Hello dear Nubert team
I recently bought a pair of Nubert speakers (Nubox 681) and I'm not sure which stereo amplifier I should buy.
Which amplifier is recommended in terms of power and sound?
Are 2x90 watts RMS enough or is that not enough?
I'm currently listening to the speakers on my old amplifier and I'm already thrilled, but because it's slowly giving up the ghost, it's time for a new one!
Can you help me?
Best regards Mario

(Part 2) In short, this is a wonderful story of what nubert knows how to do with the signals transported by its loudspeakers and what happens, is triggered and begins to grow in the listener. The nuVero 14s have practically never had a day off since they were connected to the cable. The colleague who drew my attention to nubert at the time was not yet familiar with the speakers from his own listening experience. During a visit, he organized a small listening test with pieces he had brought with him, which he had been comparing everywhere and at every opportunity for many years. During Jean-Michel Jarre's OXYGENE, he suddenly jumped up with enthusiasm, he had never heard this sound, or this one, before; during Pink Floyd, he nodded with a grin when the echo of the running person's footsteps reflected off the wall was clearly audible in ON THE RUN (which in many places is lost in a general mishmash of sound). With my final bouquet, the CONCERTO FOR GROUP AND ORCHESTRA by Deep Purple, we almost "beat ourselves to death" in view of the incredible pressure that flowed unhindered (undisturbed!) from the nuVero 14; our jaws were definitely dropped. Want more performance examples...? With pleasure! For example, with your eyes closed, you believe that the Gewandhaus Orchestra is playing Bach right in front of you in your living room; the tragedy of Rimsky-Korsakov's SHEHERAZADE goes straight to your soul; if you hear YOU ARE LOVED by Josh Groban, it doesn't take much more to really believe this completely energized; Andreas Vollenweider's harp playing sounds as pure as can be imagined. If you want to get a first impression of what kind of spectrum you can imagine with the nuVero 14, bring along GOLDEN HEART by Mark Knopfler, for example, as an effortless introduction. We are more than satisfied with the nuVero 14: We are happy! The purchase was worth it in every respect and I can only wish that everyone could listen to and experience the music as we have been doing for almost two years now. As I said, there is a life before and a life after listening with nubert speakers. That really is the case!

(Part 1) Two years ago, at Christmas 2010, the time had finally come - over the unbelievable period of almost three decades, the smouldering desire for an "audible" stereo system had begun to manifest and materialize. Initial soundings in my "hi-fi crazy" circle of colleagues quickly showed that it was a matter of finding the right loudspeakers. A colleague at work, who has had a wonderful knowledge of loudspeakers and stereo systems for over twenty years, and who was able to compare a lot of things in his environment with his own system, and who also knew my budget was not unlimited, gave me the tip about nubert loudspeakers. The information available on the Internet, the relevant test reports, the customer feedback and the introductions to the subject written by Mr. Nubert himself (his philosophy is clearly noticeable) began to convince me. I went ahead with the online order without having heard a sample. Due to the subsequent telephone contact with Mr. Bühler regarding my listening habits and general expectations, I quickly decided to bring the flagship, the nuVero 14, into my living room. The nuVero 14s are connected to the azur 840A "Class XD" amplifier from Cambridge Audio via nubert's own silver cables and the active tuning module. This receives the signals from the 840C upsampling CD player, in which the Swiss ANAGRAM upsampling processor ensures an analog-like sound space. I play vinyl through the 640P. To be honest, my hearing cannot (still) distinguish between the softness of real, analog vinyl sounds and the upsampled discrete signals sent to the amplifier, except that I can of course clean my records as long as I want, the typical crackling cannot be completely eliminated; in my opinion, it is simply part of the analog listening pleasure. Anyone who comes from a vinyl listening and understanding background and argues and compares will also be able to say on this system that the extrapolated signals of the CD still sound too clean and too pure. In any case, I have never been able to hear my vinyl treasures as fully as I do today. Since the flawless spatial impression of the music you hear is directly dependent on when exactly the sound reaches your ears, it is essential that all possible sampling errors on the CD are corrected; this is done by the upsampler. Vinyl and CD, both worlds have their specific listening qualities in my system as I have currently configured it. Now we come to the loudspeakers: These have - I can still put this on record without a doubt, even though I am "just a listener" - the design, the devices and characteristics that the aforementioned specific qualities of both analog and digital sources are transported to the ear without restriction. Even a layman like me can immediately determine whether "something" is interfering. The complete absence of any interference/impairment (probably not just within my auditory horizon) is what makes the overall quality of the speakers and the entire system. So I can also confirm at this point that the combination of the nuVero 14 with Cambridge Audio is a successful one; as I said: nothing disturbs. When I say that nothing disturbs, then this statement refers to everything that I have listened to with the nuVero 14 to date: all the recordings that I have played; all the musicians; all the vocals; all the choirs; all the instruments; all the styles; all the highs, mids and lows that you can imagine and that are available in my collection (which has been growing even faster since I bought the nuVero 14), simply everything that I and my wife have listened to with the nuVero 14 in the almost two years that we have been using them, at all adjustable decibel levels. Whether extremely loud, extremely soft, or somewhere in between, the speakers never have to "master" anything, they are always and confidently in harmony with the music being played. If something sounded below the usual level, it was a poorly recorded sound carrier (careless cheap production) or our visitor had played around with the various loudspeaker controls without being asked and forgotten to reset them to our preferences. Every "session" is pure listening pleasure - a quality of life that I couldn't and wouldn't want to do without. In my wife's life, there is even an era before and after nuVero 14: before, she wasn't interested in listening to music at all, listening sometimes even caused "pain" and therefore rejection and complete abstinence. Since our nuVero brought the sound to our ears, the situation had changed abruptly: Admiring, amazed listening and immersion in the music. Building up our own collection and individual singing courses were the further consequences of the listening pleasure. (To be continued in part 2)

Hello Nubert Team
Thank you very much for the fast delivery and the great speaker (nuBox 311). I am very satisfied. I immediately integrated it into my existing system.
AW880, CS65, 4 old Canton 251s, 2 of which have now been phased out and replaced by the 311s. What an enrichment and I'm already looking forward to replacing the last two Canton speakers. The whole thing is powered by a Yamaha RX V1800 and sounds quite good and is very affordable overall. Many thanks for the very good quality at a reasonable price.
LG Fred Goeres
PS:I am super satisfied :-) with Nubert

Hello,
After finally deciding to replace my now 15 year old C satellite system, I decided to go with Nubert. Firstly because of the great reviews and secondly because I wanted to take advantage of the 4 week return policy. I wasn't really sure whether the new speakers would be better than the old ones. Delivery was of course very fast and the workmanship of the nuLine 34 in white was first class. At first I only set up the speakers provisionally and connected them to my 20-year-old Grundig A-9000. An hour later they were already firmly mounted on the wall brackets supplied.
The difference is really serious. The bass is very precise and crisp for such a small speaker. All instruments can be located exactly. Everything is now as I am used to from my headphones (DENON AH-D 2000).
I can really only recommend the speakers and they are best listened to at home. Now, of course, I'm wondering whether an ATM module is planned for the nuLine 34 and whether it's worth buying. But I will definitely try it out.
Thanks again to the Nubert team and best regards.

Hello Nubert Team,
I received my nuLine82 in white a few days ago!
They are fantastic! Thank you very much for the fast and safe delivery!
After a few attempts to set them up, I've now found the right "position" and I have to say: It's incredible how this "small" floorstanding speaker fills the room! No matter what level, it plays cleanly!
And what else speaks for the speaker: It looks so g... in this white color, it's really unbelievable!
I can only recommend you and your team!!!
Regards
Martin

Hello dear Nubert team,
I hope you don't have the same problems with your customer e-mail file as ...

I hope Nubert doesn't also have well-timed IT problems to draw attention to itself with such a scam. You can also simply build excellent speakers!
Nubert - honest speakers!
Thank you!

I wasn't sure for a long time whether I should buy a subwoofer. On the one hand, the existing B&W CM4s produce quite decent bass, but on the other hand, a good relationship with the neighbors is also important to me. After some deliberation, I have now bought an AW-560 subwoofer. Ordered on Tuesday, delivered on Wednesday, put into operation and calibrated on Thursday. My compliments to the Nubert team, it was unexpectedly quick.
Even though my focus is more on music than on movies, I am now completely thrilled. Thanks to the very fine adjustment options, the AW-560 remains unobtrusive but always present/crisp in the bass range and gives the whole sound a solid foundation. (and best of all, the neighbors are still talking to me... 🙂
So for all those who are still wavering or unsure - from my side definitely a recommendation per subwoofer. The AW-560 was the right decision, not too big but very effective.

I have now had an AW 1000 subwoofer integrated into my existing stereo system (4-way speakers - 93 audio points - with good efficiency driven by a tube amplifier 2 x 45 watts) for about 3 weeks. It is looped in between the preamplifier and power amplifier and takes care of the frequency range between 30 and 50 / 60 Hertz.
Due to the good spatial conditions ( attic studio with open gable / ceiling with wood paneling / hardly any parallel walls ) I was able to dispense with the double bass array system. I simply insulated the rear wall behind the woofer with a foam curtain and placed the woofer itself on a 3 cm thick granite slab.
It took me some time to find the right settings (phase / crossover frequency / volume), but now I'm really satisfied.
The AW 1000 relieves my tube amplifier and the main loudspeakers enormously of the low-frequency work. The whole sound image is now even more airy and transparent with a nice clear, deep bass foundation. The stereo image is completely retained as I have selected a crossover frequency well below 80 Hz.
In addition to the good test results in the trade press and a good price/performance ratio, the decisive factor for the purchase was above all the option to cancel the purchase within 4 weeks.
What good is it if audio products shine in a sound-optimized hi-fi studio but don't sound good at home in your own four walls?
Conclusion: I would buy from Nubert again.
Hello Mario,
the nuBox 681 has a very high level of efficiency and, with 2x90 watts, develops quite a bit of steam.
However, it can also handle much higher power levels. With 2x200 watts you can achieve rock concert volume in an average living room. We will be happy to advise you on the hotline about amplifiers that you can purchase from us. If you would like tips on other amplifier brands, a visit to our nuForum would be useful.
Your Nubert team
