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

David 10 I’m going to be listening to the Nenuphar 8s in a couple weeks when we get back home from sunny Florida , really look forward to that listening event , I’ve been really stumped what I want speaker wise.

We recently down sized our home and gone is my listening room above the garage along with my Magnapan speakers and Rolland amps , I now have a much smaller room where such a speaker like Cube Audio Nenuphar could possibly perform well in .
David I just noticed you’ve done some radical changes to your system I’d like to ask about your Synergistic conditioner and power cords replacing the P.I. Audio Uber and Triode wires , you can pm me if you like , thanks .

Just to confirm that you can add a sub at a later date to either 8 or 10 inch Nenuphar’s if you so wish.

@in_shore   I'll send a PM now.

I have experienced the same phenomime you have eluded to in your very informative posts. Four months ago, I never heard of a 2A3 or 45 DHT until an EE friend/designer mentioned that it is the most refined tube one can acquire and that started the ball rolling since he mentioned that 2 Watts would drive my 98 Db+ speakers...

Two months later, Triode Lab 2A3 Monos 4.5 Watts with Hashimoto Output Transformers arrives and the clarity and dimensionality is unmistakable especially if you have efficient speakers of 98 Db+.

None of the KT88 Amps or SET 805 with 300B as drivers I have owned has the refinement, separation, depth, sound staging, transparency or the flow of sound that those DHT provides, it’s just magical and I believe the sound quality is related to its simplistic design.

I also have many friend owning 2A3 Amps and have a collection of NOS Tubes and the verdict is the JJ 2A3-40 and that’s what I’m using with some Shuguang 2A3C as back-ups which are quite good as well.

The JJ 2A3 40 has a reputation as a very good sounding tube for reasonable cost. I be quite curious as how it compares to the EML 2A3 solid plate (SP) David currently uses. David if you ever decide to try the JJ I’d be interested in how it fared against your excellent (My opinion) EML in your high resolution system that seems to easily bare all sonic nuance/subtleties. This would informative.
