| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @debjit_g I too have been experimenting with the Carbon Tuning discs. The purple ones placed on my Shunyata Alpha V2 speaker cables brought the highs more forward, irritatingly so for some recordings. (I've certainly forgotten about irritating h... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @milhomes My one addition to David's thorough response is that you consider adding a subwoofer to the Nenuphars--either the Cube Audio 10" or 12" especially if you want to keep the Nens away from the front wall to maximize sound staging. And it wi... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @onsionsi Thanks for posting review of Enleum 23R as headphone amp. Here's a review with detailed analysis of Enleum driving SoundKaos speakers: http://hifiknights.com/reviews/amplifiers/enleum-amp-23r/ | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @david_ten Congrats on adding Taiko server. What DAC will you use with it? | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @david_ten I will be auditioning a Playback Designs MPD-8 Dream DAC in March. And sometime April/May I will audition the Magnepan LRS speakers driven by the VR L2iSE. I’ll also be adding some room treatments in incremental stages. And I’ll co... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @vinpic Yes, I think the Cube Audio sub is the next step, although I'm thinking of the 10" since my room is slightly smaller than yours. Right now I'm using a KEF KC62--a mini sub that does a credible job. @david_ten I prefer both the Enleum... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure For the past several weeks I've been listening to two extraordinary amplifiers, the Enleum 23R and the Decware Super Zen 25th Anniversary Edition, both achieving the most engaging synergy with the the Nenuphars I've experienced yet. These amps ele... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure David, yes I will be evaluating headphone performance as well especially since the mystery amp, a Decware Taboo MK IV, is actually a headphone amp that is also designed to drive speakers. My current long time headphone amp is a Melos SHA 1 which, ... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Happy to report that I've been successful in my quest to acquire a used Decware Zen Triode 25th Anniversary amp (about six months old) and the Enleum 23R amp (new). The Decware should be here in a few days and the Enleum will leave Korea shortly.... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Happy New Year everyone! I just want to say that this thread has been a bright spot over the last two not all together bright years and continues to engage, amuse and enlighten. David has done a great job keeping us on task and sharing our discove... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Vinpic Thanks for your impressions of the V2 drivers. You didn’t mention soundstage or imaging which I assume meant no change but just wanted to check. | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Perhaps the most important quality of the Nenuphar's--for me--is their ability, with the right amp, etc., to create a bewitching or what SE described as a psychotropic sense of presence. In describing the sound of the upgraded driver, SE claims i... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure toetapaudio Yes, I will post impressions in a separate thread. Have about 6 hours on it right now. There are so many filters and combinations that I've hardly scratched the surface. First raw impression: GIANT KILLER, beware. | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure mozartfan Can't be 100% sure unless you audition them obviously, which I can't. But, as I've intimated, I would trust Srajan's recommendation. Jon is estimating turn around time. I don't think he's done an upgrade yet. He's a very straight up... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure The iFi Pro iDSD Signature would be for a second system although I wouldn’t be surprised if it could hold its own against my Totaldac d-1 dual. We’ll see. All reviewers I know of have "self imposed and rationalized limitations" so you have to pic... |
