| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Yes, David, he said 1.5 to 2 weeks and that he would post about the whole process on his website once he knew more. This is going to present another possible upgrade opportunity: to replace hook up wire while driver is being upgraded. Wire is ap... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Assuming of course the new drivers are an easily discernible upgrade. | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure I emailed Jon at Refined Audio and he said that the driver upgrade would require sending him original drivers and his replacing “the cones” for a price of “roughly $1500”. I think this is a fair deal from Cube Audio. | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure david_ten No I haven't tried raising my listening position--not really practical. Trying to figure out now whether I like center of driver at ear level or not... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure david_ten I was curious about the platforms and since my last iteration was with the speakers on their spikes I've done a little experimenting. I found that I much prefer the Stillpoints Ultra SS in place of the front spikes! I'm not sure if I l... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure David--I have spent most of the day listening to my Nens with and without the Townshend speaker platforms. Here are my notes:With platforms:Greater sense of ambient space, definitely more soundstage depth and air. Highs a little rolled off and/o... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure kw6 The Nenuphar's have ten inch drivers. And those drivers deliver a ton of top end air. Have you read reviews at 6 Moons, Stereo Times and avshowrooms among others? They might help overcome your concerns about a single wideband driver. | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure david_ten Yes the Townshend platforms are still under the Nens. Sometime ago I meant to take them out to make sure they were beneficial but things were sounding so good I never did. However, since experiencing the performance boost with the smal... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure kw6 The KEF KC62 has "two 6.5 inch force cancelling drive units powered by 1,000W RMS of specially designed Class D amplification"--so not even 8 inch.As to your questions about things I can hear, yes in spades to all but that was before the sub w... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure BTW I should make clear that my previous post regarding sub woofing the Nens is not meant to be a blanket recommendation to do same. My set up puts the speakers far from corners, sidewalls and front wall (to emphasize breadth and depth of soundst... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure rwpollock I am happily using Shunyata Alpha v2 speaker cables.The Case for BaseOver the past few weeks I've been auditioning a KEF KC62 subwoofer with my Nenuphars. I did this not because I'm a base head or because I felt the Nens lacking down th... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure splunders I listen to Classical, Jazz, world music and a lot of contemporary categories including pop (but not including heavy metal, etc.). The Nens have outperformed all previous speakers by a margin, including Shindo Petite Latours, Audio Phy... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure dspringham Glad making the blind leap to the Nenuphars worked out. I think many on this thread had to do the same, as did I.The best option for matching the Decware triode SETs using the VR L2iSE as DHT pre is not exactly clear to me. Since I p... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure dspringham Your post is scarily prescient regarding my own curiosity over pairing a Decware SET with the Nens fronted by the L2iSE as pre. In fact, I just recently queried a new Cube Audio dealer in California who says he also represents Decware ... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure ricevs Do you own speakers made with Cube Audio drivers or similar widebanders? Do you know anyone who owns complete (with cabinet) Cube Audio speakers who has replaced the wire as you suggest? Do you have a recommendation for "some great soundi... |
