Audio Dancer CP-8571 II Loudspeaker
A high-end speaker from Taiwan? Our reviewer says it’s the real deal.

While I do not find the Dancer’s mid and low bass to be underdamped, some listeners might, although damping materials can be added to the massloading chamber to further tighten the bass. Finally, low-frequency aficionados might wish for a dab of bass reinforcement to add weight to the half-octave between 20-30Hz.
Usher’s Dancer CP-8571 II is a wonderfully capable speaker that gives you nearly top-tier performance at a nottoo- outlandish price. If you’ve dreamed of owning speakers like Wilson Audio’s $22,400 Watt/Puppies or $11,700 Sophias, but can’t fit them into the budget, the great news is that the Dancer puts you in that performance range for a much more manageable $7735—a price/performance “math” that works for me.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your thoughtful reviews. I see in a later review that you found the CP-8571 II superior to the Mini Dancer Two, but you felt the Mini Dancer was the value winner, coming close for much less money. I am just wondering if you have had any chance to listen to the Mini Dancer One (or, even, the Dancer Mini One).
Thanks so much.
