@david_ten I'm always open to suggestions but since this area is part of our main living room I have to balance the WAF in regards to placement. I'm also having a new cabinet built that will be about 3-4" wider than the current one. The listening spot is about 9-10' from the speakers. The sofa backs up to a 1/2wall that's part of a stairwell that goes downstairs. So there's not a full rear wall until about 6-8' behind the listening area. I'll take a better picture of the entire space this weekend.
@abd1, 
Frankly I am impressed with the sound quality you have achieved given the obvious compromised speaker positioning that circumstances have dictated. Commendable the Nenuphars are performing this well. 
If you could some how managed to improve the  speaker placement I believe that you would increase the Nenuphar's performance substantially.

Hey David,

Have you found any speaker colorations having lived with them for awhile? Does it have treble information that reveals the air and hall of the recording?

Down the road maybe interested in the 8" if it lives up to the hype.
@abd1  Thanks for the additional details about your room and the real life tradeoffs we all have to accept.

I think you mentioned you were house hunting in a previous post? Maybe revisit once you are in your new space?
@kw6

Yes, regarding:

No, regarding:

However, I am nowhere close to being an expert on the fundamental elements of music. ...ymmv

As a note, I consider the entire system and room to be responsible for music reproduction. Isolating the Nenuphars from ’this’ is, in my opinion, problematic. Especially so for the amplifier - speaker - speaker cable unit, which I regard to be a ’singular organism.’
