I've heard both a Charney with Voxativ drivers and a Charney with AER drivers and the Cube Audio Nenuphar. I much prefer either Charney speakers. The bass and midbass are much more complete and rich sounding on the Charney speakers. I like the Nenuphar speaker, but, in addition to the bass deficiency, it has a more prominent midrange peak that makes it sound more like typical fullrange systems than the Charney speakers. The Charney speakers are amazingly "normal" sounding while retaining the liveliness and vivid qualities of full/extended range driver systems.
The AER driver, in particular sounds fantastic. It has more extension at the top than the Voxativ and is very smooth for a full range driver. In my opinion, it is a worthwhile upgrade.
At a fraction of the price of either, there is the Rethm Bhaava (full range driver with a built in powered woofer). This is one of the better $3,000 speakers I've heard.
