| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Hi deepfield, Thanks for posting your listening impressions of the Cube Audio speakers. I do not doubt a word you have written.

| Tekton or Klipsch Magico,As Al noted, your Rega Brio amp provides 40 db of gain which is very high re)active to many other amplifers. I’d bet that your Tube Cube amplifier gain output is likely in the range of roughly 25 db. This would be a much more suitable/flexi... | |
| Tekton or Klipsch Magico,There are Double Impact owners with rooms of similar size who've reported successful outcomes. Perhaps some modest room treatment could prove to be effective. Al raised a pertinent point regarding system gain and using higher sensitivity sp... | |
| Tekton or Klipsch Hello medigo, You are quite impressed with the sound of the Klipsch Heresy so I suspect you will very likely enjoy the Forte as as much and possibly more so. I am curious as to your upcoming Forte listening session, keep us posted.I’ve heard the T... | |
| 2019 300B tubes that are worth the money? My previous tube mono blocks used the 6SN7 as drivers and I used vintage Syvania and RCA. They were early to mid 1950s. The 6EM7 driver (1950s) and Mullard rectifier (early 1960s) tubes in my current 300b SET are both vintage and very good. I pers... | |
| 2019 300B tubes that are worth the money? IMO you can not go wrong with either the EML or KR 300bs. I used a loaned pair of the KR 300b XLS in my amplifier and they were exceptionally good sounding. Both brands are upper tier quality Czech tubes. If the KR has similar longevity as the E... | |
| 2019 300B tubes that are worth the money? Some owners of very early EML XLS are reporting their tubes are approaching 40,000 hours and still test/measure very well. that's a remarkable accomplishment by any standard. Further more they have truly excellent sound quality. Expensive ye... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure I wouldn’t make the assumption that the Cube Audio Nenuphar suffers from some "common" whizzer limitation. Based on all accounts I’ve have been exposed to the Nenuphar is in a completely different category of performance/design success. Generaliza... | |

| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure David,I’m aware of how much you have enjoyed listening to the Tekton D,I. SEs and your genuine admiration of them. I’ve heard the SEs and can vouch for their excellent sound quality. With the Nenuphar you’ve moved into a very different direction ... | |
| 2019 300B tubes that are worth the money? Argonsteele, If you’re really happy with your current 300b tubes you may just want to leave things as they are. I can tell from actual ownership experience the premium level 300bs are worth their cost.Takatsuki a superb sounding Japanese 300b. How... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Hi exlibris, I get your point and understand the subjectivity we all experience with listening. No doubt that both the Nenuphar and Odeon horns are excellent sounding speakers but presenting their own individual sound/sonic character. Charles | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure A very key aspect regarding the Nenuphar is it was designed 'specifically ' to be driven by SET amplifiers with high output impedance/ very low damping factor (DF). I could imagine a perceived "dryness" to the sound of this speaker if the amplifie... |
