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

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.

@larryi   Larry, thanks for sharing your personal and in-person findings from the Capital Audio Fest. 

The T+A PA 3100 HV integrated is back in the system (after a very long run addressing break-in playtime due to recent other component and cable changes).

I'm bypassing it's preamp section. The T+A SDV 3100 HV is serving as Preamplifier. For those unfamiliar with the SDV, it is a Network Player/Streamer + DAC + Preamp with completely separate digital and analog sections (including the power supplies and power cables).

Sound quality, even with a full on digital solid state chain, is exceptional. Emotional, Engaging, Natural. 

Stressing this point since many in this thread are driving their Nenuphars with solid state systems.
