| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure At 92 db/w efficiency, whether or not something like a single-ended 300b or other small triode will work depends a lot on how loud you like to play the system. With most single driver systems, you have the BIG advantage of the speakers sounding r... | |
| Rethm Maargra Speaker: High efficiency, very easy impedance, built for SET amps. Have you heard them yourself George? I have not heard the Maargra, but I have heard the cheaper Bhaava (also with fullrange driver and powered woofers), and I thought it was very good for the money. It probably doesn't hurt that the Bhaava is qu... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Has anyone here heard the Cube Audio speakers with the active subwoofers? I am wondering what is gained and what is lost by that approach. I am not a bass freak myself, and I was not particularly concerned with the bass I heard from the Nenuphar... | |
| PROAC D48R Bass Booming Is it really the case where the speakers sound great with most recordings, but is too boomy for some? Could it be that it is still a bit boomy with most recordings, but not so troublesome? I ask because any sort of permanent fix to reduce the bo... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure I am wondering who else has heard various single driver systems and can compare the results. I would love to hear something like the big AER system with the huge back-load horn and front wave-guide horn. I know that Classic Audio has a field coi... | |
| You could work for any manufacturer, past or present... I would be sitting next to 4crowme at Western Electric. They were at the cutting edge of everything--speaker design, acoustics, amplification, radio, electric parts and tubes, you name it.geoffkait, THAT is very funny. | |
| Isolation Cones vs Cheap Cables Most often it is the case that more damping and killing of vibration is a good thing, but, it is not always the case. I heard a demonstration using progressively more extensive (and expensive) damping of vibration for a CD player. This involved ... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure It might very be the case that the show room (small hotel room) and the accompanying electronics were not ideal--they rarely are, but, I have some experience listening to gear under these circumstances so I have a rough handle on what the speakers... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure I heard the Nenuphars at the 2019 Capital Audiofest. I liked, in part, what I heard. Typical of the breed, it sounded very lively and engaging. But, again typical of the breed, it was short on deep bass, a bit lacking in warmth, a bit rough sou... | |
| Isolation Cones vs Cheap Cables Cones, footers, platforms--they are all tuning devices. As such, none are universally beneficial. For example, if a cone does its job of transferring vibrational energy from the speaker/stand to the floor, that may or may not be helpful--if the ... | |
| Do my Dynaudio Evidence Temptations require more amp? If by "more amp" you mean more power or an amp that is more capable of handling the particular load your speakers present, my answer is probably not. I am not familiar with your particular Dynaudio speaker, but, it would be ridiculous for a speak... | |
| Speaker recommendations 10 to 30k and no beryllium I like the Rockport Avior speaker. The current model is a bit out of your price range ($38,000 US), but, older used models might be available. This is a speaker on the warmer side of neutral.There are Canadian brands that you should be able to a... | |
| Klipsch Heresy IV - not what I was expecting It doesn't hurt to experiment with raising the speakers up, but, when properly set up, the image seems to float above these speakers even though the drivers are fairly close to the ground. Raising the woofer up and away from the floor increases t... | |
| New tubes...far more power?? Aside from the possibility that the older tubes were substantially worn out, such that the difference in gain was very significant, it is hard to account for why the new tubes have more gain (not necessarily more power), yet sound so much less des... | |
| PROAC D48R Bass Booming gnanasekhar,One more thing to consider--if the floor in your listening room is a suspended wooden floor, the floor could be acting as a giant sounding board which could be at least part of the problem. With such flooring, the speaker should not b... |
