Hello Nubert team, more than three years ago I was looking for new speakers. I (naturally) came across the 360s in the STEREOPLAY test review. After the info package arrived, I decided that it would be better to invest an extra 200 DM in volume instead of stands. Two weeks later my 390s arrived. The neutrality and the creamy bass made me grin constantly while listening to music. Since May 15, 2000, however, the grin is gone. That's when my new AW-850 arrived. I actually had reservations about buying it, as the bass of the 390 is already quite deep. Now I just listen to my music with my mouth open. How could I live without a (very good) subwoofer? Whether Mahler or Massive Attack, everything is better. However, it took me a good three days to find a sensible set-up and adjustment. I let the 390s run at full power, as they are not weak satellites. The result: when I move around the room, the quality of the bass changes much less than without the 850s. Even the booming in the corners of the room has disappeared. Incidentally, the most commonly recommended set-up with the SW between the main speakers led to disastrous results. Total boominess around 43Hz followed by a -20dB hole from 50Hz to 80Hz. Unbearable but understandable: the room modes parallel to the stereo base are hardly excited, while those perpendicular to the stereo base are strongly excited by the fact that my speakers are only 0.5m in front of the wall. That's why the 850s are now positioned in such a way that they excite the room where the 390s don't and vice versa. When I'm sitting in the normal listening triangle with the main speakers, it's against the wall to my left, with the back about 40 cm away from it. Volume at -3dB, frequency control in the middle and phase approx. 30 degrees. Oh yes, I wouldn't have been happy with a simple 0/180 degree switch. Best regards, Matthias Ciupka

I wanted to listen to the Nuboxes in Gmünd. But now I've become suspicious, because I do understand a lot about loudspeakers... 1. but when I read as an argument FOR the Nubox 360 that it has 34 components in the crossover, I ask myself whether it's worth it... The best speakers I know have a single component (capacitor in front of the tweeter, which is only coupled in at 5 to 8 kHz, e.g. Epos, Triangle, the bass-midrange driver is designed to fade out by itself without any dips in the frequency response) or no crossover at all in true full-range systems (Roiene, Rhedeko, Lowther)! Generally speaking, less is more at the high end. Every component distorts the sound, absorbs energy and takes away the liveliness of the music. Anyone who - like me - builds their own loudspeakers can understand this... 2. the claim that you can hardly tell the difference between an electrolytic capacitor and an MKP capacitor is also an old wives' tale, as any inexperienced listener can immediately understand. Mr. Nubert: Where are your listening skills? Or are you just measuring? 3. and: Where is the diagram for the step response of the speakers? This is far more informative than the sum frequency response when it comes to assessing liveliness and homogeneity. Because tonality takes place in time! What is the point of tonal fidelity if the bass lags behind the treble, as is the case with almost all loudspeakers on the market - not all, mind you! I'm looking forward to your response and would like a little more information on the aspects mentioned... Yours sincerely, Ulli Becker

After much toing and froing, I have now bought the AW-850 subwoofer. And all I can say is simply GENIUS!!! Great service and regards to the whole team.

hello Nubert team, i have received the 360 speakers i ordered and am pleasantly surprised by the speed of delivery, the spotless finish and the excellent instructions. after setting them up (correctly positioned and connected), installing a new pickup in my pl player, i dug out my old test records (cd's are not always the first choice!) and off we went. since i used to have the opportunity to compare loudspeakers for work, i'm confident in my judgement. i've rarely heard such precise, airy and clear loudspeakers, especially not in this price range(!). a real monitor. for the ambitious music lover, the 360 is one of the favorites. the room-bound music connoisseur is grateful for the small dimensions of the speaker (they are a bit deep, but where else could the speaker have this amazing bass foundation). respect mr. nubert, you and your team have created a real insider tip in this field! be sure, if it weren't for that, i would have noted it in your guestbook. one more remark about your fair return policy: i keep the speakers and you keep the money. best regards, dieter kubalik

Hello, there are many comments about the nuBox series, especially the 360 box. Where are customers with experience of other series, e.g. Nuline or Nuform? Greetings K.L.

Hello Nubert team, hello HIFI friends. On May 17th I traveled 250 km from Mannheim to finally listen to my NuBox 660 live. With so much money in my pocket to buy a medium-sized Canton speaker (for a long time there was no other speaker manufacturer for me), I drove from traffic jam to traffic jam, from construction site to construction site, past trucks and Dutchmen! At this point I would like to cut a long story short. I reached Nubert Speaker Factory in Gmünd without any problems. Standing in front of the entrance door and with four selected CDs in my light hand luggage, my heart was beating almost up to my neck. I entered the hallowed halls, entered the first O.G. and paused for a few minutes at the sight to think of all those who are standing in a MediaMarkt somewhere at the same moment and have some junk box sold to them for their bitter savings, which the seller also has at home. When I was standing in front of the nice employee, slightly slurring my words and waving my CDs vigorously in the direction of the speaker studio, the employee sat me down on a leather couch in the middle of all the goodies. She brought me a cup of coffee, which I thanked her for far too quietly, but the look on her face told me: "It's OK. - That happens to us here every day. In short, the service was fantastic. The extremely friendly and very positively reserved gentleman explained the technology to me and let me test my speakers on my own, without any time pressure. Well, what can I say, both of them - not the salesmen - are now in my living room. Actually, what I'm trying to say is that it's worth going the extra mile, you're compensated for a lot.

hello Nubert team, i ordered two 360 speakers today and can hardly wait to test them extensively. with so many positive and exuberant emails, i'm really looking forward to the Nubert experience. if the expectations are really fulfilled, a corresponding entry in the guestbook is a matter of course. greetings from munich dieter kubalik

Hello everyone, as of today I am also the proud owner of a pair of nuBox 460's. I had already bought the matching Center CS-3 some time ago and now everything is perfectly tuned. What an amazing (!!) sound & tone. SUPER !!!!!! I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. BÜHLER once again, who gave me excellent advice !!! MANY THANKS. The service you provide is simply excellent: ordered yesterday, delivered today. Now listening to music is a bit more fun again thanks to the Nubert speaker factory. I hope we will meet in person, perhaps on your next visit to Cologne? You are cordially invited. Have a nice weekend to you and the whole Nubert team. Hope to see you soon. Best regards, David Stefanovic

Hello, unfortunately I don't own Nubert speakers yet, but I will soon! In my search for a full surround system including speakers, I ended up at Nubert. I have found exactly what I was looking for and will soon be making my dream of hi-fi come true. I can only take my hat off to Nubert where other suppliers are still in a state of absolute emergency. For me, service is a decisive factor in the purchase decision. And I have to say that I was delighted with the service I received when choosing my components and speakers. A big compliment to the Nubert team in Schwäbisch-Gmünd.

Hello Nuberts, now I'm the proud owner of the 460s, Center CS-3 and the RS-6 (yes, subwoofer to follow!!) It's great for watching movies, great sound, lots of pressure. BUT: Why on earth do some of my CDs sound so musty??? Did you have to make the speakers SO ruthlessly honest ???? (Slight irony :-))) In short : One more loyal fan !!!
