The Usher Audio Nereo ND-5 is a high-end floorstanding loudspeaker from Taiwan, built as a limited edition of 100 pairs. It uses a D'Appolito MTM layout with a 1.25-inch DMD diamond tweeter between two 7-inch composite mid-bass drivers, aiming for wide dispersion, low distortion, and extended treble performance up to 40 kHz. The cabinet uses curved cold-pressed birch panels to improve rigidity and reduce resonances, and the crossover uses OCC copper and silver-plated conductors with Teflon insulation.
