Hello, I am now the owner of 2 Nuline 80 and subwoofer AW 7. My previous speakers were the 140 from T+A from the Tal series. I only had to part with them because of my living arrangements. Of course, I didn't expect to get the same quality for a third of the cost (for the front speakers). While the subwoofer really is a high-end device at a good price/performance ratio, the Nuline 80s are a different story. The Nuline 80s provide a reasonably balanced all-round performance, but I can't share the general enthusiasm. I can only report a rudimentary audiophile sound. With Paul Simon's Graceland I had hoped for a more spatial presentation. Other CDs, such as Dire Straits' On Every Street, hardly scored in terms of dynamics and transparent instrumentation. The bass response on Calling Elvis was certainly there in terms of volume, but not very differentiated. The mid and treble ranges were also often not particularly melodious, but satisfactory at best. Recordings such as What do you want from me from Pink Floyd's last studio CD have a rather shrill dispersion behavior in the treble range, almost annoying. Marillion's first CD also had similar problems. Unfortunately, I also have to report one or two negative things in the vocal range. With Sade's Promise, the voice was hardly manifested and could not be heard with much clarity and detail. Suzanne Vega's Tom's Dinner was more convincing, but not exactly high-end. Of course, you also have to consider the price of the speakers, their size and their rather elegant appearance. I don't want to say that the speaker sounds bad, but after studying the guestbook I expected a lot more. In my opinion, the price-performance ratio is not as excellent as many people make it out to be. What you get here is an excellently manufactured speaker with adequate sound characteristics. I wasn't sure either after the 4 weeks of trial listening, which was actually absolutely sufficient, and now it's just too late. I don't blame Nubert either. The speaker is not a flop, my expectations were probably too high. However, I wouldn't buy this speaker again and I'm also considering reselling the speakers, although I realize that I'll probably have to go a bit further for my requirements. However, this is all subjective and other music listeners are also more satisfied with the Nuline 80 and not because they don't have a clue, but tastes are different and hearing sensations can also be very different.

Hello, after a long period of hesitation and a certain amount of skepticism about the consistently positive entries here in the guestbook, I decided to order the following speakers from Nubert 3 weeks ago. Nuline 80 Nuline CS 150 Nuline AW550 The old speakers are to serve as rear speakers for the time being. After my questions were patiently answered and the last doubts about my plans were dispelled, I completed the order. UPS was at the door on the agreed delivery date, great. After removing the speakers from their packaging, I connected and aligned them with great anticipation. Before I could switch on the amplifier, my wife said, "Here's a note saying that the speakers should first reach room temperature. So no listening, just watching. I used the time to check for any visual defects, but everything was perfect. The cabinet finish of the speakers is very nice and high quality. The beech veneer has a pleasant grain with a beautiful color tone. With the attached metal grilles and screwed-on spikes, the Nuline 80 makes a high-quality visual impression, as do the center and subwoofer. After 3 hours, the time had come, power ON, stereo mode on and my favorite CD playing. What comes next is of course subjective and only valid for the listening tastes of my wife and I in our 4 walls. The sound and space produced by the Nuline 80 is truly outstanding. It is much better than our old speakers of the same size from a well-known German manufacturer, which incidentally cost just as much about 10 years ago. So I popped a DVD into the player and tested the multi-channel sound. After adjusting the subwoofer, I now have a bass foundation in my living room that never ceases to amaze me. Even when it's raging all around you, the center brings the speech across clearly and intelligibly. All in all, an outstanding sound experience. As I am more than satisfied, I felt the need to say so here. My appreciation and many thanks to all of you at Nubert. Jürgen Oepen

Dear Nubert team, after half a year of listening to various speakers, I ended up in the Nubert store in Aalen and bought a complete surround set (Nuline 100,30,CS-40). First of all: I am very happy with my choice. However, it wasn't just the good speakers that were decisive, I was also tired of the fuss that other hi-fi stores make about the products. Silver cables, speaker cables on absorbers etc.pp. Not to mention the high discount offers, which leave a lot of doubts about the fairness of the RRP. About the speakers: When I tried them out, it was actually clear to me that I would only be really happy with the NuWave 125, but not only my wife's wishes, but also my own ideas didn't match up with the 125's bulky appearance. The black foil doesn't really look great, especially as there is plenty of it. The front is a matter of taste, but ok. The Nuline 100 has a very analytical sound, the mid-range lacks a little punch (especially noticeable with percussion, etc.), the bass range is discreet, the low bass range is great. I find the 30s roar cubes surprising. DVD-Audio is especially fun when a lot of things come through the two rear speakers. Particularly brilliant: A night at the opera by Queen. I have experimented a lot with the center and have now achieved satisfactory results. I hope that Nubert will take the time to add a larger version to the range. We've been listening to a lot of music since we bought it and have rediscovered many old CDs. Great! I check the Nubert website from time to time in the hope that there will be a visually enhanced version of the 125 at some point (or a custom store for individual customer requests). For example, a body covered in piano lacquer with a real wood front would be fantastic. Due to the outstanding sound, I wouldn't shy away from 3,000 euros for the pair. Don't misunderstand, dear Nubert fans - I don't want to upset anyone, but Nubert also lives from feedback. Nubert products are definitely a good choice. Dirk

Hi, I was also in Schwäbisch Gmünd yesterday and fulfilled a long-cherished dream: 2 x NuWave 85, 2 x RS-5, 1 x AW-7. I almost went for 125s, but then common sense and respect for my neighbors' sleep won out. I played around and tried things out until 2 a.m. and am still thrilled. Fabulous Suround sound, even though I had set some things incorrectly at the beginning. Simply great. What I can also only confirm are the hymns of praise regarding the extremely competent and patient advice. It is not a matter of course that you postpone the end of your working day by a whole (!) hour just because the customer absolutely wants to hear NuLine versus NuWave. Thank you, Mr. Kellner. Dog-tired but happy (and without any smilies) Andi

Dear Nubert fans (and those who want to become one) ! I would like to thank you for the exemplary service and the great speakers that arrived yesterday. I received a pair of Nuline 100s in cherry (real wood veneer) at no extra charge in a time-consuming custom-made order. The workmanship of the Nuline series is first class, fine veneer, masterfully crafted cabinet, flush-mounted drivers, no sharp edges on the grille. The sound is exemplarily balanced, spatially very transparent and not too inflated, very clear and relaxed, excellently resolved (especially in the mid-range), the bass is very deep and precise. The packaging and accessories also leave nothing to be desired. With these speakers, I have finally arrived where I wanted to be after many bad purchases. Many thanks for the uncomplicated handling of my special requests, the emails from Mr. Nubert, the excellent advice from Mr. Bühler, the service from Ms. Richter - and for my personal dream speaker, the Nuline 100! Yours, Elmar Battenberg

Hello, a small addendum to my post of January 30th in which I complained about the surprising delay in delivery of my AW 1000: The 1-2 weeks announced at the time have now only turned into 6 days, and I can say that it was worth the wait. The sound dimension that this sub conjures up even with the Canton RC-Ls, which are not exactly known for their weak bass, is gigantic. The 5.1 track from Attack of the Clones was never the same again... The great thing is that you don't have to drive at levels that endanger the good neighborhood to enjoy it. (Mmm, well, maybe it will come 🙂 Great fun! Kind regards from Cologne M. Wisur

Hello Harry, I also sometimes smile at the inflation of exclamation marks, smilies and other expressions of enthusiasm in the guestbook entries. Let everyone do what they want. What counts: The bottom line is that the customer feedback is remarkably positive, something I have never experienced with any other company. Perhaps it's the combination of service, customer proximity and product quality that is just right at Nubert. In any case, I can only subscribe to this quintessence - quite calmly.

Hi, I ordered a nuBox-380-Set 1 (2 x 380 / 1 x CS-330 / 2 x 310 / 1 x AW-440) together with accessories (stand, wall bracket etc.) online on Sunday evening and received the complete set today on Wednesday via UPS. My initial concerns about the small AW-440 were literally blown away after playing the well-known tracks often quoted here. Simply awesome. This fart-dry bass is impossible to locate with the 100 Hz separation of the Marantz 4300 and also plays superbly with the 380s in sereo mode. The center is a stunner, and not just because of its size. That's all the normal user needs. A satisfied customer thanks the Nubert team.

Hello Harry When you read something like that, you can only shake your head. Why don't you come to the forum and have a chat with the teenagers?
