Hello dear Mr. Reichelt, hello Mr. Nubert and hello to the entire Nubert team. Well, yesterday was the day: UPS arrived and delivered my order from Nubert (2xwave125, 2xwave10, 2xwave3, 1xwave cs4, 2x line aw1000 and 1x Onkyo tx-ds898). Now that the sweaty work of unpacking, setting up and connecting has been completed and I was able to persuade the new Onkyo receiver to take up its duties, I was speechless! I have been a music and hi-fi fan for more than 30 years, have worked in this profession myself, have had two good systems (1x hi-fi stereo + 1x home cinema 5.1) in operation and have tested and listened to a lot of devices and speakers - also through my (then) work as a hi-fi consultant (dhFi). This included everything that calls itself hi-fi, from simple entry-level equipment to high-end (and very expensive) hi-fi. I was with you in S.Gmünd with Mr. Reichelt on 11.8.03 and heard some combinations there - you would think that I was prepared for what I was about to hear. Far from it! I don't want to go into the kind of verbose descriptions of sound that can be found in some specialist publications, but what I heard yesterday within my own four walls was unique and overwhelming. Although certainly not yet perfectly set up, leveled and the speakers not yet played in (I doubt whether this really makes that much difference), the sound quality of this set blew me away! Whether in stereo or in multi-channel surround playback - these speakers set standards, and they are addictive! No matter which criterion is used for evaluation, whether precision, localization, spatiality, freedom from coloration, naturalness, level stability - and what they are all called - these speakers master everything and earn top marks in every discipline! I'm not too naïve to believe that there's nothing better, but in this sound class in which my Nubis perform, the air is getting pretty thin for others - and at this price. Admittedly, just under 6000,-? is a proud price in absolute terms and not every music or home cinema lover will be able to afford it, but to even come close to this sound quality class with other loudspeakers you easily have to pay several times this price. You can really feel that a perfectionist and enthusiast is at work here - compliments Mr. Nubert. But also a big compliment to your employees and colleagues, especially to you Mr. Reichelt. The friendly manner in which I was served, the way the demonstration was conducted and the technical competence are absolute highlights in themselves, especially in comparison to your competitors. Once again, a big thank you and a big compliment to you for your efforts and your patience with me. The tip for the Onkyo TX-DS898 was also excellent, although I will still be dealing with its setting options and complexity for a while. I have also not yet found the optimum phase setting and coupling frequency (to the wave125) for the two AW 1000s - I would appreciate your feedback to help me with this. To all others who might read this in the guestbook and are interested in buying new loudspeakers, I would like to say: You've come to the right place! If you buy speakers from Nubert, no matter which ones and no matter whether stereo or multi-channel: Everything is right here, sound and more sound, (processing) quality, advice, service and last but not least the price! And there's something else for free: You will rediscover your music / movie collection and it will finally be fun again to just sit there and (consciously) listen to music (or experience a movie). What I would like to do now is to get to know you personally, Mr. Nubert, and talk shop with you. With this in mind, I would like to take my leave and once again express my respect and thanks to you Mr. Nubert, Mr. Reichelt and the entire Nubert team, with best wishes for a happy and successful future. With best regards, your new Nubi fan Lutz R.
