For those of you who have the Nenuphar Mini speakers, here is a longer (mix) clip from Dükkan Hifi .

Driven by the Aesthetix Mimas Integrated Amplifier.

Robert  Thanks for update on tubes.  I believe the Takatsuki are VR's preferred DHT's for the L2iSE.

Charles  I wish I knew the 300b better as a driver.  Wondering in fact if there's anyone on the thread who is driving the Nens with the 300bs, can't recall.  Would love to hear their impressions.

David  From specs and reviews I think the Absolare Hybrid Integrated would be a terrific match and the audio I hear confirms.  BTW I did try using my Townshend super tweeters with my Nenuphars and honestly could not hear that they contributed to sound quality.  Could it be amp dependent?

@stevendunn, 
I can't recall a single mention of a 300b SET amplifier and Nenuphar pairing. I believe that it would be as successful as the 2A3 SET  amplifier. Both excellent choices with different sonic signatures and presentations.

Same here. In full agreement with Charles’ post.

I can’t recall a single mention of a 300b SET amplifier and Nenuphar pairing. I believe that it would be as successful as the 2A3 SET amplifier.

Stephen, I explored various 300B options but, as you know, doubled down on the 2A3.

Going by gut feel from having the Nenuphars for two and a half years, I believe the ~8 watts from a high quality 300B amp is the "goldilocks zone" for power (in terms of driving the Nenuphars with a SET amp).

There are far more quality 300B amps (relative to the other SETs) including stereo versions; and greater availability / choice in the used marketplace. It’s interesting and surprising that we don’t have mention of 300B - Nenuphar pairings.

"It’s interesting and surprising that we don’t have mention of 300B - Nenuphar pairings."

For whatever reasons, this thread got started with a focus on solid state amplifiers and has discussed/explored tube amps only minimally. I suspect it is because Jon Ver Halen at Refined Audio (the first Cube Audio distributor in the US) uses First Watt amplifiers.
