@paullb Mentioning the following in case it is of interest: Since Srajan Ebaen’s ’review’ makes note of these differences between the two versions of the drivers as implemented in the Nenuphar speaker cabinet... If I move my listening position back by ~ 6 feet; which results in my standard-position toe-in coming to a point ~ 2 feet in front of me: the effect (using SB’s terms) is a downward shift in weight, increased "blackness" and a reduction in the "incisiveness in the presence region"...the penalty: is a decrease in sound stage width... [NOTE: a small couch (my preferred listening position) is likely a contributor as it is now in front of me; this outcome may be simply specific to my room, etc. etc.] |
I’m curious how other Nenuphar owners have their speakers set up? Distance apart, distance from walls, distance to mlp, toed in/not toed in, etc.? Also, are you sitting at ear height of the center of the driver? With the speaker titled back I think I am sitting slightly below the center of driver. When I lean up and my ear gets above middle it can sometimes make a shift in imaging. Anyone else experience this? Do your speakers disappear in the listening space? I live the sound of the Nenuphar minis but i tend to get sound coming direct from the speakers. Not everything but often vocals seem to come from the left speaker. I’ve tried moving the speakers closer, further apart, forward, back, toed in, etc. I’ve also tried multiple amps, preamps, dacs, cables, etc. just to be clear the speakers sound great but I’m still trying to get that magic imaging where the speakers completely disappear. Maybe my room is too small for single drivers. Any tips?
