| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure At the risk of straying too far afield from the subject of this thread-- although really isn’t the subject the Nenuphar speakers and how to optimize them?--I want to report on an optimizer that’s a little further down the chain of the typical pair... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Yes, I meant podiums not platforms. | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure toetapaudioThanks for the recommendation. Just ordered them--they are certainly a better resistor than the one I'm using (which Vinnie probably suggested since we didn't know whether it would work). We'll see if they make a difference. david_te... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Robert,The resistors were connected between the positive output of the amp and positive speaker cable connector. So I wound one end around the WBT positive terminal of the VR and the other end I wound around the banana plug of the speaker cable. ... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Not to change the subject, unless it's sound quality with the Nenuphars, but I just did something that improved the SQ more than any black or silver box or cable or cartridge I've ever tried. I changed the position of my speakers. I know, I know... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure rwpollockLook forward to hearing more! | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure charles1dad & othersAccording to Vinnie's email below the resistor changed the output impedance of the amp to 1 ohm and did not change the speakers' impedance. Since the stated output impedance of the L2iSE is 0.1ohm the resistor increased th... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Want to correct an error in the type of resistor mentioned above. I copied and pasted the Parts Connexion listing for the part which is actually a 1 ohm resister not a 100 ohm resistor as the listing states. Which interestingly enough brings the... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure I'm reporting on impact of adding a jantzen-audio-100-ohm-10-watt-audio-grade-superes-resistor--255-944 to each of the positive speaker terms on the Vinnie Rossi L2iSE. This lowered the damping factor driving the Nenuphars from 800 to 80 and was ... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure debit_gI'm not sure whether it was in this thread or somewhere else, but I read that someone was very happy pairing the Nenuphars with the Line Magnetic 845 Premium integrated. Actually I think several in their line would make good mates--damping... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure BTW I contacted Vinnie Rossi to give him my congrats on the L2iSE and mentioned the high damping factor that wasn’t supposed to work with the Nenuphars. He suggested adding a 10 ohm resistor to the positive speaker terminals to see if that made a ... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Yes, those were my amps. Sorry Robert didn’t know you were looking. | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure rivecsI've thought about this, but removing the drivers, let alone soldering, was too intimidating for me--like you say.Obvious questions are: 1. what kind of wire? silver? copper? both?2. and once you have the right wire why not run it directl... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Thanks, David. There are indeed a number of pathways to pursue with the combination of the L2i and SIT 1s. But before I get started I wanted to make sure that the high damping factor of the L2i driving the Nenuphar was a non issue. Maybe the Ray B... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Cal and Charles,Yes, it is definitely on my list to audition with the L2i acting solely as a DHT pre amp driving the SIT-1s. I have a hunch about it but won't say because as Charles says you just don't know until you listen.The problem is tearing... |
