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

@cal3713 thanks for pointing out the typo! I should've checked it. 

@stephendunn  I'll keep you posted as I make progress on the room treatment. I'm trying to be minimalist about it because the room has to double as a living room so I don't want to overwhelm the space with audio gear (though I probably lost that battle already...). The main issue is that the room has 10' ceilings and big windows so there's quite a bit of high frequency ringing in addition to the usual low/mid boominess. I put a 6' piece of homasote board on one large, empty wall which helped calm things down. Also I bought a few pieces of 4" thick rock wool insulation to experiment. Last night I put pieces of the insulation at the first reflection points and that made a noticeable and positive difference, more so than in the back corners, but it also felt a bit overdamped to me. So I can see the point of products like the Stillpoints Apertures that do a mix of absorption and diffusion.  

btw I didn't mean to sound too fanboyish in my previous post - just thought the EHTs deserve a mention and i'd love to hear from anyone else who has experience with them. They're the only Thoress amps I've heard and they're the kind of component that just has an certain "rightness" about the sound. 

No need to apologize for loving your gear!

I'd never heard of the amps and always enjoy reading about anything new that's carefully made. Whatever you think about 6moons, you've got to appreciate the concerted effort to show internals and discuss design decisions. At least there's some objective information there to learn from and use to supplement the usual subjective adjectives.

I've been trying out a new pair of Nenuphars for about a week now and I'm mighty impressed

@jollytinker  Congratulations. It's wonderful to hear you are enjoying them paired with your Thoress EHT monos.  Looking forward to hearing more!

Question for Stephen:
IIRC, the Vinnie Rossi integrated has a pre-out. Did you listen to the DHT preamp feeding your SIT amps?

I did listen to the VR L2i SE driving the SIT-1's though its DHT preamp stage with the ELROG 300bs.  It improved the SIT's  soundstage and it's lower mid-range very slightly from the PL XP-32 which I thought was heaven with the SIT-1s. But the L2i-SE straight up beat out the XP-32/SIT-1 combo with more extended and open highs, a more detailed lower mid-range and more powerful and tuneful bass (I took notes.) Overall it sounded more present and dynamic, closer to live music.  It was not a difference you had to A/B to get the gist of.  I was shocked, thinking I was doing my dealer friend a favor by giving the VR a spin with the Nenuphar's.  He was just curious.
