Dear Nubert team,
The pair of nuPro A-300s arrived today excellently packaged and quickly.
Unpacking took longer than setting up and setting up the speakers. Together with an Audiofly Revel receiver (connected via toslink), which reliably connects my PC in three different rooms, they stand on a sideboard and have replaced my Marantz M-CR603 and Boston Acoustics A-26, which now work in my study.
Even without a break-in period, which has just begun, the speakers sound just as I had hoped and imagined after weeks or months of reading. The power that these speakers can develop is amazing. As I can also compare them with my pair of Dynaudio 1.8MKIIs (living room), you'd be forgiven for thinking that the A-300s are full-blown floorstanding speakers.
The brief technical advice I received over the phone (I wanted to make sure that my idea of having to downsample 24/192 to 24/96 in Foobar HD tracks was correct) was also quick and reliable. For others who are interested: I use mod2 in Foobar Resampler (SoX) for this.
Thank you very much!
A satisfied customer from the Southern Palatinate, who will treat himself to an excellent Sauvignon Blanc to music from the A-300 tonight. 🙂

After a long wait for the impending move and planning a home theater with a NuLine 34 set, a visit to Schwäbisch Gmünd resulted in a 5.0 system.
Out of consideration for the neighbors, a subwoofer was dispensed with (no permission from the government). Although I had some doubts about whether the bass would work, I simply accepted it for the time being. My persuasion was only enough for the rears and I didn't want to push my luck 😉
Before ordering, I went to Schwäbisch Gmünd for a test listen. Let the NuLines compete against each other and hear what was possible - with the ulterior motive that the budget was not yet exhausted due to the missing subwoofer. We quickly abandoned the decision to use the 34s for the front! Not because they were bad, but much more because the 264/284 sounded so good (when listening to music).
I think my better half made the decision in favor of the 264 much quicker than I did. I still had the price tag in mind and knew that I was over the limit. Well, better to invest once more and be happy than to buy twice^^
I took up the motto again and switched back and forth between the two centers. The difference wasn't as clear here, but the NuLine CS174 simply felt better suited to the 264s.
The 284s were a tad better than the 264s, but unfortunately the price would have been too high. We also thought the slim 264 was deadly chic.
So we ended up with NL264 + CS174 + NL24 and finally tried again to get the subwoofer, but no luck!
In the end, this decision was the right one. Even without the subwoofer, I have concerns about the neighbors. It's amazing how much bass comes out of the speakers even without a subwoofer!
Respect and many thanks to Nubert for really great speakers!!!
However, I do have one suggestion:
How about not sticking the buffer feet under the base plate of the stands out of the box, but leave that to the customer. The background to this is that I think the underside of the base plate is nicer than the top (BS-1000 in white) 😬 :redface: 😬
I know you can get them off with heat, but it would be easier this way, at least for me... Let that go through your head.
Best regards from a very satisfied customer from Stuttgart
Keep up the good work!!!

A few weeks ago, I decided to buy a pair of nuVero4s.
and - now that the speakers have been in my home for several weeks - I'm very impressed with the sound in all respects.
Due to new spatial circumstances, a nuLine 102 + ATM was replaced and it was a very good decision, as I was able to significantly improve my sound.
At this point, I would also like to praise the Nubert service (exchange & reversal
with regard to the various stand variants) and in particular again to Mr. Reichelt.
This is the second time I've tormented you properly... 😬
Best regards to all those who are undecided.
The nuVero4 is a great speaker without any weaknesses!

A visit to Nubert in Duisburg had consequences .
I now have the Nuvero 11 , Nuvero 7 and Nuvero AW 17 .
I still use the Nuline 360 as effect loudspeakers, which will be replaced by the Nuvero 4 when my bank account allows it again.
I would not have expected such a significant improvement in sound quality from the Vuvero 11 compared to my old B&W Matrix 802 Series 3.
The first time I listened to it, it was not so noticeable, but after a few minutes I heard more and more details, which increased further.
Despite the analytics, the high frequencies remained very pleasant.
Another thing that struck me very positively was the pitch-black bass, which despite its extreme precision can also exert pressure at the very bottom.
For me , the speaker makes a very relaxed , precise , agile and balanced impression .
What's also new is that if you switch from 5.1 Dolby Digital to stereo for movie sound, you don't even notice that anything is missing after a short time. Of course, the difference is clearly audible when switching, but in the past this was not possible at all.
The DVD or Blue-Ray "King Kong", especially the scene where the ship enters the fog and crashes against the cliffs, comes across frighteningly realistically with a Nubert set like this.
The loudspeakers take you on an acoustic voyage of discovery.

I bought the 683s for Christmas, together with 1x CS-413 as center and 2x 313 as rears.
WOW - these things are really awesome. As I don't have a subwoofer and the predecessors (681) have already absolutely rocked my room, it's almost unbelievable now. I'm certainly not waiting for an ATM module ;-). With DTS, I had to set the LFE level to -6 db because otherwise it was really too much in my 30 square meter living room. According to the equalizer in my Denon AVR-3313, it even lowered the level a little in the 20 Hz range during room calibration. With the previous 681s, on the other hand, it had added something at 20 Hz, which clearly shows the new 683's competence in the bass range. But the overall sound has also become even more harmonious and unobtrusive, especially at slightly higher volumes. In addition, the appearance of the Nubox series has been upgraded to such an extent that it's a pleasure just to "stare" at the speakers and stroke them from time to time ;-))).
Something like this would cost at least twice as much from any other manufacturer, if they can manage such a sound at all.

I recently visited Nubert in Duisburg. I just wanted to have a look around.
There were also other customers in the store for whom the salesman was demonstrating one or two pairs of speakers.
I listened too, of course. No matter what speaker was in use, it always sounded good.
Two speakers in particular caught my attention, Nuvero 14 with its impressive sound and the Nuvero 4, which sounds simply brilliant for its size.
Considering the price, this is more than a fair offer.
Overall, the store makes an honest impression (just like the loudspeakers) as it dispenses with superfluous frills such as the finest interior fittings.
The savings are probably better invested in the development of loudspeakers.
A few weeks earlier, I was in a high-end store in Münster. The interior design was top-notch. Sales assistants formally ensnaring the customers, lots of priceless electronics and speakers.
Speaker cables with a price per meter of far more than 1000 ?, which are supposed to work wonders, were advertised there.
I listened to a compact speaker the size of the Nuvero 4, which is unaffordable for the average consumer, and which was of course powered by wickedly expensive electronics including cables.
To be honest, it didn't knock my socks off. Such offers make me doubt the seriousness of the manufacturers and dealers in question.

I was infected with the Nuline virus in December 2013. This was due to a spontaneous visit to the Duisburg branch that had just opened. From then on, I couldn't let go of the 284s. At the end of April, I treated myself to them, including Center 174, on the occasion of my 40th birthday ;-)
At home they were also completely convincing in combination with my Pioneer SC-LX76. In August I was able to buy a used (like new) AW1100 at auction (thanks Michael!). Godzilla has never been more lifelike and precise in my living room.
Actually, everything was fine, but the Taunus competition was still working away at the back.
On another visit to Duisburg, Mr. Gereon Krause (super friendly and competent! I can recommend a visit there to anyone) convinced me of the qualities of the Nuline 24. Nevertheless, I was extremely skeptical because I expected a rather thin sound from the miniature 12 cm driver. But well, there is the right of return.
Ordered and delivered on New Year's Eve morning. Unpacked, provisionally placed on the fronts, left to play for half an hour and then the first real test run. Hats off! Adele, Katie Melua, Maroon 5, Dire Straits but also Rage against the machines, Red Hot Chili Peppers - everything sounds incredibly open, fresh and not at all thin. Of course, the 284s have significantly more foundation and depth, but the spatial imaging, precision and the well-structured and transparent bass were immediately convincing. In the meantime, I wondered why I hadn't ordered 5 of these speakers plus AW600 or 1100 - which would definitely have been enough for my 42 sqm living room, because I don't drive enormous levels there anyway.
So the small 24s can stay and the Taunus competition has already been successfully sold on.
So to all the skeptics of the small 24 - it delivers what all the test reports promise. I take my hat off to the Nubert team for their development work and say THANK YOU and good luck for the new year.

!!! Thank you !!!
I thought for a long time about whether I should change my combination of Nuline 34 and Nubox Sub. I was very happy with it. But I was too curious to see if it could be improved with the ATM module. Lo and behold, it is. Unbelievable! The stage opens up to the front and in width, all the instruments have more space and details from the background are suddenly on stage. And the bass? Well, I'm one of those people you don't like to have living next to you, because I can only enjoy music when I can feel it in my bones. What can I say, you can't describe what comes out of my speakers, you have to hear it, or rather experience it. I have dismantled my subwoofer and mothballed it, too imprecise and grumpy compared to now.
I have friends with "high-end" systems and speakers, nobody can believe what I achieve with this sound. So for me, the absolute insider tip for dream sound with awesome bass is the Nuline 34 with ATM module. Especially if you can't or don't want to set up huge speakers.
Thanks again, I am very, very happy!!!

That must have been the look on my face when I sat in one of your listening studios yesterday and switched on the nuBox 683 in comparison to the 264 and 284. Its ability to fill the room with sound is impressive compared to the first two speakers.
The 284 doesn't quite offer the same "width", but brings out the individual instruments and voices even better and differentiates like a surgeon.
Now I'm sitting at home and in no way regret my decision in favor of the 284 (ultimately it was the cabinet dimensions that tipped the scales).
After about 8 hours of playing time, the sound has already gained significantly in fullness and volume. The mids and highs are fabulous (? at last I can hear where the triangle player was standing during the recording ?) and I'm really looking forward to the next bassoon or low bass entry, which is very present but never exaggerated.
As important as the comparison of loudspeakers in the listening studio is, it can only give an approximate direction. Within your own four walls, and without a direct comparison to other speakers, they sound completely different = better.
I don't regret the 5-hour drive in sub-zero temperatures over snow-covered highways, nor do I regret my decision to buy them. Great cinema!
Many thanks also to Holger Nubert and Wolfgang Kohler, who gave me equally competent, customer-oriented and neutral advice during my 3-hour stay in Schwäbisch Gmünd.
It is rare to have the feeling that customer interest comes before sales.
I wish you all a happy new year and a great new year.

I bought two NuVero 14s just before Christmas. After a long back and forth between the 11 and 14, I ended up with the 14. I initially ignored Mr. Nubert's absolutely correct and discreet advice that my current amplifier would probably not be sufficient for these speakers.
The sound of the nuVero 14 thrilled me but didn't "knock my socks off". It took just one week and now the 14s are powered by a powerful Pioneer SCLX 58.
What can I say: this combination conjures up such a powerful and precise sound in our living room that it almost makes you dizzy. The drums of "Another Brick in the Wall" are hurled into the living room with such force and precision that you can't help but sit back in your chair grinning....
Many thanks to the Nubert team and especially to Holger Nubert.
