Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure

I demoed the Nenuphar again today.  It's a really incredible speaker.   For my taste, however, it was a little 'dry' and didn't have the emotional impact that I'm used to and looking for.  
With the right associated equipment I suspect (hope) I could dial it in but it would be a work in progress rather than a plug and play purchase.
I would describe it as a 'cerebral' speaker rather than soulful one.
It really can be intoxicating in terms of its spatial presentation, clarity, and the way it energizes the room. It's really special.     

I heard them on April 3 at a dealer.
I was intrigued enough by the sound to get a home audition.  I don't want to say much more because it was a system and room that I wasn't familiar with.  I'm not sure when I'll get the home audition but I'll be sure to give a full report then. 

@exlibris  Do you know when you will be able to home demo the Nenuphars?

I demoed the speakers last night and I'm impressed enough that I will follow that up with a home audition.

@david_ten 

congrats those speakers look interesting and have some nice reviews..

would also be interested in your comparison between the Tekton SE's, in what areas you like and prefer in each brand.   i assume  the SE's  would probably have better dynamics based on two 10" bass drivers?   

Reports from the front line would be great. Surely if you're considering one, you should the other. And vice versa.

@spiritofmusic  The 6Moons review does compare the Nenuphar and the Zu Druid VI  [Note: VI within the body of the review but V listed in the intro section under speakers].

Anyone able to compare these to Zu, esp the Druid 6?

David , single drivers are very addicting to listen, 

@ david_ten

I retrofitted a pair of 4 Inch Audio Nirvana Classic Full range drivers into my Energy Connoisseur C1 Cabinets which specs out around 53Hz-23Khz; 5 Inch Driver/1 Inch Dome tweeter. Not hearing any perceived roll-off in relation to the previous dome tweeter but the AN is just more vibrant and expressive.

No comparison! Right out of the box you will notice more transparency, clarity and a purity that is just phenomenal and talk about a disappearing act...I can hear unbelievable detail 50+ feet away on the other side of the house. The stock drivers were muddy and congested in comparison.

If this is what you get in eliminating crossovers/multi-drivers, I now see a change for me in the full range driver route. These are suppose to get even better with more hours and age.

I’m breaking in a pair of Emission Labs 2A3 Solid Plates. Once I have around 100 hours on them, I’ll report back.

I will bring the SEs back into rotation at that time.

@wig Thank You!

I’d love to hear your take and impressions of your new single full-range driver speakers.

Steakster good question...

@ david_ten

Congratulations on your new Nenuphars!

I recently bought a small pair of full range drivers to hear for myself their attributes and I'm quite impressed with the sound quality and now see the beauty of eliminating crossovers/multi-drivers.

I'll be auditioning them with my 45 amp in a week or two and will report back.
Art Dudley seems to have liked them at the Montreal show in March.

I took delivery in late February of the Cube Audio Nenuphars in the White Piano Finish.
