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

Should have my Blue Nenuphar Mini’s by the end of the month.

@riaa  Great news!!! 

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.

Agree 100% David.
With this speaker I'd prefer tubes (I just like what tubes do). However no question that there has been much success reported by  those who have chosen solid state amplifiers. Superb outcomes are possible with either.

@sim_audio_nerd, 
I've never owned the Coincident "Victory" models but have the Coincident  Total Eclipse II and love them. If I were to change speakers the Nenuphars would be high on a very short list.  I don't believe that you'll have any regrets if you acquire them.
