Thanks Charles, I too enjoy your input, which reflects a lot more accumulated knowledge than I have about our hobby (I almost said sport, moving/auditioning a lot of equipment can give it that edge).  

And yes, riaa_award, I think you're spot on regarding Huff (he did sell the VR to help finance a move) and every other month comes a once in a lifetime component.  However, I'm a sucker for his enthusiasm and no doubt heart-felt certainty he's just stumbled on sliced bread.  I read too many reviews where I'm at a loss whether the item reviewed even elicited an emotional response (the purpose of music think some).  If I'm left wondering, probably not.

Hi everyone,

First of all as someone else has mentioned, I find this thread very helpful, civilized and amazed that people are so respectful to each other’s opinion/suggestions. Kudos to everyone on this thread!

My current speakers are Coincident Super Victory IIIs and I am strongly considering the Nenuphars. Nothing wrong with my current speakers but I am looking for wider soundstage and increased depth and details in low level listening.

My room dimensions are
Height - 7’10
Width - 15’7
Length - 18 feet

I have some treatments in the room. My preamp is EAR Yoshino 868PL and power amp is Simaudio Moon.

I heard the speakers briefly at my dealer but going to audition more seriously soon. My guess is that if I do fall in love and decide to get it, I would have to change my power amp.

I am new to tubes and having a tube pre is more than enough for me. Do I have to get a tube amp for the Nenuphars? Apart from the Bakoon and SIT-3 mentioned here, are there other SS amps that I should consider? Given my room dimensions, will the Nenuphars work?

@sim_audio_nerd Wonderful to hear the thread has been helpful!!!

Yes, regarding: "Given my room dimensions, will the Nenuphars work?"

No, regarding: "Do I have to get a tube amp for the Nenuphars?" However, [in my personal opinion] tube amplification is the way to go with respect the Nenuphars.

There are trade-offs with either approach. Matching YOUR needs and preferences should take priority.
