I have recently joined the Nubert fan circle and the Nu Box 360 is a real hit! Simply unique, sound, dynamics, bass, I am really overwhelmed, and that at a price that seems unrivaled to me, I would not have expected that from a speaker of this size, and not only your products are top, your service, your website, delivery conditions, really recommendable, I will certainly recommend your company and your products to others, best regards Helmut Haspel

Dear Nubert team, I have finally become a member of your fan community about 4 weeks ago and am completely thrilled. Not only does the Nu-wave surround set with CS-4, AW7, Nuwave 10 and RS-5 simply sound very harmonious and unobtrusive (which I never had any doubts about before ordering) - they also look much better than I thought from the photos. The elegant BS-103 speaker stand certainly contributes a lot to this. I would also like to thank you for your kind, competent and patient advice and the prompt delivery. With best regards

Dear Mr. Axel, if you have any questions about our products and accessories, please call our toll-free hotline 0800-6823780. Thank you for your understanding, best regards, the Nubert Speaker Factory team

Inexpensive speaker stands also at Nubert.de. Caution !!! The speaker stands do not always look like the pictures! (e.g. on the BS 70 speaker stands, the tube is not in one piece, but is divided into 2 halves by a black plastic ring. On the photo on the Nubert homepage it looks as if it is one tube. IS THAT RIGHT?

Dear Mr. Siegle, dear Mr. Bühler, first of all, thank you very much for the patient advice and customer-oriented first reaction to problems, which - in contrast to many other providers - is still provided by you even after the purchase contract has been signed... First impressions: Super-fast delivery within one day (ordered speakers and system 10:30 the day before yesterday, arrived yesterday at 10:30), carefully and robustly packaged. The speakers (NuWave10 in yellow-orange) look better in reality than in the pictures (I admittedly had some reservations about this....) and also appear somewhat more unobtrusive (probably due to their slim shape) (I also had some reservations about this at first). And are still an eye-catcher. Very well made, especially little things like the solid connection terminal with neat bridges stand out. Impressive sound, even without optimization in terms of placement, no comparison with my old JBL speakers, which are certainly not that bad either, but the Nuwave10 is simply better in every respect. Particularly noticeable: Clean, dry bass and low tones that really get under your skin (even very critical things like my favorite Didgeridoo CD), enormous locatability of instruments and voices (that's what the neighbor told me [without bribery or other influence on my part :-)], who was also curious about it and was there to try it out, and actually isn't such a freak, she was really jealous *g*). You can listen for a long time without being annoyed, like with my old ones, it's really hard to switch them off in the evening, and I don't think that's just an effect on the first day, which soon wears off... No booming or unpleasant resonances, you can hear the instruments too, and not just sonic clutter, even smaller details that were previously lost in the general sound carpet, generally speaking: much more natural and closer to reality than my old speakers and that's exactly what I wanted. A system that makes it really fun to listen to good music again, where the music also appeals to the emotions and you can really sink into the music, forget the world around you, without being annoyed by the system's sonic shortcomings after 1 or 2 hours at the latest (often without knowing exactly WHAT is annoying). And I think that anyone who simply enjoys listening to music can understand that. And I definitely do with these speakers. Simply awesome, the whole thing (even if the word isn't quite politically correct, it's just right :-)... What struck me: I didn't have the impression that the music was THAT loud. When I wanted to say something and couldn't hear my own voice properly, I realized just HOW loud the music actually was... This is probably due to the fact that with poorer equipment you have the impression of hearing very loud music even at lower levels due to the distortion (at least that's what I think). I don't see myself as a hi-fi fanatic, I just want to listen to good music, and in the end I mainly looked into it to avoid expensive bad purchases, and because I only found more or less rudimentary knowledge about the products sold, overworked salespeople and pushy PR at the electronics retailers (with a few dedicated exceptions, to be fair), and mostly rather lyrical masterpieces or technical gibberish in the relevant hi-fi magazines. I didn't find any really helpful and confidence-inspiring decision-making aids in this extremely confusing market). Nubert's free telephone consultation was one of the few laudable exceptions - even without the possibility of a direct product demonstration, it ultimately provided far more help than the big players in the industry, despite having full shelves behind them...) And on top of that: there's nothing like listening to a sample at home:-) One more word on the subject of bass: Even the smaller bass (probably due to the size of the cabinet) of the NuBox 300, which I've had in my bedroom for a few months now, gets under my skin more than many other even larger speakers and EVERYTHING else I've heard in this size from friends, although - not to misunderstand me - the bass is also significantly more than I would have expected from this size. Probably because the bass and other lower frequencies that are there come out really clean and not so boomy and/or booming and artificial. The little one is also a lot of fun, at least in a smaller room (13 square meters), which is probably what it was made for. - And was ultimately also the trigger for my decision to give Nubert a chance with the planned speakers for the living room - and I wasn't disappointed... Perhaps a small suggestion at the end: It would certainly be useful if the description could include a few small care instructions (i.e. how to ideally clean the surfaces of the speakers if they become dirty over time). Or have I overlooked something and you are already doing this? :-) Best regards from Hesse Monockel P.S. Good idea with the forum, by the way - I'm eagerly awaiting it. I think that gentle moderation makes perfect sense, although it's always a balancing act to find the right balance between a completely uncensored or rigidly controlled forum - a nice task for someone with a thick skin... :-)

Hello Nubert team, I have to say that the products you sell here are unbeatable in terms of price, workmanship and not to forget the sound. And that's what matters, and you do it really well. I myself operate home cinema in the somewhat higher class. I use 2 NuWave 3s as front speakers. The front and rear center channels are handled by the NuWave CS-4, and I have the NuWave RS-5 hanging on the walls as effect speakers. And for the LFE channel I bought the NuBox AW-850. The whole thing is controlled and driven by the Yamaha DSP-AX1. Yes, DVD is really fun. You can see my system on my homepage. Have fun with your work, keep up the good work.

Actually, I wanted to write in the guestbook as seldom as possible. On the other hand, we are on the way to establishing a discussion forum on technical contexts and sound philosophy alongside the guestbook in spring 2002. However, such an experiment may require gentle moderation in order to counter the total uncontrolled growth that is unfortunately common in many chat rooms. The fact that sometimes hair-raising theories are put forward is perhaps still quite funny, but there is also abuse and insults, from which our guestbook has fortunately been spared so far. So now a comment on Tobias Hoops' entry: The article from which Mr. Buchert was inspired is as yet unknown to me. But it looks as if THERE is the source for the great importance of the impedance curve. Perhaps I, too, am unteachable? So let me repeat: As already described in our info sheet on measurement technology (Technik Satt p.23), the frequency response is not the only criterion that determines the sound - but it is certainly one of the most important. I don't know anyone who (in contrast to the frequency response) could make any predictions about the sound based on the impedance curve of a speaker. Although this curve usually contains information about the resonance frequency of the woofer and the reflex port and sometimes even small corners where a partial oscillation could be located, it is as important for the sound as the depth of the water in a swimming competition. If you connect a 1 ohm resistor in parallel and 4 ohms in series to any passive speaker, the impedance curve becomes perfectly linear, but the sound suffers as a result. However, this does not mean that speakers with a linear impedance always sound worse. Yours sincerely, Günther Nubert

Regarding Tobias Hoops' entry from Nov. 12, 2001: I almost thought that Benedikt had fallen for a brochure. Speaking of Orbid Sound, I had two of their speakers several years ago, they were called Mini-Galaxis (?), two BR powerhouses with 8 bass-midrange drivers and three horns, one of which was a very good Fostex tweeter horn.Unfortunately the rest was cheap junk,sorry.I abused these speakers for parties and even disco use,back then it was all about volume and robustness,although I had to disconnect the cheap mid-high horn sometimes because it produced an absolutely unbearably dull sound.That was around 1987,meanwhile Orbid sound seems to have moved on a bit ? To Mr. Nubert: I am very much looking forward to the establishment of a Nubert forum and will be an active visitor to it.

Booaaahh.... I never thought that my little article here in the forum would cause such a discussion and a run on your guestbook and that I would get such great feedback!!!! Maybe it was a bit harsh what I wrote... Because when I look back at all my nonsense, which of course, as Tobias Hoops correctly recognized, I copied from the Orbid-Sound speaker practice book, I unfortunately have to realize that I did give SpeakerFactory NUBERT a bit of a bad rap... BUT THAT WAS NOT MY INTENTION!!! So a very big !!! SORRY!!! to Günther Nubert!!! But maybe you can forgive me again, because there are so many speaker companies where the customer is simply ripped off and I just wanted to let my little anger run wild. Unfortunately, I probably got the wrong company here, although I can't explain to myself why you of all people became my victim (I was probably too strongly influenced by the frequency curves). I have been successfully swearing by the TEST results from Stiftung Warentest for years. Now that I have realized that I have made a big mistake, I hope that I can have a look around their factory and listen to their loudspeaker systems without being looked down upon!!! However, there will now also be a kind of religious war with me, as I have been friends with OrbidSound for 2 years. Let's see which of you two top companies will win the big battle for the best speakers. Because you have remarkable parallels! A perfect price/performance ratio, direct operation and spectacular sound characteristics... NUBERT? OrbidSound? Let's see what the future brings.... But as some have already said before me: What's the point of all these diagrams and technical data? The main thing is that the speakers sound good in your own four walls! And so I remain with a friendly apology personally to Günther Nubert. Best regards Benedikt =) P.S.: Please don't be angry with me anymore.

On October 30, Christian wrote in the guestbook that he thinks Nubert has lost its lead. He mentioned B&W, so I have something to say about that. A colleague of mine believed the same thing and bought the universally praised B&W DM 303. He said it sounded quite good in the store, but at home in his own four walls it was said to be thinner and a little less clear than an Arcus speaker of the same size that was almost 10 years old. I didn't believe him, so I put my two-year-old nuBox 360 next to it and marveled at how it really made the others wet. Because the Nubert speaker was a bit bigger and didn't fit upright on the shelf, we ordered the new small Nubert 310 for testing, which arrived the very next day. We were expecting a good small speaker but didn't expect it to be so much better than the B&W303 in all respects, even in the bass, although it is much smaller. But the most important difference is the much better clarity. Dear Christian, you must do this test yourself. Respect to the salesman who exchanged the B&W for a new CD player without any problems and even admitted, shaking his head, that the Nubert 310 is a hammer.
