More than 4 weeks after the delivery of my Nuline 102 in silver, with ATM module, I would like to publish my experience report. First of all, I would like to point out that I did a lot of research before buying my speakers and listened to several models in different price ranges. From "Media Markt" to "High End Studio", everything was there. After I had set myself a price range of up to 2,000?/pair, there were still a few manufacturers and models to choose from. In the end, I decided on the Canton Vento 809, which I liked the sound and look of in silver "high gloss". Thanks to a friend's good connections, I was able to get the pair for 1,450?, which was a bargain compared to the RRP of 2,950/pair. After a few days, I received the stylish but really large Canton Vento 809s. I immediately started the listening test, under real conditions, in my living room, with my electronics. Incidentally, the electronics were a Rotel RA-1070 amplifier and an RCD-1072 CD player. I liked the sound of the Canton, but somehow something was missing that I couldn't really describe. The high-mid range was very precise and finely resolved, the bass was also precise and tight. I was actually quite satisfied, although not overwhelmed.

I have known Nubert for a long time and have also set up the Dolby Surround system from the Nubox series for my parents-in-law. (Incidentally, it also sounds great when configured as a home cinema system).

To make sure I had made the right decision with the Canton Vento 809, I wanted to hear the Nubert Nuline 102 with ATM in direct comparison at home, so I ordered them. As I had the option of returning them within 4 weeks without risk, it was definitely worth a try. The delivery arrived two days later and I eagerly placed the Nuline 102 next to my Canton Vento 809 speakers. As my Rotel RA-1070 has outputs for two pairs of speakers, it was easy to connect them in parallel. I have to mention that unfortunately I couldn't use a very high-quality speaker cable for the Nuberts, as this was already connected to the Canton speakers. Then came the big moment.

I switched from the Canton to the Nubert and thought, "well, somehow a little less music". After switching a few times, it quickly became clear that this was just the effect of different efficiency levels. The Nuline simply played a little quieter at the same volume setting on the amplifier. Once I realized this, I adjusted the volume control depending on the selected speaker. After a short time, it was clear to me that the Nuline 102 with ATM sounded significantly better to me. I was absolutely overwhelmed by the musicality this speaker was able to offer. In contrast to the Canton, the Nuline sounds much more balanced, warmer, more rhythmic and simply completely coherent. After a few hours of listening to a wide variety of music, I also realized that the Canton speakers became "annoying" and intrusive after a long period of listening, because the high-mid range was too brilliant and superficial for me. In short, it's simply fun to listen to the Nuline 102 with ATM. Unfortunately, I lost a few hundred euros after selling the Canton Vento 809s on Ebay after 3 weeks, but it was clear to me that I had to keep the Nuberts. I wouldn't have been happy with the Canton speakers after this comparison test.

My activities and experiences have shown that there is nothing comparable on the market in this price range. You can argue about the simple look of the Nuline 102, but on the one hand that's a matter of taste (I like simple looks very much), and on the other hand you don't listen with your eyes. For me, the choice of the Nuline 102 with ATM was a direct hit. I am extremely happy and enjoy the incredible sound quality of the speakers every day.

Many thanks to the entire Nubert team!

@Mr. Härer: Many thanks for the once again very good and extremely friendly advice over the phone.

@Mr. Nubert and the entire development team: Thank you very much! You know how to build high-quality loudspeakers that don't make a false "first impression" due to high efficiency or unbalanced frequency response.

I will be brief. I can only agree with the praise in this guestbook about the quality of the speakers and the service that Nubert offers its customers. Any further words would be like carrying owls to Athens.

I've had my nuWave 35 for around 4 weeks now and almost every evening I find myself looking for CDs that I haven't yet got my hands on in the last few weeks so that I can rediscover them. The nights have become shorter.

Thank you very much!

Well, since I'm self-employed, I'd like to put it this way:

Nubert, like any other company, is under constant pressure from the competition. 😈

But, competition would be the same!!! 😬

So, in my opinion, Nubert has no competition and doesn't need to "fear" it 😈 .

<<>.

Evil tongues would say: free riders.

Even after 8 weeks, I'm still thrilled and experience anew every day the variety of sounds this speaker system offers at an unbeatable price-performance ratio.

There's no need to comment on the service, otherwise the server in the guestbook area will be bursting at the seams.

But criticism is also necessary. If I hadn't come across the Nubert website by chance, I'd be sitting in front of a designer loudspeaker set for the eyes, but not for the ears. Possible QUOTE: GREAT SPEAKERS, but they sound like grandma's money box.

I had tested speakers of this size for my 42 square meter living room with various other COMPETITORS. The sound was as described above....

What finally persuaded me to buy it was the feedback from the other buyers. Ears can be so different, but such a hugely positive customer response can hardly be IRRELEVANT.

They weren't wrong, I'm one of the lunatics who won't be giving these things away again (at least not in this lifetime).

CONCLUSION: Dear Nubert team, you can be glad that I found you by chance, in the Nirvanna of the Internet.

And I can be glad that I didn't buy the money boxes !!!

I think I've said it all here.... haven't I?!

Hello dear Nubert team.

Thank you very much for your kind and competent advice. The RCA attenuation cables really do serve their purpose. As my DVD player was leaking too much power to the ABL 381 module, I connected an RCA damping cable between the two. The crackling in the speakers stopped immediately... Now I enjoy the great sound of the 381s incl. module. They really do sound like big speakers. The almost perfect solution for smaller living rooms. Keep up the good work...

Thank you very much

Hello dear Nubi team. I had the Nuline 120 (2nd choice) sent to me 4 weeks ago, but unfortunately one cabinet was damaged so that I had to have it sent back after listening to it for a long time because the damage was very visible, and a replacement (2nd choice) was not possible at the moment. They are not bad but there are huge differences to the Nuline 120. I've been using the Nuline 30 with AW-1000 all these years, but the bass of the 120 simply comes across better in the room than bookshelf speakers with a sub. Anyway, the 100s just look too puny for me, so the big ones have to go again. The sound over stereo with the 120 was simply awesome. Sorry, dear Nubi team, but we simply have to get the big ones again. People who have space in their room should just listen to the big ones. Many thanks also for the fast delivery and for the service, I can only recommend Nubert. Greetings from Lower Saxony 😂

Hello.

First of all, thanks to Nubert for the fast delivery!

So now my test report on the Nuline 102 with ATM module.
The first thing I noticed was the clean workmanship, simply top class, Made in Germany, that's how it should be!
Now to the sound, the speaker was convincing across the board, the treble is clean and precise, the bass is powerful and crisp, all without the ATM module! But a few days later I thought about it and ordered the magic box, it was worth it!
The dynamics increased, the pressure from the bass is enormously extended, and the treble is even more brilliant than before, all without distorting the sound. The Nuline 102 locates the instruments with ease, the whole sound has become much more detailed.
I had previously ordered a ''high end'' speaker from another* manufacturer for testing where the sound was anything but ''high end'', ok the material is fine, but the sound was no comparison, but cost almost the same!
I listen to a lot of heavy metal (death, thrash, grind), so every speaker is required! The Nuline 102 plays confidently and with great power reserves it is a speaker for life!
So if you are looking for a good speaker for your money you should risk an ear for the Nuline 102, you will not be disappointed!

Thank you Mr. G. Nubert!

One more tip, the speakers stand with spikes on a 5 cm thick sandstone slab, which makes the sound even finer, the tweeters are almost at ear level, which also makes the neighbor below me shine.
Greetings from OWL.

Hello dear nuTeam!

Well... my NuBoxes 681 arrived today.
First of all, thank you very much for the prompt delivery! I was really pleasantly surprised.

But now I'm faced with a "problem": how do you describe something that is indescribable?
I am so enthusiastic about the sound that I simply have no words.

It's like putting on a pair of "acoustic glasses" as a short-sighted person who has already become accustomed to his short-sightedness. You suddenly see everything that you thought you could see well before, much more clearly, sharper and more precisely.

I used to have a compact system, which was very good in terms of sound, but now it's like night and day. My butt hurts because this brute sound experience constantly knocks me off my feet. 😉

Many thanks to Günther Nubert and his team, who have made it possible for me and many other highly satisfied customers to enjoy such a sound in the first place!
May you continue to be inspired and motivated to build what I consider to be the world's best loudspeakers for your customers for a long time to come!

With best regards from sunny Carinthia

Christopher Kreuzer, alias Chris-1986.

PS: You have changed my life! Thank you!

Really... I am so "flattened":-))

Barely 12 hours after my criticism, they "took care of me"... First by e-mail... Then I got a phone call... And now a "310" is on its way to me - and it's looking forward to becoming my center speaker 😂

Hats off to so much customer proximity and service...

Thank you very much for your efforts!

It's telling why I highlighted Nubert in a positive light in my 2006 feature "Service desert Germany"...

Well then,

Praise (almost) all along the line....

But now I have to contradict that a little...

I saw some offers for the Nubox 310 in the bargain market.
Since I still need a center, I thought I'd call the "0800" number and simply order one of the boxes, which I can then use as a center...

Answer from the friendly lady at the other end of the line:
"We don't do that... What are we supposed to do with the second box... We only sell them in pairs..."

Well.... If I need a pack of cheese, I don't buy a box with 10 packs, I just buy the one pack...
I'm surprised that you "only" have to buy pairs from Nubert, when the forum is full of references to the "310" as a center speaker...

The tip in the forum that you could also look into the RS 300 as a center... I'll have to buy a pair later... Or maybe 4 of them, right away for the neighbor...

The nuber euphoria is already a little dampened...

Answer from the Nubert-Team

Dear Mr. Maiwald!
In principle, it's never a problem to buy a single Nubert speaker. However, the two 310s are the last pair and there's a good chance that we'll be left with a single speaker. But we will look again - maybe we will find a solution for your wish after all!
