Comment on the comment by Dr. Wilfried E.:
I would like to agree with you 100%.
I too was initially overwhelmed by the size of the nuLine 120 and not 100% convinced by the "sound" (the loudspeaker is not actually sounded!).
However, this was only true for the first 2-3 days. I was still in the middle of the stress of the current week, briefly played 2-3 CDs and was... not disappointed but not convinced either.
However, I also approached the tests extremely critically.
I let the speakers play for 3 days, then listened to them again at the weekend after a rest:
WAHNSINN!
Once you've understood what this speaker is capable of, take your time with the set-up, especially the "turning in" of the speakers towards the listener, etc., then one AHA experience after another follows...
I've had the 120 for about a year now and every time I turn on my stereo system I have a feeling of deep satisfaction and the certainty that I've made the absolutely right decision.
CONCLUSION:
Give the speakers and yourself the time you simply need to recognize whether the speaker fits or doesn't fit. And how good the speaker really is. This should apply to any loudspeaker, but is especially true for (absolute) top-of-the-range speakers.
Especially as you still have the familiar "sound" of the "old" speakers in your ears for days (which may have bent the frequency response quite badly, which is why you may be "surprised" by the "honest" playing of the Nuberts at the beginning... and then realize what has been missing so far, or what has been "swallowed").
The 4-week return policy is more than helpful. I already knew after 1 week: I'm not giving it back!
On January 20, 2007, I made a long-cherished plan come true and drove to Nubert in Schwäbisch Gmünd. I have to say: great. I was able to listen to the loudspeakers in complete peace and quiet with 4 CDs I had brought with me containing a wide variety of music. I decided on the nuLine 80. Even at home, the speakers sound amazing. Wow.
I was particularly impressed by the unobtrusive but always present and competent service. That's a contrast to the big electrical stores that couldn't be sharper. The service was also customer-oriented to the extent that I never had the impression that they were trying to coax a few more euros out of me by recommending more expensive or additional components.
So thank you, and keep up the good work!
After purchasing the nuWave 35 incl. ATM for my "second listening room" almost 2 years ago and being very happy with these speakers from the very beginning (see my entry here in the guestbook dated 05.03.05), I was now ready for another speaker replacement. After the excellent listening experience with the nuWave 35, the quality and the service at Nubert, it was clear to me that it should be a Nubert speaker again. In addition, I find the philosophy and transparency of this manufacturer, i.e. the corporate culture that can be felt by the customer, quite outstanding. And of course, reviews in the Nubert forum and in test magazines also played a role in my decision. After some consideration, I opted for the nuLine 120 in beech finish with ATM. I listen almost exclusively to classical music and jazz in stereo and use the speakers with ARCAM equipment, FMJ series: Player CD 33, Pre-Amp C 30, Power-Amp P 35. The telephone advice prior to the purchase regarding technical questions and the shipping process (fixed delivery date) was again excellent ? thank you very much! After the speakers had arrived on time and I had unpacked these heavyweight pieces of furniture with some effort, I was initially impressed by the impeccable workmanship and the simple, elegant design. Then I provisionally connected the speakers to the system, popped a very well-recorded CD into the player ? and was somewhat disappointed. Before the nuLine 120, I had quite good floorstanding speakers, but they were getting on in years. So I asked myself whether the increase in sound experience, which initially seemed comparatively small, would justify the expense of the new purchase. The sheer size of these speakers also irritated me somewhat. I reassured myself with the four-week right of return granted by Nubert. Over the next few days, I devoted myself to setting up and aligning the speakers as precisely as possible, whereby the documented instructions and texts from Nubert were very helpful. I also experimented with the rear switches for adjusting the bass and treble as well as the ATM. Since then, I've listened to a lot of music of different styles, slowly approaching the speakers and taking the time to get to know them in detail. The bass power of the nuLine 120 is certainly exorbitant and can be heard and felt wonderfully in some jazz or organ recordings. But what has gradually impressed me even more is the absolutely detailed fine detail of the musical events, the stage structure, the staggering of the instruments and the human voice in the room, the precision and clarity, the fullness and balance of the melodious sound and the controlled power of this loudspeaker where necessary. After a week of testing, I can only conclude: The Nubert team has developed and produced an exceptionally good and ?honest? The Nubert team has developed and produced an exceptionally good and ?honest? sound transducer, which is also characterized by an unrivalled price-performance ratio. Whether playing symphonies or chamber music, masses or cantatas, piano or cello solos ? my initial skepticism has given way to great enthusiasm for this loudspeaker. I occasionally use the ATM module to correct recording qualities that are not quite optimal or for very quiet listening. So as not to repeat all the positive things that have been said and written here and elsewhere about this speaker, I would just like to pay the Nubert team a huge compliment for this product, the service and the handling of my order. And I can wholeheartedly recommend any serious music lover to give this speaker a listen! For example, with the 'Missa Salisburgensis', Musica Antiqua Köln (SACD/CD) or with the live recording 'Without a Song' by old master Sonny Rollins (CD).
Hello,
now that my home theater is completely set up with Nubert loudspeakers
speakers, I have to write a huge COMPLIMENT here.
Advice, availability, quality of the goods and of course the service, which doesn't stop even after the purchase, are simply excellent.
Of course, the sound of the speakers is simply amazing, now the bombs are flying through the room ........
Thank you very much.
17.01.07 nubox 681 ordered. 18.01.2007 16h delivered. Many thanks to the staff at Nubert. The Nubox has a great sound. Everyone talks about service and value for money. Nubert does it. nubert is the first address for loudspeakers.
I would like to thank Nubert for their prompt and detailed response to my questions by e-mail. At the end of 2006, I ordered the Nubert AW-880 in beech (currently on offer) with blue covering and accessories, exactly as I had planned.
I ordered on Tuesday evening and received my order on Friday of the same week.
Everything was there, so I was able to get started straight away.
The subwoofer makes a very good impression on me, both in terms of workmanship and sound quality.
A week later, I saw that the 880 was no longer available.
Lucky me 😉
Nubert simply great, great service, fast delivery and a sound that is second to none. 😂
I did some research on the Internet and looked for the test winners and ordered the Nuline 100 set (I only took the larger center speaker).
I have to say it's a great sound that brings tears to my mother's eyes when she listens to Bocelli. 😉
Nubert - a company that keeps its promises
I ordered Nuline 100 front speakers with matching ATM module on the Monday before Christmas.
The delivery took place on Wednesday and the ordering service, delivery and packaging of the components can only be described as absolutely professional.
The speakers and especially the ATM are completely convincing.
Thanks to this module, it is even possible to listen to CDs where
the sound engineers have totally failed.
As a now satisfied customer, I filled out the 3 feedback forms on the Internet
- online. A few days later, the phone rang and the friendly voice told me that I was the lucky winner of a 500? hi-fi device from Nubert.
I couldn't believe it at first, but it really is true.
I ordered a Panasonic DMR EX 75 hard disk receiver, which was again delivered reliably and accurately packaged.
I can only say thank you and recommend Nubert to others
Thanks says Tommas from Schwedt
By way of explanation: As part of our customer satisfaction survey (via reply card or feedback form), we are giving away an Amazon voucher for every 50 responses and a hi-fi device worth 500 euros for every 250 responses.
😂 Dear Nubert team, especially Mr. Siegle!
I am simply thrilled!!!
On the one hand from the competent advice and the customer-friendly
order processing and on the other hand from the excellent product that I have purchased!
But first things first.
I've been sitting here listening to music with my new nuWave 85 for 11/2 days and can't get enough.
I used to have a good music system and was always satisfied.
Until first the mid-range speakers and then the basses broke.
(Models from another Swabian manufacturer but from Balingen).
After having them replaced by me (I can do that), I was no longer satisfied. :-(((
To cut a long story short, I first looked for other speakers on ebay.
I came across Nubert speakers on offer. I had heard the name before and went to the homepage. What I could read and see there made me curious. So much so that I decided to order the nuWave85 recommended by Mr. Siegle to match my NAD system.
nuWave85 recommended by Mr. Siegle. At my request, the order was accepted on Wednesday afternoon and I received the speakers on Friday evening. Thank you, thank you.
But now to the speakers.
For my part, I can't think of anything that sounds better.
In the course of my life (I'm 58) I've heard many systems and speakers. Owned four affordable systems, Grundig, Braun, Luxman, Denon and now NAD. But the current system will hopefully be with me for a long time to come (although I can't rule out having a look at Nubert when I'm in the neighborhood). I'm German.
redface:I hope that my report was helpful for those who are undecided 😉 Best regards K.H.G.
