Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
@debjit_g,There’s been sufficient evidence posted here and elsewhere that people have had much success with low power amplifiers paired with the Nenuphars. However everyone must rely on their personal experiences and circumstances. The Line Magnet...

@toetapaudio, Can’t explain that one specific example, could have been simply lack of awareness at that time. Certainly if you go through current and past threads there’s been ample discussion of similar type speakers and genre. I believe there's ... 
Would This Amp Be Worth The Cost?
@ozzy62,Very well stated. There are clear distinctions with longer term listening compared to short duration involving shifting from one component to another (Which isn't how people listen in a natural setting). This seems so intuitive and self ev...

Hi Cal,Not at all surprised you'd appreciate it. Yes, definitely a niche there for SET/low power amplifiers paired with high efficiency speakers. Also you have the more common high power solid state amplifiers/lower efficiency speaker crowd. But w... 
Would This Amp Be Worth The Cost?
@rh67,That's an interesting fact to know. I suspect even beyond his unilateral hearing deficit he took  a philosophical stance that amplifiers by and large sound the same. It seems the electrical engineer side (So to speak) of him was very content... 
Would This Amp Be Worth The Cost?
@greywolf,Your have received some wise counsel in response to your post and I hope you give it some thought and consideration. When I first ventured into the audio world I was introduced to a magazine quite popular at that time called Stereo Revie...

Keith, I heard a Cessaro speaker in Jeff's (High Water Sound)  room driven by Tron components back around 2013.  I don't recall the specific model (Fairly large size and expensive ) but the overall sound was exceptionally good. When I heard the Ho...

Hello Keith, You are welcome.  By chance have you heard any Horning Audio speakers? I heard their Euphrodite model about 6 years ago at CES in the High Water Sound room and liked them quite a bit. Just curious on your take.Charles

Hi Stephen,Yes I recall you are using a resistor (Further improvement). Prior to that weren’t you experiencing very good SQ results with the stock Vinnie Rossi amplifier/Nenuphars?Charles 
Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
@paullb,Good question.Stephendunn uses the Vinnie Rossi integrated amplifier which is  low output impedance and thus relatively high damping factor.  He has achieved outstanding results. david_ten uses the Found Music 2A3 SET which has a high outp...

Ricardo,Given your experience with the Dynaudio, Devore and Magico speakers you have a very solid reference point of high quality competitors.  The Nenuphar Mini is so different philosophically and design I'm very interested in your take on it onc...

CD player reliability.... good and bad.
My experience mirrors skypunk,  Mahler 123, georgehifi and others. Tremendous reliability and service from CD players and transports with many years of frequent use. And if chosen wisely one can expect excellent sound quality and music reproductio...
