Dear Nubert team,
I have 20-year-old 471 speakers that I am very fond of.
Unfortunately, I have noticed that the woofer is disintegrating at the edges.
The foam has probably become porous due to UV radiation or mechanical wear.
Are there any repair options?
What is the approximate cost of replacement?
Greetings and thanks
Thomas W.

Answer from the Nubert-Team

Dear Mr. Wagenblast,

There were 3 differently equipped versions of the "471" box.

Only relatively small numbers of the first two series "471 N" and "471 BS" were sold.
The third series "471a" had such a high number of units that we can always have suitable woofers specially made for repair and replacement.
Repairs are therefore feasible for the 471a.

We have included the problem of the limited service life of foam surrounds in our booklet "Technik Satt", which can be downloaded from the web page.
Greetings, Günther Nubert

Subject: T.H. from N.
Anyone who had read my review carefully would have understood what it was about! And if you think you can get to know an LS in 30 days, you either only have 3 CDs on the shelf or you are not demanding. Something like this takes up to a year!
OK, Nubert's decision or philosophy is to develop honest LS, but then also those that. Reproduce the sounds that are present on a CD without you having to listen hard to get an idea! For me, this is a clear signal that Nubert is not willing to follow up on suggestions. I'm not asking Nubert to listen to this and immediately fire out the tweeter. That wasn't my intention at all, Nubert should just think about whether a different tweeter wouldn't make the NuVero 14 look better? Every Aldi speaker is better equipped, perhaps not as level-resistant, but in terms of sound anyway. You don't have to listen so intently to be able to soak up the lovely sounds!

P. S.
And if you don't believe it, you can have your engine tuned differently in Wolfsburg and even order your vehicle in color. Anything the customer wants is possible there!!! Just as an aside. There you only buy the basic philosophy and then adapt the vehicle to your needs, which of course isn't possible with LS, isn't that logical?

Answer from the Nubert-Team

Dear Mr. Olejnik,
In your first guestbook entry on February 21, you praised the bass and midrange of the nuVero 14, but described the treble as follows: "...it SHOULD be able to reproduce the lovely, gentle, clear high tones, but it can't, and that makes the NuVero 14 a sub-par speaker."

We started the "nuVero tweeter project" in collaboration with one of the best quality European loudspeaker manufacturers in the early summer of 2006. Although this manufacturer already had very good tweeters in its range at the time - including for successful studio monitors - it took two years (and over 20 laboratory samples) to develop a chassis based on the best tweeter this company could build, which matched the tweeters of the nuBox, nuLine and the then nuWave families in all respects and surpassed them in two criteria.

Your comment "...which does not develop any bandwidth, but works excellently in the aggressive range! It also plays too much in the background..."
contradicts itself "in itself" in my opinion.

Even if you are a musician, you should not regard your own particular opinion on high sound quality as an "absolute, infallible truth", but try to make the best of it.
You could sell the nuVero - there are hardly any speakers in this price range with which you can achieve such a high resale price.
Or you could remove the connecting bridges from the terminal and use them to mute the tweeter.
Then you can use THE speakers that you like better in the treble range as tweeters.
This will most likely make the speaker "far less neutral" - the main thing is that you will like it better.

Yours sincerely,
Günther Nubert

Hello Nubert team.
I ordered an ATM-481 yesterday and it arrived today. PRIMA. I plugged it in straight away and was very pleased, it's as if the old loudness button had been rediscovered. You haven't promised too much here. You look for the sub in stereo mode, but it's not on at all. Thank you, keep up the good work with your products and the super service !!!!
MFG mst.

After 2 years with Nubert Nubox, I would now like to share my positive experiences.
It started with the super fast delivery of the complete Nubox Surround Set.
2 x 511
1 x CS 411
2 x DS 301
1 x AW 441

I also use the 511 in stereo mode to listen to my vinyl. Together with the Marantz 6004 in Pure Direct mode, it's an absolute dream.

Also a dream in surround mode. Whether movies or music DVDs, the sound gives you goose bumps.

I also have nothing but good things to say about customer service. After 2 years, a chip in the paintwork on a crossbar base was replaced without any problems and in an accommodating manner. That's what I call customer-friendly!

Greetings Jens

...on the subject of the nuVero 14....
I cannot confirm the criticism of the nuVero's tweeter.
The tweeters in my nuVeros work first class.

If I'm not satisfied with a product, I don't buy it.
The Nubert company gives you plenty of opportunity to try it out.
If I only realize after the 30 days that my hearing is offended, I may have done something wrong. I also don't think it's very appropriate to use (or not) a service (test listening) that is offered and then insult the company..." sub-standard loudspeaker".
I am aware that everyone is allowed to express their opinion. So please allow me to do so.

With best regards
Thomas Hondrich

P.S
Just called Wolfsburg. I suggested that they reconsider the engine tuning of the last model and the colors offered.

Hello,

Well, after almost three years of music experience with the 5.1 Nubox Set
(2x NuBox 511, 1x NuBox CS-411, 1x NuBox AW-441 and 2x NuBox DS-301)
I decided to replace the two NuBox 511s with higher quality speakers.
The NuLine284, Nuvero10 and Nuvero11 were shortlisted. After a few listening tests in the listening studio in Aalen, I decided on the Nuline284 as it simply sounded the best for my requirements.

However, when I connected the speakers at home, they didn't sound as good as they did in the listening studio, which must be due to the room conditions.
Nevertheless, I am not completely satisfied with the speakers. In my opinion, a proud additional price of approx. 1200? compared to the NuBox 511 is simply not justified.
In my opinion, the Nuline 284 only has a positive effect at low volumes, as it simply performs better in the lower bass range.
I simply expected more from the speaker in the high and mid-range.
All in all, I will still keep the Nuline284, but it certainly doesn't come close to the price-performance ratio of the NuBox511.

I also have a small criticism to make about the service. I've bought a lot of Nubert products over the last few years and spent quite a lot of money on them. I don't want to say that the products aren't worth the money, but if you buy a pair of Nuline284s for 1950? for example, and then don't even get 10 meters of speaker cable when you ask for it, then I don't think that's good.

Mfg R from Z

Answer from the Nubert-Team

Dear Mr. "R from Z",

The nuLine 284 is the best sounding loudspeaker we can build in this quality of workmanship - and made in Germany - for a price of less than 1000? per unit.
The much larger nuBox 681 costs about half the price of the 284, which - as with the 511 - was made possible by the foiled cabinet manufactured in Eastern Europe and the less complex chassis technology.
It was incredibly difficult to prepare the 284 with such delicate cabinet dimensions and only 65 liters of gross volume for the
extreme bass response (33 Hz /-3 dB) and at the same time very high bass precision.
For comparison: the nuBox 511 with a gross volume of 51 liters has a lower frequency limit of 55 Hz /-3dB, the nuBox 681 with a volume of 96 liters 44 Hz.

Yours sincerely,
Günther Nubert

Answer:
Dear Mr. Olejnik!
We are pleased about your partial praise and respect your opinion about the performance of your nuVero 14 (in your listening room), even if we do not find the drastically formulated criticism of the developers of this speaker appropriate.
The fact is that many experts and a large number of nuVero 14 owners were and are completely enthusiastic about this loudspeaker.
Of course, there are buyers who were not happy with these speakers and therefore returned them. Sometimes it was the bass range, sometimes the mid-range and sometimes the treble range that was complained about? And what's more, (listening) tastes are different?
However, it is not uncommon for the individual support of such customers to reveal that the room acoustics played a very large part in the negative sound perception and it was often possible to achieve significantly more or complete satisfaction through targeted measures to optimize the room.
Perhaps the use of an ATM module with the "sound balance" would also be advisable in your particular case. Please speak to our consultants on the hotline.

My answer to this:
I did not mean to attack anyone personally. If this has been taken as such, I apologize. Just a suggestion, because in a live concert, if it is not an operetta, it is best to recognize which sounds can be heard there. As far as the listening room is concerned, I also tested other loudspeakers there, including the loudspeaker you mentioned. This was very broadband in the treble range, as were all the others, which is NOT the case with the NuVero 14! Once again, the NuVero 14 can do something, even in the treble range, just not what you (as a musician) would expect from such a speaker. I just wanted to make suggestions to improve your product, because anyone who reads through the web will quickly realize that the tweeter of the 14 is a negative feature for many! And I just wanted to make this known! Oh, and the ATM module is there, but that doesn't really help to put the tweeter in a better light.

Honestly, I can't understand how you can praise such a tweeter that doesn't develop any bandwidth but works excellently in the aggressive range!!! It also plays too much in the background. Moved slightly to the front it would work better, because a loudspeaker thrives on diversity and unfortunately this is not the case with the NuVero 14 in this area! A little less of one and a little more of the other and the tweeter would be perfect. But apparently it is not intended to reproduce sounds that are pressed onto a CD! Why is that?
Here are some examples:
Pink Floyd ? Wish you were Here (no to barely audible high hats)
Marillion ? Clutching At Strwas complete CD (hardly any to no high hats)
I could go on and on!

Oh, and some of what the trade press writes is not credible. A lot of things are also talked up because otherwise they won't get any more LS to test.

Answer from the Nubert-Team

Once again, we respect your opinion, but we will not change the tuning of the nuVero 14 or replace the successful tweeter of the nuVero series.

Great products and sensational service. Even the cross-border replacement goes like lightning! I had prepared myself for a tedious problem solution - but far from it: A short phone call with competent contacts and 2 days later a replacement is on the doorstep. Many thanks to everyone involved!

2 Year report on the Nubert NuVero 14

Optics
NuVero 14 with its slim housing, I have it in mocha, is quite something. If you can do without the sound sail, you get even more out of the look. The front with the drivers looks simply brilliant. The body looks less so, but still good.

The sound
The bass and mid-range of the NuVero 14 are reference quality, there's nothing the NuVero 14 can't do. Even higher levels are no problem for the NuVero 14. However, the treble range leaves a lot to be desired. Much too aggressive, even swallows sounds or doesn't play them at all! Is that honest? I say no. A tweeter must develop a bandwidth that covers everything, it MUST also be able to reproduce the lovely, soft, clear high tones, but it can't and that makes the NuVero 14 a sub-standard speaker. If one component is not convincing, the whole sound suffers and this is the case here. Before the narrow excuses of "the tweeter shouldn't be intrusive" come up again, it's true, but it should reproduce what was pressed onto the audio CD and not suppress it. This tweeter is too tiring, you can't enjoy listening to music in a relaxed manner, because you're always afraid that the tweeter won't play something, well, and it usually does.

Conclusion:
With the NuVero 14, a lot of attention was paid to the bass and mid-range, but the tweeter range was completely wrongly designed, so that the NuVero 14 does not play many high tones at all! Even the funny switches and controls would be more appropriate as they make it easier to fine-tune the sound. What a pity, the designer has completely misjudged a great loudspeaker. The ........ has better treble and is also cheaper to buy than the NuVero 14. Unfortunately, it is not as level stable as the Nubert. So it's time to make improvements or send the inventor to a live concert so that he can hear how music should sound - indeed must sound. Or even bring out an update that replaces these tweeters because the rest is really phenomenal.

Thanks to Nubert and Mr. Dsida for a quick and uncomplicated exchange of a nuPro A-20. I called yesterday and received the exchange box today. Service that is second to none! As I now own 9 Nubert speakers, plus an ATM module, I know the quality that is delivered here. High praise and always Nubert and no ...!
