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.

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.

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 😉

Hello,
Here is the report promised on April 21st about the connection of the small compact system onkyo pha-1045 with the new nuBox 313:
The nuBox 311 was good, but the sound of the 313 is even better. Silky, unobtrusive highs, crystal-clear mids (voices are reproduced very well) and natural bass, which is noticeably deeper than that of the 311, without losing its suitability for the shelf. Naturally, the small 313 is not capable of low bass, but even without it, the result is a round, harmonious sound to my ears.
The much larger nuLine32 was much better than the nuBox311; compared to the 313, the gap seems to me to be much smaller.
Conclusion: My expectations were not disappointed, the nuBox 313 is a pleasure to listen to and it gets a lot of good things out of the onkyo pha-1045.
The price, which is only slightly higher than that of the 311, and - last but not least - the knowledgeable and friendly people at Nubert are also a welcome bonus.
Regards,
Achim K.

Hello, Mr. Bühler,
After testing the nuVero11 extensively with different types of music, I have to say that my high expectations in terms of sound and build quality have even been exceeded. It is incredible how effortlessly the speakers play even at very high volumes. The bass is dry and precise, the instruments are clear to locate and, what is very important to me, the treble doesn't sound "sharp" or "tiring", but smooth and brilliant at the same time and the voices are reproduced wonderfully naturally.
My wife (WAF test passed! :wink: ) and I also like the look and feel very much. The speakers look (much) better in person than on the home page - really slim and elegant. The connection terminal looks very high quality, the metal cover grille provides the necessary protection against damage and the solid steel crossbars ensure a secure stand.
But what finally persuaded us to buy them was the sound of the nuVeros at very low levels. The sound produced by the speakers is simply sensational, even with very quiet music. The bass, the mids and the highs are all there, just quiet. As residents of an apartment building, we have to be considerate of our neighbors in the evenings and the nuVero11 works perfectly.
We are currently rediscovering our CD collection and it is truly amazing how many musical details the nuVero11 suddenly brings to light.
To paraphrase a major multimedia provider, I can only say: this is how music should be! 😂 😉
With kind regards from Berlin

I'm still a relatively new nubert fan and can only say: great cinema.
As soon as my wallet allows it, I'll be placing a few more orders!
I'm also missing the opportunity to listen to a quick rehearsal. For this I spontaneously recommend my favorite listener: ...*... from Hamburg who would also suit you personally.
I would like to see a NuBox there!
And otherwise: Keep it up. That's it!

Hello Nubert community,
I would like to say a few words about two facts.
1. the NuPro A-300
I have been using the A-300 in my home for a good week now. I can only agree with all the previous speakers on the active NuPro's.
I had already had a good look at the A-300 at the 'KlangBilder' trade fair.
What comes out of these loudspeakers is phenomenal. Detailed and finely detailed highs, clean mids and a very precise bass that plays so far into the lower frequency range that you would hardly think it possible.
All in all, an absolutely homogeneous sound image paired with a super comfort that is generated via the remote control and the simple and clear menu navigation.
2nd complaint
Reason for complaint: delivery of the wrong color.
For me personally, a complaint is not necessarily a negative thing, as it usually reveals how the company works outside the standard business.
If a complaint is handled professionally, customer satisfaction is usually higher than before.
Here is a short timeline of what happened:
19.04.14 (Saturday) ==> Phone order for NuPro A-300 in white (Confirmed color on invoice was also white).
21.04.14 (Monday) ==> Public holiday
22.04.14 (Tuesday) ==> Info that the box has been shipped.
23.04.14 (Wednesday) approx. 15:00 ==> Arrival of the package in Linz/Austria, the A-300 was delivered in the color black.
23.04.14 (Wednesday) approx. 16:00 ==> Call to Nubert that the A-300 was delivered in black instead of white.
The phone call was very friendly and professional. I was informed that the white version would be shipped immediately and that a return slip would be enclosed with this shipment.
23.04.14 (Wednesday) approx. 16:30 ==> Information that the white box had been sent.
24.04.14 (Thursday) approx. 14:00 ==> Arrival of the A-300 in white.
I immediately took the return slip from the new package and then stuck it on the package of the black A-300 and immediately gave it back to the courier service.
My personal conclusion:
Handling a complaint with this speed deserves my utmost respect.
I would buy something from Nubert again at any time, as I feel that I am in better hands than ever as a Nubert customer, because I now know that even if something is not up to standard, I will be looked after professionally and competently.
Apart from that, I don't know of any other provider that delivers parcels of this size (dimensions of the parcel) to its customers so quickly.
(Arrival of the replacement delivery < 24h)
Many thanks to the Nubert team for the professional work you do.
I can only recommend Nubert to everyone.

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.
