Has anyone here heard the Cube Audio speakers with the active subwoofers?  I am wondering what is gained and what is lost by that approach.  I am not a bass freak myself, and I was not particularly concerned with the bass I heard from the Nenuphar.  But, from my experience with other full range drivers, adding other drivers changes the sound in so many different ways.

The active subwoofer would also substantially reduce the power requirements for powering the full-range driver.  That would bring into play many of the ultra low-powered tube amps I like.
Good question larryi, but unfortunately I haven’t been able to audition the versions with active subwoofers, that was one of the reasons for going to Munich but unfortunately that event has been cancelled. I have to say I don’t feel that I’m missing out on bass, with either the 8 inch or 10 inch Nenuphar’s.
Steven, the LTA and SIT 3 sound like excellent choices. I’m hoping I might be able to try both at some point to compare with the Bakoon 13R. For me the fact that the Bakoon will have a matching dac enabling JET SATRI through BNC is important to me. Apart from the sound the minimal concept of their designs very much appeals.

In the photo I did have them with very little toe in, was trying them out.  Now I had them more toe in.. still playing around with placement.
I did not mention the review with any intent to draw you away from your current amp, just for general info

@douglas_schroeder   I'm open to learning and understood your post as such. Thank you again.

My 2A3 amps are a delightful pairing for the Nenuphars (based on my needs / preferences). That doesn't mean I am not open to experimenting with other options, including higher output SET amps.
