Did anyone try LTA Z10 with the Cubes ? I hope it has enough to power the Nenuphars. The spec doesn't list much details but folks at LTA said they use low -ive feedback and low DF. 
Anyone have compared the Z10 to a SIT-3 ?
Why is a low damping factor (high output impedance) desirable for these speakers?  Is the frequency response  change from the high output impedance and the impedance curve of the speaker a favorable interaction?

As a fan of low output tube amps, many of which have typically high output impedance (low damping factor), I generally don't find low damping factor to be a big deal, but, I never thought of it as a positive attribute.  

@doni  Don, if you haven't done so, I suggest reaching out to Jon Ver Halen, the US importer for Cube Audio. He may be able to connect you with a client in your area should the client be willing, given the current situation.

Larry,
The damping factor and amplifier output impedance considerations were discussed in ample detail in the original Nenuphar review in 6 Moons several years ago. The driver designer and builder explains why this approach was chosen. Probably explained on their website as well.
