I'm interested to hear how your journey turns out. The 6Moons and AV Showrooms reviews have peaked my interest in the Cube Audio Nenuphar.
Advice and help understanding, choosing a Widebander / Single Full Range Driver speaker?
I'm considering a second set of speakers for my primary system.
I'm satisfied and very happy with my current primary speakers (Tekton Design SEs), so this isn't about a replacement speaker, but I have been looking for something that is different enough from my Tektons, in terms of speaker type and design, etc.
My current top choices being Sound Labs or Cube Audio. Horns, maybe.
Srajan Ebaen's review of the Bliss C a year ago was what first exposed me to Cube Audio and his more recent review of the Nenuphar is stellar. Both reviews are copied in my follow-up post below.
I've been 'somewhat' exposed to full range drivers (or nearly so, with augmentation) as I've owned Zu Audio and Vaughn Loudspeakers and have been exposed to Teresonic speakers and Voxativ drivers. Still, I'm a neophyte with regards to this speaker type (single full-range driver).
Would love to learn more about the pros and cons of owning a true wide-bander and issues, pitfalls, etc. I should consider before moving forward.
Leaving this very general and open. Let's keep budget out of this also (I don't want to complicate the discussion).
More on my system and room and preferences in subsequent posts.
Thanks!
(BTW - I did search the forums and there is 1 wide bander thread and 6 full range driver threads. None apply directly, but I will review each to see what I can pull out that may be relevant).
