Cal,Yes KeithR has quite the extensive listening, ownership and auditioning history. On WBF there’s a core of about 12 to 15 people who contribute roughly 75- 80% of the posts and content. However they collectively have vast experience and  are co... 
Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
Hi cal,Yes, that’d be an ideal option to have. Agree, both excellent ( Cube Audio/Coincident ) but quite different head units /monitors. I read the WBF link and and related thread on reasonable sized horn speakers for modest room dimensions. Once ... 
Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
Reading the WBF thread comments I don't doubt that the Wolf Von Lang SON speaker is highly impressive. I am not surprised that some listeners will prefer it to the Nenuphar. It could be better than the Nenuphar in some respects to some listeners. ... 
LAMM M1.2 - Feedback - Advice - Please - anyone heard these?
@joecasey,You may have missed it above. He has written several times in this thread that he's heard and loves  the Ypsilon. So in fairness his wants and needs do exist. Charles

@ abd, Congratulations on acquiring the Nenuphar Mini speakers. Based on your listening impressions it seems with exception of one specific sonic parameter (Bite and slam) the sound quality is outstanding! Trying some other amplifiers for comparis... 
Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ?
@tkukielk,Smart decision to have a high quality cabinet built. The premium tier Cube Audio F 10 driver deserves this level of attention. I’m glad to read that you’re very happy with the sound quality.  Congratulations!Charles

@ fsmithjack,I first heard Ypsilonn components at the 2011 CES and was immediately impressed and found them to be special. I’ve heard them a few times since then and my opinion hasn’t changed. For what they do and what you’re seeking I doubt that ...

The Ypsilon is an used unit from an European sourced seller. The dilemma is uncertainty in regard to the actual cost of the international duty tax. He’s heard a  Ypsilon amplifier and loves its sound. Charles

Need speaker advice
@ffss, Very interesting ( Many would say unexpected) outcome you describe. Is your 2A3 amplifier SET or PSET ? What do they do better than the Pass Labs XA 25 when paired with your Sonus Faber speakers? This situation reminds me of the Rogers LS3 ... 
LAMM M1.2 - Feedback - Advice - Please - anyone heard these?
@fsmithjack, I can appreciate your frustration. You have experienced ears and well seasoned -developed taste. IOW you know what you like. I’ve heard Ypsilon, Dartzeel and Lamm, not a dog amongst them. I am more drawn to Ypsilon’s sonic signature. ... 
Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ?
Hi riaa, Looks aside, have you heard a Charney? If nothing else if would provide a nice context to compare with  the Nenuphar Mini. Congratulations on your purchase. Charles  
From Naim to Luxman...?
@superelmar,  With your speakers I can't imagine that the Luxman wouldn't be a splendid choice. No knock on your Naim  by any means. But I understand your desiring the grace, beauty and 3 dimensional presentation of a good tube amplifier. Luxman f...
