On paper I don't see what would make the Gryphon Diablo a particularly good match with the Nenuphar given the specific design objective of this speaker. However as has been shown before there's no substitute for actually listening and judging.

I don't know why granite would necessarily be superior to the original Nenuphar cabinet. This is a very well thought out cabinet to match the superb driver and no doubt is a major factor in the overall sound quality.

Related to the cabs...the finish anyway...they are going to start offering multiple Wood Veneer finishes you can choose instead of just the Black/White option. Im looking forward to seeing those designs.

Wood veneers would be interesting. The black can be a bit hulking, kind of like a Carnac stone in your living room. :-)

dear all, 
have anyone compared the sonic differences between Cube Audio Nenuphar vs any of Reference 3A speakers? just curious how do they sound since 3A do not use crossover in their main driver too, and with only a cap before the tweeter, i guess the soundstaging , imaging, speed, dynamics etc.. generally very similar ? Thanks for any comments.

as I looking towards getting a pair myself, I would like feedback on the following:
1. any suggestions on a solid or tube integrated amp not costing a fortune ?

2. for those who are using SIT-3, what preamp are you using ?
@david_ten I see that you are using Edensound spikes. Did you get the extra large solid brass spike for the front and regular hemispikes for the back ? In that case, did it match the original rack angle ?
