I have heard the AW-900 and I am simply thrilled. It would also be very nice if you could send me more information about your new DSP project, I look forward to it. Mfg. Daniel G.

Many greetings to the Nubert team! First of all, I would like to compliment you on your speakers. My configuration of Nubox 390, CS 3, RS3 and the Yamaha DSP a595 AV receiver sounds impressive. Even in stereo mode, the 390s reproduce music very pleasantly and, if necessary, also thrillingly, which I was not familiar with from my relatives' and friends' previous speakers, which tend to have a pronounced loudness, but I have a few questions about fine-tuning: In center mode Wide (Center: Large), the CS 3 does not fit harmoniously into the stereo panorama, which in my opinion is (at least partly) due to the flow noise of the bass reflex port. In Center: Small mode, a seamless front staging is achieved, but at the expense of the central bass reproduction. The solution is also unsatisfactory because I wouldn't have needed the CS 3 for this. After countless modifications (variation of the center level, bass reproduction of the main speakers, temporary blocking of the ceneter reflex port) with modest success, I would be grateful for any advice, thanks for everything, Matthias.

hello someone once wrote here god bless günther Nubert i thought that was somehow exaggerated...for half a year i have owned the sub AW-850...and from that day on, i have blessed günther every day...except for the neighbor.

Dear Nubert team and all readers, I have been the satisfied owner of two NuWave10s for about 3 months now. Since many hymns of praise have already been sung about this speaker, I would like to get straight to the actual content of this post: Now that the familiarization phase is over, I have given some thought to further improving the sound of the speaker *in my rooms* and would like to test the use of spikes. Why? With critical music material, the treble is often too sibilant for my taste and there is a certain tendency to boom in the bass range (old, vibrating wooden floor). I hope to mitigate at least the latter with spikes. Reduce the movement of the speaker when the bass is strong, which could perhaps also benefit the somewhat harsh treble range. However, the NuWave10 has no preparation (i.e. hole) for spikes, which on the one hand surprises me and on the other hand makes me hope that someone has already dealt with this topic and can give useful tips. So: How can I attach spikes to the NuWave 10 in a way that is gentle on the housing? Who has experience with this and what kind of spikes are recommended? Many thanks in advance and have fun and relax while listening to music, Jürgen Winkelhake.

Hi, I'd like to comment on Mr. Golitsch: How can you deal with the physics of loudspeakers and then judge them by their efficiency? my tip: Conrad has CAT speakers that will blow your ears off at 50 watts! But as Mr. Nubert writes in his answer, you can argue about listening taste. The fact is that the sound of the nuBox 300 is one of the cleanest on the market for its size. (Don't forget the price) Absolutely neutral with soft mids, very clear, clean highs and the bass range is actually already there!!! Yes, yes, of course at the expense of efficiency, but it's a good compromise between achievable volume and possible depth! I remember well the last video evening with Jumanji, the searching looks of those present for the subwoofer, but there were only the 300's! (small living room 18sqm)I recently ordered green panels, really weird, enhances the look!!! Oh, one more tip for Mr. Golitsch:Put a solid foam plug in the bass reflex tubes, you'll be surprised!!! See you then!!!

I've had your nuLine RS 3 for a long time and I'm absolutely satisfied. Very good sound, very good bass, etc. I'll be getting another subwoofer from you soon...

Hello and a happy new year. I too must disappoint all those who are expecting a negative comment. I bought two Nubert Nubox 360 bookshelf speakers in 1998 as a temporary solution due to having children. I listened to many other bookshelf speakers beforehand and then ordered Nubert. Once the offspring are out of the woods and floorstanding speakers have a chance of survival again, I will definitely not order Nubert again - I will listen to various Nubert speakers myself and then make a decision for the next Nubert speakers. Because the price/performance ratio is currently unsurpassed - keep it up!!!

ANSWER to guestbook entry by Frederik Golitsch, dated 9.1. 2001 Dear Mr. Golitsch, Actually, we think it's okay to read something negative about our boxes in the guestbook. - However, this criticism should be FAIR and HONEST. You write something about the nuBox 300, which actually has an efficiency of 84.5 dB, but you quote the price of our nuBox 360 for this speaker (DM 299.- each, instead of 199.-). With this price you compare the Orbid-Sound Neptun, which is supposed to be 100 DM cheaper. However, the Neptun only costs DM 195 as a kit in an unfinished MDF cabinet. As a finished box with a black finish, the Neptun costs DM 280, which is considerably more than the nuBox 300. A nuBox 360, for example, has an efficiency of 87.5 dB at 1 watt at a distance of 1 meter. This means that (as a 4 Ohm speaker) it delivers a sound level of 87.5 dB (A) with a 2 V power supply at a distance of 1 meter in free field or in an anechoic chamber in the mid-range. However, it can be loaded with 100 watts (nominal load capacity) and then delivers 107.5 dB (minus approx. 1 dB compression effect). If you want to achieve a balanced frequency response with a decent bass range down to around 60 Hz (-3 dB point) and very good impulse stability, it is not physically possible to significantly increase the efficiency of a speaker of this size. If a speaker the size of the Neptun has an efficiency of 92 dB, this means nothing other than that this speaker has no bass (i.e. at least 8 dB drop at 60 Hz). - So there are only 2 sound alternatives for such a speaker (if it is operated without a subwoofer and with a linear amplifier): Either it sounds thin and metallic, or it is nasal and tuned far too rich in the middle. There are indeed different directions of listening taste - but to say in general that the Neptun offers a better sound than a nuBox 300 or 360, you have to have a rather unusual listening taste and a good deal of self-confidence in your own judgment. To design such a speaker, all you have to do is reduce the crossover, which consists of 20 components in the nuBox 360, by 17, 18 or 19 components and you can even install two much cheaper speakers - and you'll have plenty of mids and highs - but no more neutral reproduction. - Of course, we could offer such a speaker for far less than DM 200.- The nuBox 360 is superior in linearity to most studio monitors known to us (as you can read in the dubious tests you cited. Do you think that Stiftung Warentest, which described the sound character of the nuBox 360 (issue 9 /2000) as neutral, is also dubious? The 360 can fill larger rooms with sound and is often used in recording studios as a nearfield monitor. The nuBox 300 is described in the brochure as a good-sounding speaker for small rooms and, with its 50 watts and efficiency of 84.5 dB, has only been designed for medium volumes (max. approx. 100 dB at a distance of 1 m). Yours sincerely,Günther Nubert

I recently got the nuWave 3 and the nuWave CS4 for music and movies. And there are really only 2 things to say about Nubert: - Fantastic sound: very natural, lively, powerful... movies and music are really fun (compared to my previous speakers, which weren't bad at all, these are worlds of sound!) - Unparalleled service!!!! There is probably no other manufacturer here in Germany that puts so much effort into customer satisfaction before AND after the purchase. My next investment has already been decided: a Nubert subwoofer!

I received my nuWave 3 today and I simply have no words... Best regards from Vienna Gerhard
