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

@stephendunn  Correct!!!  Placement is such a critical and rewarding factor with speakers in general.

Have you raised / have you considered raising your listening position to accommodate the 3 inch height increase with the Nenuphars on the Townshend platforms?

I imagine the results will be different with the bass reflex cabinet designs (i.e. sealed bottom cabinet versions) ???

david_ten  No I haven't tried raising my listening position--not really practical.  Trying to figure out now whether I like center of driver at ear level or not...

I’ve also found a modest but worthwhile improvement using Stillpoints in place of the factory spikes. Stillpoints makes some adaptors that work for the Nenuphars too. I think they’re for the Acoustic Zen Adagios, going from 1/4” to M6.  

Thanks David!

Also new kid on the block! The new Zen speakers with 15 inch open baffle sounds intriguing. Anyone here heard them?

At the Capital Audiofest, I got to hear the Cube Nenuphar Basis speaker in a very large conference room setup, with the speakers set far away from any room boundaries.  The electronics included a particularly rare First Watt amplifier.

The sound of the setup was fantastic--rich, harmonically dense and complete, relaxed and natural sounding while remaining lively.  This was among the best sounds I heard at the show.  The mild reservations I had about the sound of the 10" Nenuphar systems I've heard before at shows, were completely non-existent in this system--no upper midrange peak or tendency to "shout" and superb performance with music that required weight, such as full scale classical music.  In absolute terms, a very good sounding system, and at its price, a fantastic bargain.
