Cube Audio speakers in Northern California?


My audiophile pal in Italy upgraded to Cube Audio speakers and is blown away with them.  I'd be keen to hear a pair if anyone near Sacramento or San Francisco  has a pair that they would allow me to hear.  I will be happy to bring refreshments to the audition.  Thanks.

Please elaborate.

 

I just realized I bought your Qualio IQs. I thought your name sounded familiar. 

I’ll second that @ozzy62. I’d love to hear your thoughts @eric5kim on each of those speakers. I’m intrigued by them all. Also what amps have you tried with them?

Nenuphar's are a more "complete" sounding speaker for me.

Does things like coherency and portray realism better. 

Better integration of low/mid/high's compared to IQ.  (Nenuphar mini's are better than Neuphar's in this regard) 

However, the amplification matching is totally different between the two. 

Nenuphar's are harder/more demanding to match and they reveal changes in upstream gear much more than the IQ. (no crossovers) 

IQ's are much more forgiving with amplification... they generally like high current/fast amps. 

For most ppl, I'd recommend IQ.

For obsessive tweakers who like to tinker and get into various tube amplification, Nenuphar's might be your cup of tea (no one "right" amp, every amp/tube has their strengths and weaknesses so you have to match according to your preference) 

Ozzy,

I seem to follow in your footsteps in terms of gear... Don Sachs electronics, Spatial Audio and now the Qualio's which I a seriously considering... but it would be nice to sell my Cube Audio Jazzon speakers first.   They are for sale on USAM if anyone is interested.  Cheers, Whitestix (Mark)
