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

Thanks David!

Also new kid on the block! The new Zen speakers with 15 inch open baffle sounds intriguing. Anyone here heard them?

At the Capital Audiofest, I got to hear the Cube Nenuphar Basis speaker in a very large conference room setup, with the speakers set far away from any room boundaries.  The electronics included a particularly rare First Watt amplifier.

The sound of the setup was fantastic--rich, harmonically dense and complete, relaxed and natural sounding while remaining lively.  This was among the best sounds I heard at the show.  The mild reservations I had about the sound of the 10" Nenuphar systems I've heard before at shows, were completely non-existent in this system--no upper midrange peak or tendency to "shout" and superb performance with music that required weight, such as full scale classical music.  In absolute terms, a very good sounding system, and at its price, a fantastic bargain.

It's rather difficult to separate out how much the room, as well as the recording position, is contributing to the sound.

Sounds like highlighting upper mid - lower height frequencies.
