Opinions needed

@10ht   If you would like to learn more about my experience with Cube Audio's Nenuphar, feel free to reach out via PM. - David.

If you live in Europe, then I recommend you to attend Munich Audio show next May.

It will be a good chance to listen to many speakers that you may want.

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).

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

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.

Hi 10ht, You really need to tell us what amp your planning on using?
Thanks, TISH

A friend owns the Cube speaker and I am saving up to purchase it.  I am sure all the speakers on your list are very nice but this is a single driver done right.

This is pretty meaningless until you share what aspects of sound reproduction and and speaker performance are most important to you. 

If you like Jazz Vocal, I recommend you to try Lansche 5.2 with plasma tweeter.

I had been happy with Lansche 4.1 driven by SET amp since 2005.

Both Eva Cassidy and Elvis Presley sounds spooky with plasma tweeter.

What's your amp and size?

What speakers do you own?

Thank you

Thank you for your reply.

I can audition all except the Egglestones and the Estelons.
I listen mainly Jazz...

I am not owners of those speakers.

But I had auditioned Sonus Faber and Eggleston with good impression.

The choice will depend on your favorite music genre and amplifier.

Sonus Faber is good for classical music or Jazz.

Eggleston can play louder covering all kind of music including rock.

With this high price tag, you had better audition yourself.

It is not good idea to do blind shopping.

I'm an owner, of speakers. They are very desirable. In my opinion.
