Speakers for First Watt SIT-1 amp

glennewdick, I bet you’re right that if I move away from single-driver speakers I will miss them. I should find out more about how the other single-drivers compare to the Omegas. As almarg said, I should probably zero in on some with higher impedance.

The only way I really find my Omegas lacking is with instrument separation with busy music.  Should any of the other single-drivers help with that?

That's just the type of music I'm having issues with.  Has anyone heard single-driver speakers that don't sound congested with busy music?

charles1dad, thank you for the recap. I had missed that Cube Audio does single-driver speakers. Wow the 6moons review of the Nenuphar is exciting, especially since I already have the SIT-1. It looks like the Magus and Bliss C each go for around half of the Nenuphar’s price. I think I’m between Cube and Voxativ at this point. My impression is that Cube is a better value. Does anyone have a handle on how the speakers from these outfits differ as far as performance?

I should also mention that I'm using a Rythmik sub but it sounds like it wouldn't be needed with the Nenuphar.

I read the Magus review on hifiknights.com and he loves the speaker but am I reading it correctly that he loves the PureAudioProject Trio10 Voxativ more?  Any soldering required to put the Trio10 together?

I suppose the Trio10 runs the Voxativ driver at full range and just clips the mid and upper frequencies for the woofers?

The Charney Audio stuff is really interesting.  I wish there were more listening impressions/reviews online.  I'm not near enough to NJ to visit unfortunately.

I was thinking Cube Audio was the way to go but based on that review (and others) it's hard not to second-guess.  It sounds like the Trio10 Voxativ is at least as good as the Magus if not better.  What I especially like about Cube though is that Srajan heard them with the SIT-1s and gave the combo the thumbs up.  The Trios require some (I think, basic) assembly and naturally they have crossovers although I hope the Voxativs have a direct line to the amp.  It's a tough call.  I do like the idea of four 10" drivers.

Probably won't be making a move on this in the near term.  I need to sell off some gear to gather funds.
