Hi 10ht, You really need to tell us what amp your planning on using?
Thanks, TISH
Thanks, TISH
Hi 10ht, I agree with those who say that more specific information (room size, preferred listeningvolume level, amplifier etc.) will likely result in more meaningful recommendations. What sonic characteristics do you most value? Given you enjoy jazz (so do I) the Cube Audio Nenuphar is definitely a prime candidate. From what I have learned from a friend/Gon member who owns them (10" model) they are spectacularly good sounding speakers. Amplifier compatibility will vary greatly amongst your list of speakers.

Thank you all for your replies. My room is 9,2m x 4,8m Unfortunately the speakers need to be placed very close to the back and side walls (~20-30cm from back wall and ~40cm from side walls) Regarding amplification I can use Simaudio Moon 860A, 2x Burmester 911 MKIII or Channel Islands D200MKII Best regards |
10ht, Your amplifiers will be suitable matches for most of the speakers on your list but not for the Nenuphar. This very unique speaker will not perform at its potential with low output impedance/high damping factor speakers. This speaker is designed to work (at its best) with high output impedance amplifiers with little or no NFB (Negative feedback) thus low damping factor. . The 6 Moons review amplifier comparisons with the Nenuphar clearly demonstrated this. The Nenuphar is virtually the antithesis of a speaker such as the Raidho you're also interested in. These two speakers have very different amplifier requirements (And quite likely very different sonic presentations). Charles |
If you live in Europe, then I recommend you to attend Munich Audio show next May. https://www.tradefairdates.com/High-End-M4458/Munich.html It will be a good chance to listen to many speakers that you may want. Thomas |
