Yes, Skylar is the primary, but , my opinion the full range single
driver speaker still get disadvantage to compare all my
speakers based on the wideband drivers. The best is Bache -002.
They work perfect with 10-20 watt amp , and get bass . midbass and highs which coudnot compare with one driver

@bache Thanks. The thread you linked did come up in my search and I'll take a look at it.
I just looked at your website and the Skylar is your primary full range single driver speaker, correct? |
|
@acresverde Thanks! I have the same concern. From the review it would likely mean moving to another preamp and amp in my chain. Srajan preferred First Watt over the 30.8 and I would think it would only get worse with the T+A with respect to the Cube speakers. |
One thing to keep in mind is that The Cubes, according to "6 Moons", do not get on well with amps of a high damping factor. I suspect your T+A is of the high damping factor persuasion. Even the 30.8 is on the high side, if I remember correctly.
I am personally intrigued by the Nenuphar but until I've heard the low bass they are supposed to be capable of, I will remain doubtful. I also wonder about the severity of response peaks and dips in the real world as well. But intrigued, I am. |
@nonoise It's quite a review, for sure. I'd love to be able to listen to them in person, prior to committing.
A trusted audio friend is advising that the sound of a specific full-range driver is so specific, it's mostly about personal taste and whether that particular driver will be fully acceptable to me. |
@erik_squires Yes, yes, yes...in time. : )

@roberjerman Thanks! The Ohm Walsh speakers are well regarded and I’m somewhat familiar with them. My brother-in-law has a pair.
Since you state that they are the ’best’ iteration of the concept, can you give me a feel for where they excel, in your opinion? Also, what other single driver speakers did you compare them to and how did those fall short in comparison? Thanks.
|
I recall Srajan saying that he and his wife were both gobsmacked by the Cube Audio Nenuphar to the point of simply succumbing to it like no other speaker they have heard. It completely relaxed and lulled the both of them into a reverie of sorts (major poetic license in paraphrasing here).
If you can get a listen for yourself, I'd like to hear your impressions.
All the best,
Nonoise |
You know what you need? I can sense it, through the fog, it's getting clear... more clear ... more clear....
You need to build your own pair of speakers. Yes, that's what you need to do. Lots of single/wide-band kits as well as multi-ways.
Best,

The best iteration of the full-range driver concept remains the Ohm Walsh driver and speakers using it. Coherent sound from 30hz up to 8Khz +. Room-filling 3-D sound from anywhere in the room! Must be heard to be believed! I've had a pair for years! The Walsh's will literally put the performers right in your listening space! |
My Room: 19 ft wide (speaker wall); 26 ft long; 9 feet high.
Primary components: Small Green Computer Server > Sonore Signature Rendu SE Renderer > Denafrips Terminator DAC > T+A PA 3100 HV Integrated Amplifier > Tekton Design Double Impact SE Speakers.
Musical preferences are approximately 40% Jazz / small ensemble acoustic; 40% world/fusion acoustic~electronic; 10% Pure Electronic; 10% Orchestral Classical.
(Note: most of my classical listening is solo instrument or small group, counted in the first category and I am counting Pop/Indie/Rock in the second category). |
