Dear Nubert team, hi-fi enthusiasts and of course the Nubert 'community',

More than a year ago, I ventured into the world of hi-fi with two Nubert Nubox 381s in combination with an Onkyo 608. Certainly nothing special, but for the money I expected disproportionate performance. Well, I was not disappointed!

I have to mention that I'm not as familiar with the subject as others. However, I believe I have a good ear as I have always been very critical of sound and my ears have been misused by my friends to tune the system.

The advice, order and delivery from Nubert was first class. Not a single point of criticism. The replacement of the Onkyo 608 due to damage to the fan was also very unbureaucratic. I received the replacement unit first and was then told to send the defective one back. Unfortunately, it's the other way around with other providers. Keep up the good work Nubert!

Once my little treasures were unpacked and more or less optimally set up (unfortunately everything is still relatively cramped at the moment, but this will change after the move), I started listening to them for the first time. The first impression was ok but not outstanding. But the instruction leaflet said you should give your hearing a little time. That wasn't a lie, every day my grin grew a little wider. In the meantime, I can no longer do without it. A more than pleasant change when you've just been listening to your original speakers in the car (Toyota Starlet year 97 ? you can imagine the sound).

But now to the speakers. They are positioned in the corners of the room with sufficient distance from the wall. One is on my desk and the other is on the shelf. Angled towards the sofa at head height. Apart from the two 381s, I don't have any other speakers in the room. No sub, no ATM module! Switch position neutral, equalizer from Onkyo neutral, 4ohm setting and the 381s naturally at full range. I have not changed any other settings that influence the sound. I also tried the calibration system but a) I don't need it for stereo anyway and b) the sound didn't convince me either.

The speakers are mainly used for music. I also watch the odd movie/series. My taste in music is a bit mixed. For me, the speakers can play metal, rock, a little trance or even PUR. Apart from the fact that InFlames now really only sounds like noise, I'm completely satisfied. But I don't want to say I wasn't warned. Honest speakers and all that. It's just a different musical feeling. It sounds more perfect than anything I've heard before. Even at high levels, it still sounds exactly as it should and so far I haven't reached the maximum because, due to the volume, it feels like you have to leave the room in a hurry long before the speakers reach the end.

I find the sound of movies even more positive than the music. Although the Onkyo certainly plays its part there. I can well imagine that I would have had a different experience with a StereoAMP. My first field test with the combination was with an Avatar Bluray (currently on the market at the time and an acceptable DTS track). Towards the end of the movie, during the battle in the flying mountains, I really thought for a few moments that I had a fully-fledged 5.1 system in the room. In fact, it was the Nuberts that set up an impressive stage in front of me. I think that's remarkable for the price range.

The bass is not lacking either. Without a subwoofer, I was initially a little skeptical as to whether this would meet my requirements. After a few movies it was clear: Yes, it does (for now)! A medium volume is enough to annoy the neighbors, make the sofa vibrate or, at the right frequency, make the cupboard doors in the next room make music. Hey, and all that from a shelf speaker! I am absolutely thrilled.

We watched the Tron Legacy Bluray at the weekend. With Daft Punkt's background music, I didn't expect anything else, but what came out of the small shelf speakers was brute. A flawless sound and harmonious bass that wasn't too strong and not too weak. Just right!

It's hard to put your impressions into words, but when the neighbor's woolly mice are dancing the samba, the corners of your mouth tighten in front of your friends, it's freezing cold down your spine or you hold on to the sofa during the effects. Yes, then I am firmly convinced that I have chosen the right speakers with the Nubox 381.

After the move, the whole system will be expanded to become a fully-fledged 5.1. Without a doubt Nubert again 😂

Hello,

some time ago I ordered nuvero 5 as center and DS-22 as rears. Convinced by the good quality and the problem-free processing, the floorstanding speakers for the front were also due.

Unfortunately, my order for two nuvero 11s slipped into the busy Easter period. Nevertheless, I have to say - hats off! Despite all the trials and tribulations caused by the IT system going haywire, my order was processed smoothly and unbureaucratically. Only a few days delay, but active communication from the Nubert staff (thanks to Mr. Rettenmeier) and still very speedy delivery.

As usual, the parts were superbly packaged, easy to assemble and install and immediately sounded much better than their predecessors, which were larger in volume but also somewhat aged.

Great parts!
Many thanks and best regards, Hubert

Hello hi-fi community,

As a newbie to Nubert, I would like to share my first impression of the complete replacement of my existing speaker system.

As a long-time fan of larger, good floorstanding speakers supplemented by a large subwoofer, a center for the board and various rear speakers on stands, I was sometimes spoiled, sometimes overwhelmed by the sound, regardless of the difficult-to-integrate visual backdrop. So after all these years, I wanted to make a completely new start in my living room of just 24 square meters. My previous favorite speaker manufacturer didn't have the right speakers in its range. So I defined the following requirements:

- A satellite subwoofer system that is as 'audiophile' as possible
- Discreet wall mounting of all 5 speakers
- Light or white color, no wooden structures.
- no too big and bulky subwoofer cube.
- Center that can be hung above the LCD TV without it protruding significantly.
- A system that is as variable and easily configurable as possible for stereo, analog surround or digital surround from Blu-ray. Also in terms of placement and when moving house.
- Conveying value and visual sophistication.
- Very important: Sound quality suitable for everyday use with a rating of very good, without wanting to constantly explain and demonstrate terms and CDs with the imprint Reference.

My choice fell on 3 x Nuvero 5 (front), 2 x DS-22 (rear) and 1 x AW-560, all in white at the moment without covers. (I got anthracite grilles from Nubert for the Nuveros, a real visual insider tip).
I deliberately decided against a Nuvero 3 at the rear and against the AW-1000, as this option was too big for me personally.

After a few days and weeks, I am absolutely convinced that I have taken exactly the right path. The system sometimes plays light and airy, sometimes grown-up and big. However, it also took some in-depth testing to find the optimum settings on the receiver for me and to make the sub as difficult to locate as possible.

The mid-high range is much more present and refined than expected. First class.
The boominess in the upper bass is almost non-existent. Excellent.
In home theater mode, the combination works very well together. The sound is impressively spectacular, with a high level of differentiation in the siganle and very good spatiality, including a slightly noticeable bass at knee height and fantastic treble performance. This makes even slightly louder listening fun again. That's how it should be.
The look is great. Even if the Nuveros don't look as creamy/beige on the web as they really are...
The fact that I have mixed two series (Nuvero / Nuline) doesn't have a negative impact on the look or sound of my setup.

Briefly my setup for testers. Receiver Onkyo TX-NR 3008. 4.5 x 5.5 m room.
Front: Large ! High frequencies concise. Woofer free-standing. Box is wall-mounted, vertical from 75cm height.
Center: 80hz. Gentle treble. Woofer free-standing. Box is wall-mounted, horizontal from 125cm height.
Rear: 80hz. Dipole on, speaker aimed at me! Box from 130cm height with WH-5 on rear wall.
Sub: On sub 30 hz lp, volume and frequency at 10 o'clock. Phase 0. However, the distance was changed from the real 4.20 meters to 6.75 meters on the receiver, otherwise it boomed here and there...

All in all, for only 2,800 ? the complete changeover has been more than successful for me. I'm really happy, which wasn't a given for me when it came to loudspeakers.
So it can be nicer, better and cheaper... than in the past with me.
Thank you very much!

As always, everything was delivered quickly and well. Nothing more needs to be said about the quality. I've had a church organ in my room for a few days now (ATM 511 to nuBox 511)

Hello, Nubert.de!

I received the nubox 381 and then the matching module on May 12 and 13...

I have heard some demonstration units, e.g. from "B..." 😉 or from other high-priced suppliers, but they never really convinced me or sounded artificial.

But I heard about the Nubert company and became aware of it. I was a bit suspicious, but since I'm usually curious, I ordered the nuBox 381 and the module.

When I connected the speakers to my "NAD C315 BEE" ...

(yes, I know, my dear hi-fi fanatics, not a high-price model, but that's all I really need and with the right equipment, a "beginner's amplifier" will also flatten an audiophile like a buddy of mine whose parents had a B&O system at home....:rolleyes: )

...plugged it in, gently turned up the volume and played the intro to Seniorenclub, I almost staggered to the wall, so overwhelming and unadulterated, that's how music should sound!

Whether jazz, classical music, techno, death metal, lounge...the nuBox 381 doesn't make the music sound weak or distorted in any way, you can hear the nuances but also the mistakes, which I don't mind because I love pure sound above all else.

The next day, I received the module as a partial delivery, thanks to the lady from Nubert Service, my mother still had a few questions and the partial delivery was solved super!!!!

O.K. back to the module...I am a person who is hard to impress, but who loves to be surprised.

The nuBoxes are already a blast, but with the module I have no more worries, this was the best purchase I've ever made and I don't want any other speakers.

The module expands the sound image by spheres (sounds philosophical, but I can't express it any other way 😂 ) let alone the bass... the bass can get so strong that I would need a new wall if I blasted a death metal record at more than 25% volume with full module support...*sweat*.

If the music was in chains, Nubert is the savior!

But as I said, the NuBox doesn't forgive mistakes, if you have a faulty recording, you'll hear every discordant note, not for warm showers and plush listeners! 😉

Congratulations to the Nubert team and the super service, you have a new customer! Any time again!

LG

Hello,
I've owned the nuBox 381 since Tuesday and I have to say I'm absolutely delighted 😂 .
Sufficient bass, clear highs and great mids make listening to music an experience.
So much quality at this price, UNBEATABLE!!!
Today I had the opportunity to listen to the Quantum 653 from Magnat at home and I'm definitely sticking with Nubert speakers.
I'm going to get the nuBox CS-411 center speaker soon. 😬

Greetings Peter

I can only say, unbelievable!
I had a 5.1 system put together. 2x nuBox 481, 1x nuBox WS-201, 2x nuBox 101, 1x nuBox AW-441.
But I had first taken 2x nuBox 311 as front speakers. But they were still a bit too weak in the stereo range. After a brief consultation, I went back the next day. Expressed my ideas. Top advice! Then switched to the 481s. No problem with returns and exchanges. That's service!
I have to say the system is simply great! I didn't think there would be such a difference to my previous "08/15" 5.1 system.
The speakers are definitely worth the money! Would and will buy from you again 😬

Thanks to the Nubert team in Gmünd!

PS: My wife was initially taken aback by the 481s. But that subsided when I fitted the covers 😉

Best regards
Frank

hello Nsf,

I would like to register in your forum, unfortunately no confirmation code is displayed during registration, but this is necessary to create an account for the forum. Perhaps you could fix the error.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Nubert for their first-class service.
About 4 weeks ago my AW-560 stopped making a sound; I called nubi and received instructions for a function test. Unfortunately, the function test using a CD player also failed - so I requested packaging and a return bill (the subwoofer is still under the 5-year warranty) from nubi. Brought the subwoofer to the post office on Saturday - callback on Tuesday: "Your subwoofer is working-" ??? "We will replace the circuit board anyway."
On Friday, the subwoofer was back home - and running. It will probably be impossible to find out what the cause of the fault was. However, the service provided by Nubert is commendable in every respect - and the fire had no effect whatsoever on the processing time. Thank you very much.

PS:
I will probably order a few nuPro's for the sound system in my study via Sqeezebox.

I have never experienced anything like this before. I had the impression that my aw441 wasn't pressing like that anymore, I sent it in, got it back after 5 days, no fault found, replaced the amplifier module anyway and lo and behold, I have the feeling it's pressing again like at the beginning...I don't know this service from any other company, many thanks to Nubi.
Now I'll save a bit and then I'll add more nubis.
Top service!
