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

The Valvet E2se arrived last night.  It’s still in early run-in mode but it’s potential with the Nenuphars it’s clear and exciting.  Despite it’s 12W/8ohms rating it punches above its weight and features quite a stunning ‘presence’, reminding me the type of drive & authority that the likes of the Ypsilon Phaeton are capable of. More in a couple of weeks after proper run-in but I thought you’d appreciate the update.  

@vinpic Thanks for the update. Comparing it to the Ypsilon Phaeton says a lot!

Valvet’s AE4s are on my radar to explore / experience a higher watt and solid state pairing for the Nenuphars; and to serve as a ’book end’ in terms of differences from my 2A3 amps.

Looking forward to your updates as you run the E2SEs in.

@vinpic, 
Agree with David that favorable comparison to the Ypsiplon is high praise. Valvet amplifiers are  consistently well regarded.

@david_ten how did you install the rear brass bumpers on your Cubes? Did you have to install threaded inserts? Thanks 

@abd1  I went with the unthreaded version of these:

I used commercial / industrial grade double sided adhesive discs.  I have not had any slippage.

The bottom rear cabinet area can be drilled, but it is tricky and there is a chance one may damage/crack the finish.
