I have Nenuphar minis with a pair of REL S/510’s. Last subs I’ll probably ever buy. I used to think I’d never want subs with my 2-channel system but I originally got a pair of REL T5i’s to use with some standmount speakers and couldn’t go back. Loved how the little RELs integrated and disappeared. When I moved into a bigger room they were a bit too small. I initially went with a JL F110. It was also pretty nice sounding but I couldn’t quite get the integration as good as the RELs. I was looking to add a second JL but then a great deal on a pair of S/510’s came up and I went for it. My room is about 14x18 and open on one end. I have more headroom than I need and the subs sound great. I’d also recommend Rythmik and almost went with a pair of F12’s but the RELs were too good a deal to pass up. Highly recommended

@dspringham Charles ( @charles1dad ) and I were, by pure coincidence, discussing the very issue yesterday. : ) A number of Nenuphar owners use subs effectively (for their needs). Larry ( @larryi ) has posted his preference for the Nenuphars with the Basis subs. +1 to @abd1 ’s post and his recommendation for Rythmik Audio subs. A friend of mine is very satisfied with the results achieved by pairing his subs with the Nenuphars. |
@david_ten No affiliation, but I would point basically everyone to audio kinesis’ swarm solution. It fixes issues in a scientifically proven method. I truly believe that multiple sources of sub80hz bass spread around the room fixes a problem that can only be solved by that approach or an absolutely perfect room. |
@cal3713 +1 I'll add that Duke is wonderful to work with. |
It would make such an interesting comparison, Audio kinesisis swarm and Cube Audio's own well thought out subwoofer product. For those who seek Nenuphar bass augmentation I strongly suspect that either would be excellent choices. Given my taste I'd still find the stand alone Nenuphar highly desirable. In light of yesterday's Kentucky derby, horses for courses. Charles |
