I love the sound of both versions! Really wonderful sounding speakers. I found a slight preference for the V2 which sounded a bit more complete to me. However, I would need to be in that room listening to be sure.

The Vcap Odams are great in speaker crossovers. Vibrant and so very open. They are also easy to fit due to their relatively small size. However, I would say they are my 2nd choice in this particular speaker. The best choice, if you can afford them, would be the Duelund SnCu CAST caps. This is their tinned copper foil cap. The richness, realism and natural tone of this cap would be a better match in this speaker. I think this speaker would benefit from the body, richness and meat of this cap. The Odam may deliver more perceived air and liveliness, but I just don’t think this speaker is asking for “more” of these attributes. Just my opinion.

If these are too costly, then the Jupiter copper foil cap is also a great choice. Keep in mind the size of both the Jupiter and Duelund can be quite large depending on the value you need.

I am making an assumption these speakers don’t currently have a top tier copper foil cap in them. If they do,  then wonderful and leave them be 🙂.

 

 

 

 

Grannyring,

This is a full range driver.  It has no crossover, no caps, no parts 

@grannyring thanks for the feedback on the Vcap odams. Yes, I agree with you that they have an open and a bit bold character which may not be suitable for this speaker in particular.

The Nenuphar is a full range single driver speaker with no crossover. Amp straight to the driver.

@grannyring  Bill, for clarification; I assume you are referring to the video, correct?

@jonwatches1  Jon, I have not heard Voxativ in direct comparison. I strongly considered Voxativ when deciding on a single driver full range speaker; Holger Adler of Voxativ was a pleasure to engage with and was very helpful. 

In a recent post, @stephendunn makes reference to something that bothered him about Voxativ...perhaps he can comment or you can reach out to him via PM. He has extensive experience with the Nenuphars.

All the best in your choice.

Question: does anyone have experience comparing Voxativ with Cube? What were your impressions?  Thanks!
