I've been listening to the Nenuphar with IsoAcoustics GAIA II for a few days now.. so far I can say that it's improved the center image and increased depth, really enjoy the Cube even more now.  Also noticed improved treble, I think that maybe b...

Thanks for the response guys.. couple reasons, mostly I got the Gaia with a deal so thought I give them a try, and my listening room is in the garage, with the floor slope downward already, at what I think is around half (or maybe a bit more) comp...

Has anyone replace the rear rubber feet with something else?  How do you handle the mount?  I wanted to try isoacoustic Gaia but can only replace the front spikes since they are threaded and the rear ones are just wood screw.

Heads up fellow Nenuphar owners, there is a First Watt SIT-2 listing on USAM. 
Floor standing speaker recommendations new or used, $10,000 and under

Received my Nenuphar..https://photos.app.goo.gl/sWgZmZ8UhqSVTbgw5You guys are right on the amp pairing, the best pairing is with the SIT-2, Srajan is spot on in his assessment. SIT-2 with its low damping factor brought life to the music, there’s d...
