Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
I demoed the speakers last night and I'm impressed enough that I will follow that up with a home audition.

I'll be auditioning them with my 45 amp in a week or two and will report back.Art Dudley seems to have liked them at the Montreal show in March. 
Advice and help understanding, choosing a Widebander / Single Full Range Driver speaker?
I'll be auditioning a pair in the next week or two.Thanks for the update. 
Easy to drive, outstandingly natural sound from 40-50 Hz up.....AN-E, O/96, others?
Thanks Duke.  I've been thinking of doing that, at your suggestion, and have been looking at the Townshend maximum supertweeters.  I'll add one thing...Sometimes it's as if my system has even less jump after 2 or 3 hours of listening. I've often w...

I had it made by my local technician. I was skeptical that it would sound good but it really worked out great.

mitch2,I actually do use a high-pass filter between the preamp and the main amp. The main speakers are now down 3dB at 60Hz (9dB at 30Hz etc.). The device is passive and uses a small Audio Note UK capacitor.  This takes a lot of strain off the m...

Duke,I agree with what you say: "a delicious richness about them that really stood out from the crowd. One could easily get totally lost in the music listening to them. My impression was that they’d be totally non-fatiguing to listen to all day lo...

I've had Audio Notes for the past 7 years and haven't found anything yet to replace them.  Maybe I never will.

Thank you very much for the compliments Charles.  I'll be sure to post my listening impressions of this demo and any other demos that I do.  I suspect that I will also be demoing the Odeon No. 28/3.

Thanks Charles.  My amp is made by Thomas Mayer and his designs and builds are, I believe, generally well respected.  I think it should be a good match for the speakers.  I tend to use 45s more than 2A3s but I will bring both tube types to the aud...

I have a demo of the Cube Audio Nenuphar arranged for early April.  These speakers are at the top of my shortlist.  I'm fortunate to be able to demo them using my 45/2A3 amp.  (The manufacturer uses a 45/2A3 amp at shows.)

...and I can vouch for Duke's swarm subwoofer system.  It's really transformed my room.

The full range speaker at the top of my list is the Cube Audio Nenuphar.  It has a 10" driver that is made in-house.  I've also heard good things about the full range drivers from AER.  My exposure to full range speakers is, however, very limited....

I have Duke's "Swarm" subwoofer system but have never heard his regular speakers.

I did like the Hornings I heard at a show once but I found that the bass woofers did not integrate with the driver for the highs and mids. It could have been the room, but it sounded like two completely different speakers.
