| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure While I'm at it, I'm also going to post the results of the amplifier shoot out between the LTA Ultralinear and the PL SIT-3. Yes, I know, the Nenuphars are probably not fully broken in, but at around 75 hours I think the changes from here will be... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure david_ten How are your speakers setup on the Townshend platforms? Stock spikes / similar to @toetapaudio ’s OR some other arrangement? Did setting the speakers on the platforms ’force’ changes in positioning / placement? Thank you.David--I am usin... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure grannyringThe Townshend podiums are size 4 with load capacity E which starts at 85lbs so I put a couple of VPI bricks on top of each speaker since they are about 80lbs each.geoffkaitMakes sense. | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure khragonGreat news you like the synergy with the SIT-2. Look forward to hearing more.My latest development is putting the Nenuphar's on Townshend Podiums (I've been using them under my speakers for a few years). toetapaudio listed the many benefit... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure "...a bit lacking in warmth, a bit rough sounding in the upper midrange and had a pronounced peak in the treble range."Interesting that the above accurately describes what I was hearing during the first 25 hours or so of playing the Nenuphars. (A... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @david_tenAnd, yes, thanks David for pointing out Srajan's latest (which is now finished). I now have the term for what I'm hearing from the Nenuphars driven by the SIT-3: Tuscan sunshine! | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure grannyringAlthough I think I'm the newest Nenuphar owner on the block--just at 2 weeks--I'll chime in with my answer to your question regarding the speakers resolution making "below average sounding recordings sound less enjoyable or possibly bad?... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure khragonWise choice!I am thrilled with the synergy the SIT-3 has with the Nenuphars and the SIT-2 should be even better from what Srajan heard with the SIT-1.I think you'll be shocked at the difference between the SIT-2 and your other amps.You're i... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Charles, indeed the Nenuphars have remarkable transparency, in fact the most of any speaker I've ever heard, including electrostatics which I owned for many years. It is a totally relaxed, natural kind of detail that doesn't seemed forced, just pa... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Just exchanged emails with Grzegorz. He said they use multi conductor copper cables in their speakers and that he prefers copper speaker cables. | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @cal3713 What brand of silver speaker cable did you purchase? Interesting because with the SIT-3-Nenuphar combo, I prefer the WE 14ga vintage copper cable (similar I would imagine to your Dueland tinned copper). Bunch of improvements over the sil... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure I've got about 35 hours on my new Nenuphars, swapping between First Watt SIT-3 and LTA Ultralinear amps. The break-in changes to SQ have been subtle and what you would expect--increase in depth, smoother highs, tighter bass. But the difference b... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure My apologies for posting such a first blush reaction after just two days of listening to the Nenuphars, but the experience has been so extraordinary that there is an irresistible need to share--although I know there are some here who've already in... | |
| Best songs to test speakers Some great suggestions here, thanks.However, with one or two exceptions, there's very little here in the way of excellently recorded orchestral music, which I think presents a unique test for loudspeakers. Mercury Living Presence has some good st... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Thanks for your feedback, David.Once things have settled in, I'm going to audition the Sablon speaker cables, the Synergistic Research Foundations (a relatively new cable getting some good buzz) and one other, depending on what I can get either th... |
