| Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ? @tkukielk that’s a great idea having salk build the cabinets. I’m a big Salk fan. I have two pairs now (Song3’s and Wow1’s) and also had a pair of songtowers. I also recently purchased Cube Nenuphar Mini’s. I wanted a walnut finish and was thinkin... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @david_ten I'm always open to suggestions but since this area is part of our main living room I have to balance the WAF in regards to placement. I'm also having a new cabinet built that will be about 3-4" wider than the current one. The listening ... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure I would describe the canary as “creamy” but with excellent detail. There’s a certain lit from within sound I’ve heard others describe but didn’t understand until I heard this amp. Voices are the best I’ve heard. Might be a touch polite but speaker... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure I uploaded photos in the virtual system. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/9181One issue I’m having is that when I turn the volume down I get a pop of distortion. I’m using a sachs preamp. I haven’t had this issue with any other speaker. It doe... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Received my Nenuphar Mini’s Friday night. Got them uncrated and hooked up but it was late once I did so I played a couple songs and waited until Saturday morning. Listened to some music Saturday morning at low volumes and left them playing all day... | |
| Speaker recommendation $10-20K (with some requirements!) there are so many quality speakers in this price range it would be difficult to pick one. The other issue is that the ringing could be upstream and not the speaker. However, I also recommend Salk. I’ve had a few pair and still own 2 pair. The RAAL... | |
| Doge 7 tube DAC I'm thinking about the Doge 7 too. Currently have a PS Audio DSJr and like it but wanting to check out some tube and/or NOS dacs this year. MHDT, Doge 7, AudioMirror are all on the radar. Curious to hear anyone else's thoughts if they've had and/o... | |
| Speaker upgrade I have a pair of Cube Audio Nenuphar Mini’s that are supposed to arrive next week. I’d do some due diligence on them. What’s attracted me to them is they’re easy to drive, easy to place, and well within your budget. I’ve heard they tick all the bo... | |
| What speaker – under $10k – has the best timbre and tonal qualities? I have a pair of Cube Audio Nenuphar Mini’s on order. Everything I’ve read about these has been amazing so I’m really looking forward to them. It’s a major splurge for me but I’m going for it. They’re a bit over 10k but might be what you’re lookin... | |
| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? My first time hearing a tube amp was an all McIntosh system. MC275 and tube preamp. My jaw hit the floor. I couldn’t afford that system but I did get a used Primaluna Dialogue One and I loved it. I wound up upgrading tubes and fuse and I went back... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @stephendunn Thanks for the reply. I'm like you where I've felt cables make a difference but also agree with the diminishing returns. Interesting to hear your experience, but for my wallet's sake I wish it weren't true. | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @stephendunn... I'm a cable believer however I've noticed the least difference with power cables. I am using a PS Audio P5 regenerator so I think they might have less an impact in my system since the power is regenerated. I love the P5 and did not... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @david_ten The speakers are supposed to arrive early-mid December. At least to the distributor. So I'm hoping to have them mid-late December. I'm very excited. So far I'm using the amp with my 85db standmounts and it has zero issues driving them. ... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure I acquired a Canary M90 push pull 300b amp that I’m going to try. It sounds great so far with some 85db 8ohm stand mounts that I have and that’s not an optimal pairing. Looking forward to how it sounds with the Nenuphar Mini’s. | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Yes, it is low enough. Quite good, actually. Is there a number I should be considering as the max for damping? I don't really understand the damping rating in amps so if I had a threshold that you recommend I do not cross that would help.I'm def... |
