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

Does anybody listen to their Nenuphars in the near field? I'm guessing they would work well, but you never know and would love to hear about anyone's first-hand experience. Thanks.

@paullb What is your reference / criteria for "nearfield" in your setup scenario?

I find the Nenuphars work incredibly well nearfield [in my room]. In my current listening position, as I type, my ears are 7 ft measured on the direct diagonal to each driver. Some may find this ’nearfield’ ...others may not...room dependant.

I’ve been as close as 5ft on the same measurement.

@ David_ten

perfect. I was thinking about 5 to 7 feet. Nearfield could be closer in a small room or a desktop type setting, but not for speakers design for 20-40m² rooms. 5 feet is as close as I would want to get. I bet your Imaging and depth of field are out of this world (I assume they are out of the room). 

A second page has been added to the announcement from 6Moons regarding the new Cube Audio driver and speaker.

The speaker is named "Jazzon"

I checked Cube Audio’s site and nothing as of yet.

Is there an endpoint in this "hobby"? 🙄

A few weeks ago I posted about setting up my Nenuphar Mini's in my new room and having trouble with imaging. Thought I'd follow up...

First, even though I love my house, acoustically my new room sucks. However, I was able to position the Cube's just so to get a nice centered image. I had more toe-in than normal and the speakers were almost pointed directly at the MLP. I had wanted to get some GIK Acoustic panels but my wife has other thoughts. With physical room correction off the table, for now, I went back to the drawing board. Then I remembered how much I liked my Emotiva XMC-1 with Dirac, which I sold when we moved. Dirac was the first room correction I tried that I felt made a real improvement. I remembered there being a standalone Dirac processer -- MiniDSP! Turns out they're now on Dirac 3 and MiniDSP sells a couple Dirac processors designed for 2-channel audio. So I purchased the DDRC-22. After spending way too many hours on a Saturday trying to figure out why I wasn't getting any sound out of it when doing the room sweeps (my bad, I had to turn the volume way way up and then realized there's a -10db attenuation setting as default) I finally got it going and ran my first curve last night. Now listening to Fabiano Do Nascimento's Tempos Dos Mestres album and I've never heard my system sound so good! Sound is layered, pin point, textured... beautiful. Still have some tweaking to do and going to run sweeps again this weekend and fine tune some. Anyway, I'm sure mentioning DSP will trigger some nerves, but I highly recommend checking this out. They also make a processor with analog inputs so if you spin vinyl or roll tape you can run your analog sound through the processor and get Dirac room correction -- pretty cool.
