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

@jonwatches1 I auditioned the Voxativ Hagen speakers with a Voxativ sub driven by a Voxativ tube amp on three occasions--separate listening sessions at the same dealer, same set up. This was maybe 4 years ago, long before I had ever heard the Nenuphars, so it is obviously not a comparison. What bothered me at the time was an initially very attractive sound that I found fatiguing after about 20 minutes or so. I brought my own material in to play, same result. I found the highs to be forward and irritating on a lot of material. Could have been the digital front end (I don’t remember what that was), room, cables, etc.

The Nenuphar is single driver and crossoverless. Where would one utilize a capacitor in this speaker?

I was thinking maybe as a bypass cap to see if anything yields interesting. may not be a good idea after all :-)

A bypass cap is just a smaller value cap that goes in parallel with a larger value to extend and purify the signal as large capacitors are inductive (therefore not as pure or as extended as a smaller cap).  There is no cap in the Nenuphar.  If you bypassed the driver (across the hot and negative) you would be adding a filter.  A no no. What you want is to enhance the driver.....not diminish it.  Ground Enhancer, Bybee thang....hard wiring to the voice coil wire, better wire, eliminating the rear binding posts......these enhance the speaker.

I gotcha , problem is there’s nothing to bypass (With a capacitor). Ultra minimalist speaker design and a main factor as to why its sound quality is so highly praised.

DON'T DO A STUPIDITY - THIS IS JUST A PROMOTIONAL ARTICLE... AFTER YOU CAN'T SELL IT... THE FULL RANGE IS THE ILLUSION OF A SIMPLE SOLUTION - IT IS NOT...

ENGLISH LOWTHER IN THE ORIGINAL (THIS IS IMPORTANT) CASE - 10 TIMES BETTER ...

AN EXTREMELY GOOD SIGNAL SOURCE IS NECESSARY... IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE.
