| Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ? @vinylbrother, If the occasion arises for further listening to the Cube Audio speakers (Especially the 10" Nenuphars) please share your impressions if you do not mind. Charles | |
| Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ? @inna,Ocellia and Tonian Labs are two brands that have used various size PHY drivers. There were probably a few more. Charles | |
| Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ? Cal,Agree .The PHY-HP is a legendary paper cone driver created by the late Frenchman Bernard Salabert. The 12" version in particular is held in high esteem for superb sound8 quality. The Cube Audio Nenuphar is a very different design and approach ... | |
| Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ? I recall hearing a very well implemented single driver speaker based on an 8 " Fostex driver at RMAF a few years ago. I was really taken with the sound quality. One of the better rooms of the entire show.There are some inevitable tradeoffs but thi... | |
| Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ? Evolution and progression does occur. Someone's experience with a Lowther single driver speaker has little to do with hearing a Nenuphar or Charney. Faulty extrapolation. Charles | |
| Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ? For a very reasonable cost the Omega speakers (Especially those utilizing the Alnico magnet) consistently received high praise for their natural sound quality. Moving to a higher price point the Cube Audio Nenuphar has been bestowed with excelle... | |
| Looking for a SS Amp to power Spatial Audio X-5's @mikem, Thanks for providing your listening impressions between these 2 fine amplifiers. Both continue to generate universal praise. I'd find the midrange purity of the S.I.T.3 to be very hard to resist . This is such a coveted attribute in my o... | |
| Devores and Omegas - input please @jayctoy,.Interesting comments on the Omega speakers. I have not heard them, but via owner feedback and a friend who’s ears I trust they are said to be very good.(Especially those using the Alnico magnets). Do you find them reasonably natural and... | |
| Devores and Omegas - input please @prof, Really astute insight and perspective. You're right of course, there are no perfect speakers and listeners determine what combination of strengths and flaws they find to be the most tolerable compromise. After many years of attending l... | |
| Devores and Omegas - input please @prof, That was an excellent description of distinguishing speakers that fit the "neutral/accuracy " mode versus those that mimic the "natural/organic live like sounding" mode. I understand precisely what you mean. Yes indeed, tenor saxophone hear... | |
| Last Audition - Blown Away By A Lottery System You can construct a "very" good sounding audio system with 20,000.00 dollars buying new/used or a mixture of both.Good luck, Charles | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options @luisma31, Thank you, I appreciate your very kind comments. Your Atma-Sphere MA-1 mono blocks will serve you excellently. Charles | |
| Reference Recordings If I had to choose I'd prefer RCA over Mercury as well.Charles | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options Cal,Excellent perspective. The primary issue with those who consider themselves "Objective " is their stubbornness and dismissive attitude toward those who simple trust what they hear. Condescendingly retorts "It's all in your head" . I firmly b... | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options @luisma31,I'm an advocate for high quality SET amplifiers and can relate to @icherepkal and his wonderful listening experiences with his former SET amplifier. However I have always been clear that proper speaker matching is mandatory to ensure a ... |
