Hello,
Looking at the level of the stated distortion and accompanying output impedance and damping factor of >10 (Does this mean But <20?) is consistent with a zero NFB (Or very low level of NFB). So based on these measurements they suggest that (on paper) this amplifier should be a pretty decent match with the Nenuphar. Only an educated guess as other aspects of the amplifier aren’t known. Speaker impedance =8 ohm ÷ output impedance of roughly 0.8=10 which is the DF (At least for 8 ohms).

<<help decoding these specs and opinion on compatibility with the cubes...
Output Impedance <0.8 ohm
Damping factor >10>>

Yup, DF = 8 ohm/0.8 ohm = 10

Here are some other amps for comparison:

Mola Mola (Class D) = 0.003 ohm, so DF = 2666  <== avoid
Bryston 4B (Class AB) = 0.016 ohm, DF = 500  <== avoid
Aesthetic Atlas (zero feedback hybrid) = 0.25 ohm, DF = 32
FirstWatt SIT-3 = 0.26 ohm, DF = 31
FirstWatt SIT-1 = 0.27 ohm, DF = 30
LTA Z10 (ZOTL) = 1.2 ohms, DF = 6.7
Audio Nirvana 300B SET = 2.7 ohm, DF = 3

Thks guys. 
I was sure these specs will fit well the cubes.

Hi everyone,
I had planned on purchasing the Cube Nenuphar 10 this fall for my 14 x 18 room but my system is now being relocated to a 11 × 12 room.  Is this room to small the the Nenuphar 10's?  Should I being looking at the Nenuphar 8's instead?
@bobheinatz Bob, I would personally choose the Nenuphar Mini (F8 Neo driver) speakers for that sized room (11 x 12).

Keep in mind, I have my Nenuphars (10s) pulled way out into the room and listen to them in a somewhat nearfield position. My room is 19 by 26.

Perhaps those who have their Nenuphars placed much closer to the front wall will provide their recommendations?
