| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Onhwy61,Well, david_ten who has owned the Nenuphars for a couple of years could certainly chime in with some informed insight. Based on what I’ve read and heard about this speaker I’d say that probably 70% is attributed to the remarkable driver’s ... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure The Nenuphars are so easily driven it seems that the beastly Aries Cerat amplifiers would be overkill in this specific application. I’m not doubting the sound quality of these massive amplifiers. Charles | |
| Most desirable vacuum tubes for SET amps Again no clear cut answer. Most desirable to who? One could certainly say the 300b is the most popular DHT tube. There are numerous current production brands (With various price categories to choose from) 300bs available. A sign of demand if nothi... | |
| Most desirable vacuum tubes for SET amps +1 testpilot. Any one of the listed tubes can sound truly excellent if careful attention is given to speaker selection. The higher power transmission output tubes such as 845 and 211 can be magnificent sounding in the hands of a talented/skilled ... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Hi samhvcc, As I wrote earlier I’m a hugh fan of SET amplifiers. Matching them with the appropriate speaker is crucial for a successful outcome. Sam I don’t believe that the Sony SS AR1 is designed with the intention to be driven by SET amplifiers... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Jadis is one of those companies that just consistently has the knack of building beautiful sounding emotionally engaging amplifiers that connect the listener to the music. There's obviously something they understand and are executing right. ... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Hi Stephen, Thanks for the update. It seems clear that the Vinnie Rossi hybrid is a fabulous match with the Nenuphars. It's gratifying to read how happy you are with this current system set-up. I believe that you will remain in joyful musical b... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Hi Cal,This respectful and helpful type of decorum and behavior was pretty much the norm in an earlier era on Audiogon. There have always been differences of viewpoint amongst posters on this forum. However the way in which they were managed was ... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure StephenYour findings closely mirrors the listening impression/ findings of Srajan Ebaen in regard to the bass performance as it relates to the DF. It does make sense when considering the design objective of the driver as stated by Cube Audio. I ex... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Hi Cal and David,It’s so easy for us to lay out things for Stephen’s audio system 😊.Charles | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Excellent suggestion David. This would yield 4 different signal pathway options and no doubt that each would be distinct. Charles | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Cal,Good observation. It would be most interesting to see how the DHT preamp section of the VR mates with the S.I.T.-1 My suspicion is very well and quite likely to surpass the Pass Labs preamp in this scenario. Fun stuff.Charles | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Yet another example of why nothing substitutes for direct listening in your system (When possible). Some have had unimpressive results with high DF amplifiers and some excellent results. The Nenuphar designer and builder favors low DF amplifiers... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Keith,I’ve heard Vaxativ single driver speakers a few years back and I wasn’t blown away for certain. Thin in the midrange and bass shy. From all indications the Cube Audio Nenuphar is a much more complete and satisfying speaker. I have no reason ... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Cal,That referral to 6 Moons is a good idea. Srajan Ebaen has been an admirer and user of Zu speakers for quite some time. He has reviewed a number of their models very favorably thorough the years. He was very taken and struck by the Cube Audio N... |
