| Really Inexpensive Systems That Sounded Great? KEF LS50 driven by a good entry level integrated (LUMIN M1, Simon Audio AIO, …) Crazy potential when paired with serious amps and complemented by a Sub Next level up is Boenicke W5 speakers driven by crayon CIA-1T amp and the source/dac if you... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Sound advice here. The MU1 is one of the best out there, only your ears can tell if it is the right one for you. I’ve selected it as my reference streamer, my best results are thru AES with a Jorma digital cable. | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure A typo indeed. V2 covers a wider frequency range (lower & higher with a slightly more balanced mid-range if you ask me). I don’t have a lot of direct experience of the new bass extension as I use Cube’s V2 10’’ monitors and complement with t... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @stephendunn Good man, welcome to Enleum. Stunning amp and extraordinary pairing with the Nenuphars. Your next move should be to try the cube audio Sub 12’’ (I use one only in a 36sqm room, positioned ~80cm closer to the listening position to ... | |
| High End Intergraded comparisons, Marantz, McIntosh, Levinson, Luxman.... If you are looking for the ultimate integrated cost will go up but sound quality will stun you. I tried more than 20 and landed on - Ypsilon Phaeton (tube preamp) - Vinnie Rossi L2iSE with Tak300B tubes - Enleum amp23r (for speakers >90db) ... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Yes 10 inch drivers. To change drivers: remove 4 bolts for the existing driver, remove it from the cabinet, unplug the wires (its a plug), then reverse the process for installing the new driver. Drivers are heavy, you need someone to help. I’d s... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Thanks Toetapaudio. Charles, fair enough. That’s why I shared what my others components are so you can get an idea of my starting point & preferences. Between us I was perfectly happy with V1… with V2 I am just happier 😁 To put things in p... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure V1 and V2 back and forth. It takes 2 people only a few minutes to change the drivers. And yes, it’s my personal judgment 😎 Btw, when prompted, Srajan preferred the V2 (scroll down few letters till you find the one on Nenuphars V2) https://6moon... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure No change, still amazing ☺️ V2 it’s a welcome evolution (no revolution). As I write this I am listening to Grant Green’s Idle Moments masterpiece. With the V1 the Gibson and the saxophone edged on the shiny/dominant side creating a sense of imba... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure V2 drivers for my Nenuphars Monitors (coupled with a Sub 12) arrived 10 days ago. Run them 24/7 for a week, then started listening seriously. V2 is a more refined version of the original F10neo drivers: it does not lose anything (the mid-range m... | |
| Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment What a great thread! 1. Cube Audio Nenuphars 10’’ monitors + 12’’ sub. Widebanders at their best. 2. SoundKaos Vox3A speakers, the best compact speaker I know of 3. Enleum Amp23R amplifier … a worthy successor to the Bakooon Amp12R, in my bo... | |
| How many of you are digital only systems? 80% digital growing to 100% since the acquisition of the Grimm MU1 streamer and the Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC. This combo is the first to have me completely fulfilled on the digital experience (a significant step up from Lumin & Denafrips gear) | |
| Looking for preamp which is good at BOTH single-ended AND balanced output If you don’t need an active pre-amp, the IcON 4pro does both single ended and balanced input/output and provides outstanding sound quality. http://hifiknights.com/reviews/preamplifiers/icon-4pro/ | |
| What's up with Vinnie Rossi L2i SE? It’s an excellent integrated with a sweet tube preamp section. I have moved into high sensitivity widebanders which work best with a low power SIT3. My L2iSE will be put up for sale soon. Silver, fully loaded (dac and phono preamp), new stock tu... | |
| How much difference in Sound quality can be expected from different streamers? Here’s my pecking order among the different streamers I own: sonos zp90, auralic Aries, lumin M1, Roon Nucleus, Soundware 300ref (more of a reclocker with roon capabilities), lumin S1, Grim MU-1. The arrival of the Grim has led me to say goodbye t... |
