2 Year report on the Nubert NuVero 14

Optics
NuVero 14 with its slim housing, I have it in mocha, is quite something. If you can do without the sound sail, you get even more out of the look. The front with the drivers looks simply brilliant. The body looks less so, but still good.

The sound
The bass and mid-range of the NuVero 14 are reference quality, there's nothing the NuVero 14 can't do. Even higher levels are no problem for the NuVero 14. However, the treble range leaves a lot to be desired. Much too aggressive, even swallows sounds or doesn't play them at all! Is that honest? I say no. A tweeter must develop a bandwidth that covers everything, it MUST also be able to reproduce the lovely, soft, clear high tones, but it can't and that makes the NuVero 14 a sub-standard speaker. If one component is not convincing, the whole sound suffers and this is the case here. Before the narrow excuses of "the tweeter shouldn't be intrusive" come up again, it's true, but it should reproduce what was pressed onto the audio CD and not suppress it. This tweeter is too tiring, you can't enjoy listening to music in a relaxed manner, because you're always afraid that the tweeter won't play something, well, and it usually does.

Conclusion:
With the NuVero 14, a lot of attention was paid to the bass and mid-range, but the tweeter range was completely wrongly designed, so that the NuVero 14 does not play many high tones at all! Even the funny switches and controls would be more appropriate as they make it easier to fine-tune the sound. What a pity, the designer has completely misjudged a great loudspeaker. The ........ has better treble and is also cheaper to buy than the NuVero 14. Unfortunately, it is not as level stable as the Nubert. So it's time to make improvements or send the inventor to a live concert so that he can hear how music should sound - indeed must sound. Or even bring out an update that replaces these tweeters because the rest is really phenomenal.

Thanks to Nubert and Mr. Dsida for a quick and uncomplicated exchange of a nuPro A-20. I called yesterday and received the exchange box today. Service that is second to none! As I now own 9 Nubert speakers, plus an ATM module, I know the quality that is delivered here. High praise and always Nubert and no ...!

simply brilliant...

So today I also feel obliged to write how thrilled I am.

I've had the 284 speakers for about 2 weeks and the CS174 as a center speaker, which I was already very pleased with, especially the dynamics and playfulness of these speakers.

But since I'm quite a bass lover, I also ordered the aw1100 last week and got it delivered today... Now I've been sitting here for 6 hours with a grin on my face because it just sounds brilliant, what a powerful bass this sub has.

I'm finally super happy with my surround set, what a sound and how great it looks in white!!!

Thank you Nubert,
my already great enjoyment of music has become even greater.

ps. It's great that you have such good packaging because ups doesn't handle the parts very well (at least for me)... There was a hole in the packaging of both the 174 and the 1100 and a lot of damage. Fortunately there was nothing on the speakers, thanks to the good packaging.

Two weeks ago I bought an AW-600 to round off my 5.1 system. After two days of delivery, I had the feeling of Christmas in February when I unpacked the really excellent packaging. The workmanship and feel of the sub are excellent.

After two weeks of testing with different setups and settings as well as with music and movies, I found the optimum configuration. In stereo mode, the bass supports my front speakers (KEF IQ7) and in home theater mode, it's really fun to watch movies (Gladiator, Lord of the Rings, etc.).

However, my desires are now aroused. Two Nuline 284s and a new center should complete the switch, as the rear speakers are already there with two DS22s.

After 2 years of enthusiasm with the Nubox 511, we decided to "upgrade" to the Nuvero 11 about 2 months ago. The speakers were delivered in just 2 days and were waiting to be compared with the already excellent 511s. So I immediately unpacked the speakers and connected them up.
I was quite surprised to find that the differences between the 511 (with ATM) and the Nuvero 11 (without ATM) were not so dramatic at first. Of course, the mids were once again much more concise, the highs somewhat cleaner and the bass range more balanced. But there was initially no trace of the "abysmal" bass. So instead of the Sony Dolby surround receiver, I connected a relatively powerful T+A amplifier (PA 1500R) and set up the speakers in the living room (relatively close to the wall).
Now the bass was there, but the sound "stuck" to the speakers and there was a lack of transparency. After moving the speakers away from the rear wall (and the side walls), the sound suddenly changed completely: the speakers now played with a sovereignty and cleanliness that was hardly noticeable before. However, in the original position - free-standing near the dining area - and with the somewhat weak Dolby surround receiver, the sound was again quite flat. So it was clear that a new amplifier was needed (yes, the follow-up costs...). The old one is quite OK for the 511, but the Nuvero require considerably more power and reserves for the impulses and mercilessly reveal any weakness in the amplifier. I would hardly have thought this possible before.
A phone call with the very friendly and helpful Mr. Härter at Nubert resulted in some good recommendations. After further research and test listening in a hi-fi studio (with sinfully expensive speakers from another manufacturer), the decision was made in favor of the Cambridge Audio 851A, which Mr. Härter named as one of the favorites.
When the amplifier was delivered, we could hardly believe our ears: suddenly the vocals were absolutely clean, the treble crystal clear and the bass deep and accentuated. Even with large orchestras and complex music, the individual instruments are now clearly differentiated and always remain clean, even at relatively high volumes. Low voices, such as on Johnny Cash / American Recordings, are now simply incredible. The same applies to high female voices, be it Joan Baez or Joan Sutherland from the opera world. So far, we haven't found any music that has pushed this combination to its limits.
Our conclusion: The Nuvero 11 are incredibly clean and dynamic speakers that make listening to music an experience every time, but they require a very good amplifier and should also be positioned relatively freely in the room. For us, the Nuvero 11 in combination with the Cambridge Audio 851A amplifier is a dream combination that we can only warmly recommend. Whether reference class or top class: simply world class for us. Thank you and best regards to the brilliant loudspeaker builders and competent advisors at Nubert!

I returned my nubox 481 today ... and after a long comparison, I decided on the nubox 511 - for me personally, the 481s had too little midrange - which led to frequency gaps in some pieces of music. The exchange was sensationally problem-free - despite the missing boxes (both thumbs up and a thank you to nubert for this) - once I got home, my gut feeling was confirmed that I had made the right decision - what would you have paid for this sound quality and value of these speakers a few years ago? - The nubox 511 is an absolute recommendation to buy that is simply fun !!!

Got it today and what can I say. The absolute WAHNSINN !!!
It's indescribable what a brilliant sound. I am absolutely thrilled, especially the bass that comes out of such a speaker. Simply unbelievable. Thanks to Mr. Günther Nubert. A truly German masterpiece.

Hello !

On Friday 8.2.2013 I ordered 4 Nubert Nuvero 3 by e-mail.
On Tuesday I received a notification from UPS in my letterbox that the delivery was unsuccessful.
My e-mail order clearly stated to ship with DHL, which in my opinion should not be a problem with a freight weight of approx. 20 kg each.
So what to do. I called the UPS hotline and arranged a pick-up appointment for the same evening. Unfortunately, the pick-up location is a good 60 km away from where I live.
But when I finally unpacked the two boxes at around 8 p.m., everything wasn't quite so bad. The parts are really neatly finished.
Set up and connected. What can I say.
These parts replace my good old Nuwave RS 5.
No comparison. Everything is better, just like before.
Now my heart is warm again and I have forgotten the little mishap.

Greetings from the beautiful Weserbergland

I have visited the hearing studios twice with my wife. We received friendly and competent advice from both Mr. Kohler and Mr. Krause. It quickly became clear to us that we would have to say goodbye to our surround system from Berlin - which really isn't bad - and go back to a stereo system. After the second visit, it was clear that it had to be either the nuLine 102 or 284. After some hesitation, we opted for the nuLine 284 in white, and what can I say, we haven't regretted it. We listen to just about everything from Renaissance music to jazz, which is fun in terms of sound. And it's fun with these speakers, which let us experience our music collection in a new way! Two speakers are more than enough for us (these two are rather oversized for our living conditions), now it's clear again where the music comes from! They have a first-class finish and are really impressive.
Mr. Holger Nubert helped us choose the amplifier (NAD 375 with digital module), the Bluray player (Cambridge 751) and the TV. We had some bad luck with the amplifier, so it had to be replaced twice, which Mr. H. Nubert dealt with unbureaucratically. Correspondence by e-mail was also swift and friendly. Last but not least, we also received a very reasonable price for the amplifier, Bluray player and TV. So now we are also joining in the hymns of praise, but it is gratifying that such experiences still exist today.

I've been reading the forum for a long time and looked at and listened to the NuVero range in Schwäbisch Gmünd and at the High End in Munich, after which it was clear that I also needed speakers like these. Now I've had my "pair" of NuVero7s on the ST-7 in a 2.0 configuration for almost 3 months and I can't get the grin off my face, or rather it's getting BROADER and BROADER!!!! 😎 Since the nuVero's have been in my living room, hardly a moment goes by without listening to music, at most when I'm watching a BD or at work. :redface:
However, my focus has shifted towards music and I now perceive my music collection very differently. Listening to music with the NuVero's is an absolute experience!!! 😎 I think I will have many more wonderful and enjoyable hours of pure listening pleasure - thanks to these "Nu masterpieces". All the positive feedback I've read so far, either in the guestbook or in the forum, is 1000 percent correct.
The only problem I had was that a NuVero speaker didn't fit on the stand. So I called Nubert and described my problem. I was promised a call back, which took longer than usual that day. However, I put this down to the high volume of consultations during the free shipping promotion, so this is by no means the norm. The box was replaced very quickly without any problems and the replacement box also fitted.
The customer friendliness, the very good advice, the service and the fast delivery from Nubert is second to none. Please keep up the good work!!!
