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

David and other owners,

Have you had a look inside the box?  I saw a photo once that showed it to be a box lined with foam panels.  But, the name suggests it is a tapered quarter wave tube loading arrangement which would include a slanted piece of wood creating two tapered chambers.  Is this the configuration? 

It might be play around with those terrific drivers and either a foam-lined tube with a vent on the bottom or a similar TQWT alignment would be not that hard to build. 

I checked out the recent YouTube videos comparing the Nenuphar and the Jazzon. With the caveat that I don't have the best headphones, I found the Nenuphars to be noticeably more engaging than the Jazzons. They just had a liveliness that the Jazzons did not. I didn't hear nearly as much difference between the V1 and V2 drivers within the Nenuphars family. The two versions sounded very similar to me - again in my admittedly modest headphone set up.

@larryi  Larry, I've been travelling and busy. I'll reach out to you.

@paullb   Thanks for the feedback, Paul.

Thanks David.  Because I am so lazy, I probably would not go the DIY route myself, but, I do know people with the skills to do it and the ears and discrimination to make a DIY project work.  If I ever do change my speakers (not that likely because they are very good old school horn systems), certainly a viable candidate is the Nenuphar Basis which I heard at the Capital Audiofest and liked very much.  That speaker is one of the few fully realized commercial systems that has impressed me a lot; that it is a pretty good bargain is all the more reason to be impressed.
