Moin,
I've been the (proud) owner of a pair of nuLine 102s in white for a good 4 weeks now.
They are connected to a Cambridge 740A, with signals supplied by a Cambridge 740C or a Rega P3 24 in conjunction with the Cambridge 640P phono preamplifier.
(The English may not be able to play soccer, but they have a real knack for hi-fi '😬')
In the forums and test reports, there is always discussion about the upgraded bass performance of the nuLine 102, so I was almost a little skeptical as to whether these speakers have enough bass performance, but more on that later.
There is only one thing to say about workmanship and customer service: perfect!
Before I evaluated these speakers, I gave them plenty of time to break in with all types of music and volume levels. This was really necessary as their sound continuously improved and harmonized. (switch position neutral).
I listen to almost any kind of music with a slight emphasis on jazz and blues, but I am quite demanding when it comes to recording quality. This applies to both vinyl and CD.
In terms of placement, I use the supplied feet with the felt coasters, as the speakers stand on old floorboards.
The first thing that strikes you about the nuLine 102's sound is its neutrality. Nothing is glossed over, overemphasized or attenuated. Just as it should be and, in my opinion, must be.
The sound image is always clearly structured and the instruments and voices are excellently detached from the speakers. The bass performance is absolutely coherent. When bass is required from the recording, the nuLine 102 knows no mercy (music tip: Soja Born in Babylon). I simply can't understand all this talk about more bass. Highs are reproduced crystal clear and the transition to mids and bass is harmonious and realistic. The nuLine 102 reproduces all types of music neutrally and sounds even better loud than quiet.
I can only advise anyone interested to connect high-quality hi-fi components, as the Nuline 102s have monitor qualities and can only reproduce the signal quality that is fed to them.
After a long search, I have finally found the last link in my new hi-fi stereo chain.
Many thanks to the Nubert team.

moin moin,
I got my new full equipment from Nubert. The 511s + ABL and a matching stereo amplifier. From A (like "request by phone") to Z (like delivery of the subsequent delivery) everything was perfect.
Once I had all the components at home, I rearranged the apartment to get the best possible sound experience... 😬 ...it worked (so the thing with the sound experience).

I was a little skeptical at first because of the (all too many?) enthusiastic entries in the guestbook. But now:
For my 50th birthday, I finally wanted to afford a good and affordable music system that would serve me just as well with 70s rock as with a concerto grosso by Handel.
An advertisement in Zweitausendeins led me to Nubert:
Homepage: Clear, well-organized and with the option of choosing between brief, quick information and detailed technical information.
Buying advice (telephone and e-mail) very good (including clarification of the conditions in the listening room via digital photos).
Order processing and delivery very professional, even a small complaint (incorrect production of a cover grille) was dealt with quickly and without any problems.
And now I am the proud owner of a nuLine 32 plus nuLine AW 560 combination of Cambridge Audio components:
Very harmonious combination, makes my beloved baroque music really sparkle, balanced, full in the mids and clearly and cleanly accentuated in the highs.
And if you prefer the rock'n'roll faction:
With the AW 560 as the basis, the system easily makes the roof tiles applaud.
Conclusion: Another enthusiastic guestbook entry 😬

I've been a big home theater fan for 20 years. My equally old speaker equipment cost about the price of a small car back then (4 floorstanding speakers, center and subwoofer).
I was still quite satisfied with the home cinema sound, but somehow I was no longer happy with pure stereo operation. Without subwoofer support, there was a lack of bass foundation, the mids were somehow washed out and everything sounded somehow 'pressed'.
I already knew Nubert through my brother, who owns a surround set from the nuBox series. Even then I was amazed at how good these relatively inexpensive speakers sounded!
During the Whitsun vacations, which I spent in Italy, I studied the Nubert info package for days (compliments to nuMarketing!). In the end I decided on a nuLine set consisting of nuLine 102, nuLine AW-1000 and nuLine CS-42. 2 of my old floorstanding speakers still do a good job as rear speakers.
I have to say that I found the decision relatively difficult. And that's down to the honesty of the Nubert company! Nubert gives the frequency response of the nuLine 102 as 52 ? 24,000 Hz ±3 dB. My old speakers were specified with 33 ? 45,000 Hz. Should the Nubert speakers really have such a weak bass response?
OK, I now know what this is all about. If Nubert, like most of its competitors, were to specify the DIN frequency range, the nuLine 102 would be at 17 ? 30,000 Hz.
But now to my actual experiences. As I couldn't wait for my trip to Italy, I drove to Aalen on the first day after my vacation to listen to the speakers and take them home with me.
My impression in the listening studio was good, so I ordered and paid for the nuLines in black. The first shock came when the 'cart' arrived with my goods! Although I drive one of the most spacious estate cars, I wasn't sure at first whether I would be able to fit everything in. But I managed by the skin of my teeth!
When I arrived home, I unfortunately had to get my wife to help me carry (or rather heave) the boxes up the stairs into the house. What felt like 2 hours of quarry work and a slipped disc later, the new equipment was connected and in place! My compliments for the exemplary packaging and the excellent workmanship of the speakers!
The first listening test in my own living room almost blew me away! Although it is said that the nuLine 102 is "rather slim", it immediately impressed me with its fantastic low-frequency foundation, which comes across as punchy and powerful. But what impressed me most was the fine, precise and clean sound in the mid-range. This was practically non-existent with my old speakers! Not to mention the fact that I also really like the high frequencies. The fact is that I now really enjoy listening to music in stereo again, it's an absolute pleasure! Even my wife, who is rather uninterested in technology, had to admit (a little reluctantly) that the difference in sound compared to my old equipment is light years!
In home theater mode, the difference is not quite as great, but it is also clearly audible and, above all, noticeable! The AW-1000's brute bass power seems limitless! In the 9 o'clock position (25% volume according to the measuring system) the cannon duel in 'Master and Commander' makes the floor tremble and chases the bass pulses right into the pit of your stomach! The AW-1000 is a beast that needs to be tamed! I don't even want to know what it would do if you were to overdo it with the volume!
The CS-42 center speaker has the same frequency range as the front speakers. This ensures absolute harmony in combination with the nuLine 102 and the measurement system of my Denon AV receiver recognizes it as 'BIG'. The intelligibility of dialog is also a class above with this center speaker.
Conclusion: I am very happy with my decision and can recommend the nuLine Set 102 without hesitation! Here you get top sound at a fair price!

Dear Nubert team!
Thank you for building such great speakers.
As of today I am the proud owner of 2 681s and to be honest I am blown away by what a speaker in this price range is capable of.
It's really fun to listen to music!
Greetings from Carinthia / Moosburg (where it's pretty loud at the moment 😉)

I treated myself to a NUBERT SUB 441 for Christmas 2009 and have to say,
I have never heard a sub like this (previously AS10 from Canton). Something so brilliant, especially if you listen quietly.... simply brilliant... thanks to Mr. Nubert for this enrichment!!!

Yay,
I have recently acquired a fully equipped Nubert set! The Nuline 102 set with everything that goes with it now fills my home theater with sound.
It's indescribable what the overall tuning of the speakers does to each other. At first the surround was from another company, now it's Nubert. I am thrilled. The whole thing now harmonizes much better and music and film sound come across even better and more coherently.
The advice from Mr. Härer at Nubert is excellent. Thank you very much for the good advice on the phone and on site! You have to experience it.
You're in good hands here. Ordered, paid, 2 days later knock, knock, here are your speakers. Awesome! You can test everything in the listening studios. Simply great. AND: there's not always someone there pushing and shoving, no, here you sit quietly and relaxed in front of the hammer speakers and listen to some of the software you've brought with you. First-class customer confidence! That convinced me back then and I have no regrets. The Nuline is a great speaker. It produces endless pressure and, in my opinion, can reproduce any style of music.
I had received a "gift check" from Nubert for my birthday. I was wondering: why don't you call it a "NuScheck"?
Maybe I've just come up with an idea? Who knows?
I just think it's great that you don't end up in a service desert with Nubert, whether on site or on the phone. Simply top and always worthy of praise!
Keep up the good work,
Greetings from Hamburg

Hello,
I have also owned Nubert "Nubox 381" products for a year now and am very impressed with both the service and the sound quality.
Once Nubert always Nubert!
No Ultra Mr. Egon Struck can change that.
Greetings Jose

Hello "it doesn't matter at all". You're probably out of luck. I can only give Nubis top marks! Really nice people on the phone and competent advice! Just give them a call!
(I can say that because I don't think I'm an easy customer - with lots of questions)
Greetings
