The higher powered Enleums have been discussed by the designer but not released--unless there are some betas out there. So not sure where I got the impression they sounded different than the 23R. My bad.

He definitely had the Enleum...not the Bakoon. Guess it was the 23. His speakers are AG Duo’s and Fleetwood Deville. Obviously different results with different speakers so take it for what its worth. The Valvet is about Half the price of the Enleum but you cant use it as a space heater or fry an egg on it so it does have some disadvantages I definitely prefer the V2 for the extended highs over the Original but not sure my room can handle the extra bass. Maybe I will have to wait for the V3 which has the extended highs but not the bass bump :) |
Thanks @david_ten it's indeed helpful. Did anyone of you here upgraded to v2 and can share your experience ? |
I had auditioned the Valvet e2se a while back with the Nenuphars but much preferred the SIT3. I found the Valvet to have more highs than the FW but it and the midrange was also a bit grainy for my taste. I have not heard the E3, so do not know how it compares to the previous version but I am sure all these amps are stellar with the Cubes. Did anyone pair a Luxman 590AXII with the Nenuphars ? Seems like a possible good candidate.
