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

@philipwu Philip, check out Srajan Ebaen’s very recent review of Aurai Audio’s M1 Classic speaker. At the very end of the review (bottom of the last page / Page 11), Srajan compares the M1 to the Cube Audio Neuphar.

I do not know if the Reference 3A speakers are similar to the Aurai M1’s, or if the comparison is apt,...but his short summary relative to the Nenuphar might provide insight.

@debjit_g You are correct. Eden Sound Extra Large Solid Brass Spikes in the front AND Regular Hemispikes in the rear.

The angle / tilt (front to back) is very close to the original. It resulted in a slight increase in height.

Overall, the improvement in sound quality and performance (on my hardwood suspended flooring) was significant and immediately heard and experienced versus the stock footers.

SIT-1 monos (when they can be found) are much more expensive than than the SIT-3s. Occasionally you will find a SIT-2 for sale, usually cheaper than a 3. The SIT-2 is stereo and provides that immediacy of a tube SET amp. The Bakoon 13R integrated ($5K used) sounds good with Nenuphars, although I prefer going FirstWatt.

For a preamp, the Pass Lab ones make for a great combo. On the tube side I have used LTA and Backert, with Backert being my preferred choice. Easy tube rolling if you enjoy that.

I bought my SIT-1 Mono's (Demo's) for about $500 more than what the SIT-3 goes for new.
