Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
Heard them at shows only and didn’t leave any real kind of impression. I’ve heard they can shout at higher volumes so may not be for me - I was jamming Daft Punk in the 90s last night :) I tried to hear the Cessaro Wagner at Jeff’s, but he cancell... 
Wilson Audio looking to compare Sasha Daw to Alexia 2
The DAW is more coherent and less boomy than the Alexia 2 - not as big sounding though. You can see the design changes in the Stereophile reviews of both + measurements. 
What interesting gear has been realeased since 2020?

Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
Thanks for the kind works, @charles1dad - I’ve really tried to be honest and level with folks about what I hear without reviewer-speak. I’d love to report back on the Cubes, but would have to fly to Chicago or NY to demo. I’m a bit concerned about... 
I nominate this company as building best speakers!
Stenheim sounds like aluminum Harbeth to me, no surprise you’re a fan. Just save up for the 5s, not 3s. 
LAMM M1.2 - Feedback - Advice - Please - anyone heard these?
Lamm hybrids with Focal makes a lot of sense to me. As would BAT at a lower price level.Wouldnt buy dart thinking tube preamp- really goes best with his own preamp. 
Joseph Audio dealer in the northeast?

Classe Delta Stereo Amplifier
Also, it’s power isn’t rated 20-20,000khz but at 1khz. Kinda weak sauce  
Upgrading from Thiel 2.7 to Sonus Faber or Focal???
Can’t imagine a Thiel owner liking Vandys though. Opposite tonally  
Searching for an amp to pair with Rockport Atria II
Tough to drive, but great speakers. A pair on Ampzillas will sound excellent on them, talk to Underwood Hifi. Beat Pass X350.8 and some others for me. 
Speaker Thoughts - YG Acoustics Hailey 2.2 vs Magico S5 MK II
 Was just saying that both Magico and YG can sound polite.  
Speaker Thoughts - YG Acoustics Hailey 2.2 vs Magico S5 MK II
very interesting story, fsmithjack - thanks for sharing. i know exactly what you mean by polite. i chose YG over Magico as i find them more alive and microdynamic, but certainly can still hear some of what you speak about.  
Suncoast Audio experience
Mikes a great guy. The guy who got banned from his forum deserved it. 
Mágico M6 vs Big Wilson speakers
You might get better responses on WBF for this kind of inquiry  
Looking for new (to me) Speakers for Leben CS300XS---Devore, Harbeth, or Reference 3A?
I wouldn't let anyone bring their amp into my home and try it on my speakers before purchase. In fact, my system isn't an audition period for anyone. Learned that lesson long ago.
