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

@vinpic 

Yes, I think the Cube Audio sub is the next step, although I'm thinking of the 10" since my room is slightly smaller than yours.  Right now I'm using a KEF KC62--a mini sub that does a credible job.

I prefer both the Enleum and the Zen Triode without a pre.  

I'm not tempted to try mono block Zen Triodes since 1) I don't feel the single Zen needs more head room--although the monos might offer other benefits as well, just twice as many tubes to maintain 2) I think the Enleum may end up in the system the lion's share of the time. It plays better at lower volumes than the Zen, although that might have more to do with controlling volume through the TotalDAC instead of the Zen dual volume controls.  I'll have to experiment.  

I sent the iFi Pro iDSD back--a great a value but fell short of the TotalDAC D-1 Dual.  

Confirming that Cube Audio has made the correction on their webpage.

@vinpic The upper range listed is the same as that of the V1 [ 18KHz (6dB) ]

Are you saying that the V2’s upper frequency number is higher and that ’number’ also needs to be corrected? Thanks.

"V2 covers a wider frequency range (lower & higher"

@stephendunn  Thanks for answering my questions!

Are there other moves / plans on the component / pairing front in store?

@david_ten

I will be auditioning a Playback Designs MPD-8 Dream DAC in March.

And sometime April/May I will audition the Magnepan LRS speakers driven by the VR L2iSE.

I’ll also be adding some room treatments in incremental stages.

And I’ll continue to work with the Decware Zen Triode 25th Anniversary Edition, rolling a few more tubes and experimenting with it’s various settings.

And, as mentioned, I will probably add a Cube Audio 10" woofer.

But mostly, as always, discover new music. Such as Jan Lisiecki’s Chopin’s Nocturnes (DG) reviewed by Alex Ross in this week’s New Yorker. Listening now through the Enleum 23R. Delicious.
