The S-520 mini-monitor is a marvel of performance, quality and price. No other Usher loudspeaker has won more awards or been lauded by reviewers more often. At just $700 a pair, the 520s are a true Hi-Fi bargain. They deliver unprecedented dynamics and response for a cabinet of this size. For 2-channel and surround-sound mini-systems, 520s are ideal. Features include a 5-inch polypropylene woofer, 1-inch dome tweeter and magnetic shielding.

“I was immediately taken by the Usher S-520’s midrange and high-frequency resolution. The sound was detailed and natural throughout the midrange, with a degree of low-level dynamic articulation unusually realistic for such a low-priced speaker. ” Robert J. Reina, Stereophile

“The S-520 is an absolute gem. Given the level of performance demonstrated here and the established list of accolades already received, most speaker manufacturers would have been more than satisfied to rest on their laurels especially considering the available quality and depth of the rest of their speaker line.” 6moons Audio Reveiws
