Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure

@thieliste  I can’t comment about the Brinkmann since I haven’t tried.

The following are possible contenders

Tektron which Cube themselves use at shows
First Watt which the USA distributor uses with Cubes at shows
ACG which AVS has used
VR from this thread
Bakoon 13R which Srajan of Six Moons recommended plus myself
Found as used by the OP

There may be others of course.

From my point of view the size/weight/cost of some of the alternatives is not appealing to me.

I know very well Aries Cerat, i've auditioned the Genus with my Kennerton headphones and the big monoblocks in a full Aries Cerat system.Best SET IMO.I would probably choose the Genus to drive Nenuphars.

The Nenuphars are so easily driven it seems that the beastly Aries Cerat amplifiers would be overkill in this specific application. I’m not doubting the sound quality of these  massive amplifiers.

Thanks for a very educational thread.  I don't know if this can be answered directly, but feel free to speculate.  How much of the loudspeaker's sound quality is attributable to its full range, crossoverless design vs. its fanatical and over the top construction?

I am quiet happy with the SIT-3 (both sound and power-wise) and am thinking of either investing in a better preamp or a good tube integrated. The VR L2i at $19k is out of budget and so is the AC. Has anyone paired a good integrated at a reasonable lower price, say 10K or somewhere in that range, give or take ?
