Hello!
I just wanted to say that I think it's a shame that the nubox 481 is being discontinued!
There is a successor but without a bass reflex tube at the front!
that's the advantage for small rooms! now it's at the back and you have to place the speaker at least 30-50 cm away from the wall, which sucks!
please develop a speaker with a sound port at the front again!
greetings

First of all: I am not a ghostwriter for Nubert, even if my article might sound like one.
I am absolutely impressed by Nubert's treatment of me as a customer. Both in terms of service and shipping, and especially in terms of goodwill and dealing with the right of exchange.
The customer advisors are really willing to talk and are on the customer's side. They have fulfilled all my exchange and upgrade requests and have certainly won me as a long-term customer.
Which they didn't really need to do, as the quality of their speakers had long since won me over anyway.
So I'm happy to put my money where my mouth is! Thank you Nubert!

Hello,
I'm really looking forward to the "nuControl" preamplifier! Balanced outputs are already very promising. If it matches its range of functions in terms of sound and is "right up there", it will definitely be on the shortlist.
P.S.: Where else can you find a high-end preamp with comparable management for the subwoofer(s) ?!!!
Greetings

The short version:
After an extensive listening orgy at Nubert in Schwäbisch Gmünd, I decided against a nuBox system and in favor of a nuLine system.
I haven't regretted this decision for a single day. The nuLine system is worth every cent more.
You can find the detailed report in the Nubert forum under the following link:

Comparison NuVero 11 vs. NuBox 681
I just couldn't get over the fine resolution, spatiality and sound volume of my current NuBox 681, so I ordered the Nuvero 11 home with the full intention of keeping it if it "blows me away".
Of course, it's amazing what bass comes out of the small drivers.
The price is certainly justified for the technology used, the effort put into the cabinet processing and the design, but the sound is not better than that of the NuBoxes, just different.
Personally, I even find the analytical mids and highs of the NuBox slightly better.
My son (24 and specially invited to the test) found the mids and highs of the NuVeros slightly better. They sound a little more subdued/waddier here, but these are all just nuances and not HUGE differences.
We found the bass, whether fast or slow, to be equally good with both speakers (dry and precise).
I had the speakers connected as front A and B. So we could switch back and forth and had a direct comparison.
The differences in sound (which are already small anyway) are purely a matter of taste.
Neither speaker leaves anything out or adds anything. They both actually sound perfect. And it was only the sound that mattered to me.
And since my old ears (48) and my son's young ears (24) felt the same way, the NuVeros were packed up again and set off on their journey home.
As I said - perfect sound, but that's what I think I've already found in the NuBoxes.
Hello "rego001",
We are delighted that you have given our nuBox 681 such an extremely positive rating. Direct comparisons are, of course, generally good, but in this case they have a major drawback: They are only meaningful if the comparison is made at the same perceived volume level (see also Günther Nubert's brochure "Technik Satt"). The nuBox 681 has a much higher efficiency than the nuVero 11, so when switching directly to one and the same amplifier, the nuBox always sounds significantly louder than the nuVero 11. A louder speaker is always judged to be "more spacious", better resolving, "livelier", indeed simply better sounding - a well-known psychoacoustic effect in specialist circles.
The fact that a nuVero 11 goes about half an octave lower into the bass range than a nuBox 681 (nuBox 681: 45 Hz, nuVero 11: 30 Hz) can easily be overlooked in such a comparison test.
Nevertheless, the following always applies: Good is what you like. We hope you continue to enjoy your nuBox 681!
The Nubert development team.
I would like to thank Nubert for the unforgettable hours I have spent (and will probably continue to spend) with the incredible nuVero 14. I waited a little while before writing my review so that I could take my time to try out a wide variety of music and styles on the speakers.
The speakers have completely convinced me. In my opinion, the sound, the painstaking musical reproduction of various musical genres (A for Albinioni to Z for ZZ-Top) is second to none. You mustn't forget that the speakers are affordable as well as sounding good.
I've had the nuVero 14 with the ATM module for about a year now. The speakers are driven by a 30-year-old pre/power amplifier combination, supplemented by an SACD player and a home theater PC (Asus Xonar sound card).
I have been listening to my music (classical/jazz) from the Nuline 84 for 2 weeks now.
I should have bought them much earlier. Too bad about the previously wasted listening time.
I have just read in nuLetter that nubert is planning a preamplifier. This is exactly the product that I (and I'm sure many others) need. My TV has an optical digital output. My CD player is a bit older and has a digital output. My radio is analog. I still need a solution for streaming. I don't know yet whether it will be digital or analog. Everything has to be connected somehow and the ABL has to be looped in. If you only want stereo playback, you obviously don't want to buy an AV amplifier for it and leave the channels unused. You also don't want to buy an expensive DAC. But the analog outputs from the TV or laptop, or even from a cell phone, aren't that great either. So a nuControl is just the thing. Praise for announcing things so early this time! I'm happy to postpone the purchase for another year or two and wait until nuControl is ready, because I buy hi-fi equipment for eternity. It can also be a bit more expensive. I hope the price will be well calculated and not too low for you. I won't spend 900 euros for a DAC + 800 euros for a preamplifier. And I don't see the point of a preamplifier just to control the volume. But even those who have no interest in hi-fi esoterica would certainly spend 700 euros on a DAC with an integrated remote-controlled preamplifier.
Thank you for your feedback. We recently presented nuControl at the High End trade fair in Munich. The initial response from customers and experts was excellent and we think that this "more-than-preamplifier" will be a highly interesting product. However, we have to disappoint your hopes of being able to offer such a high-tech product (with immense development costs by our standards) for 700 euros in an ultra-massive housing. We will certainly not be asking a typical high-end price of 10,000 or 5,000 euros for this "sound manager", but will endeavor to stay below the 2,000 euro mark.
nuPro A-100: Fantastic speakers.
Originally intended as desktop speakers and piano accompaniment, they are probably the best speakers I have ever bought. Completely unproblematic installation, small dimensions, overwhelming sound.
Swabian workmanship, respect.
There's actually not much to say:
1. service: 1A+++
2. NuPro A-300: To be on the safe side, I'll have a quick look to see if there isn't a much larger floorstanding speaker in my living room. The performance of this small speaker is simply incredible and phenomenal. There are moments when I can't keep my mouth shut.
3. you guys are great, keep up the good work!
I think this is the start of a wonderful friendship 😉
Many years of experience have shown that you can't please everyone. We have been criticized sooo often in recent years because of the "unsightly" BR tube on the front of the nuBox 481...
Our development engineer would also like to point out:
2-3 cm distance from the wall is sufficient for unhindered bass radiation from the BR tube. However, as a general rule, any speaker placed directly against a wall tends to produce booming effects in the bass - regardless of whether the BR tube is positioned at the front or rear. In terms of good sound, it is therefore always advisable to keep speakers as far away from walls as possible.
However, if the nuBox 483 has to be placed directly against a wall, a simple measure will help: close the BR tube. This is because, with the BR tube completely closed, it delivers just as deep bass as its predecessor, the nuBox 481, with an open, forward-facing tube and free placement.
