| Tube Amp lower power vs higher power and cruising volume I agree with those who recommend staying with what you have. You’re very happy with your sound quality performance, congratulations . I’d appreciate this good situation and continue to enjoy it. It’s ’possible’ that the additional 4 output tubes f... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure David, That link you posted brought back pleasant memories . Mike Lavigne bringing the Found Music 2A3 SET mono blocks to my and other audiophiles attention. State of the art design and built quality to implement by all accounts an exquisite sound... | |

| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? @samhvcc,I'm certain that you are pleasantly surprised by the sucess you're experiencing with the JA 30 MKII. Your Esoteric amplifiers serve as a high power solid state amplifier reference point. Which of these two amplifiers do you prefer drivin... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Hi Stephen,Thanks as always for providing your listening impressions and observations. I've been involved in enough cable comparisons over the years and know without question the positive impact high quality cables can impart in an audio system. ... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Larry,The damping factor and amplifier output impedance considerations were discussed in ample detail in the original Nenuphar review in 6 Moons several years ago. The driver designer and builder explains why this approach was chosen. Probably exp... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure The OP of this thread david_ten uses the Found Music 2A3 SET mono blocks with stellar performance results. No doubt room size and ultimate listening levels are variables. Cube Audio pairs the Nenuphar with 45 and 2A3 SET amplifiers (Usually Tektr... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Hi keithr, If I'm correct your experience with high sensitivity and efficient speakers has been predominantly Zu Audio.i am not questioning your encounters with them and various amplifiers. I believe that the Cube Audio Nenuphar though not as sen... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Hi keithr, Why would that be the case? This contrary to what the Nenuphar designer and builder Grzegorz Ruika has stated publicly on several occasions. Low power SET with zero or low NFB were the intended type of amplifier to pair with. Is your c... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Based on the provided specifications (Modest level of NFB =6 and relatively low damping factor=10 and probably less into the 6 ohm Nenuphar) suggest a favorable match with the Nenuphars. Charles | |
| change amps or speakers Good and honest recommendation from Mike Sanders. This IMHO demonstrates that he has integrity. A higher sensitivity and easy to drive speaker will more effectively exploit the sonic potential of these fine QS mono blocks. Charles | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Hi abd1, One thing to keep in mind is you don’t require a lot of power to very effectively drive your Nenuphars. The Line Magnetic 508ia is definitely going to generate heat. The 805 is a high power DHT output tube that demands a very high voltage... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Hi greenhorn20, Nice choice of speaker color and it makes an attractive contrast to the color of the driver cone. BTW I really like the rich elegant color of the Viva Solistino. A nice room overall. Absolutes no doubt that your system sounds marve... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Hi David, At one time I gave serious consideration to Vaughn speakers (RAAL ribbon/Fostex 8" wide range driver) and the Tonian Lab Classic 12.1 (Which utilized the legendary French 12" PHY wide range driver) to pair with my 300b mono blocks. I did... | |
| change amps or speakers Hi majorc, In an earlier post you mentioned the Goldmund Dialogue speakers that impressed with their sound quality. These are 96 db sensitivity and reputed to have a fairly easily driven speaker load. Are these speakers available to you used? You... |
