Guestbook

I've been listening to Pink Floyd music for 45 years and I thought I knew the "darkside" inside out, but I was wrong. Since nuVero 60 with Oppo 105 and NAD 166/275, I've been experiencing the songs anew. I would never have thought that listening to music could be so wonderful - thanks to Nubert speakers. I also followed the tip from H. Nubert "Zappa plays Zappa", a terrific DVD. Musically excellent, an unparalleled listening pleasure. I'm now looking forward to the first Nubert CD, but nothing negative can come of it, because it comes from Nubert. I don't normally write such hymns, but I'm simply thrilled.
Please keep up the good work

An addendum and additional information from me about my new AS 250 soundbar:
The USB audio socket is also perfectly recognized by Linux systems. I run a small Raspberry Pi computer with OpenElec as media center software on the TV. The TV is connected to the Nubert via Toslink, which led to the problem that when the TV is switched off, no more audio is transmitted from the HDMI sources and I can no longer play pure music via the media center. The solution was to connect the Raspberry Pi to the AS 250 via USB, which was recognized immediately and works perfectly!
Perhaps this could also be included in the instructions. It only mentions Windows and Mac OS :rolleyes:

NuPro A-700 in comparison with NuPro X-8000
Here they are at last. Two brand new X-8000s in white to replace my NuPro A-700. Since the spatial conditions are extremely unfavorable: 40 square meter living room, 4 m high ceilings and very high windows, parquet floor - a former classroom, even such a fantastic speaker as the A-700 reached its limits in terms of bass. It is therefore supported by a Nuvero AW-12. Incidentally, in a normal room, support from a subwoofer is not necessary, in fact it is downright absurd.
However, the aim was to find a speaker that would work in my room without a subwoofer. My expectations were low because I couldn't imagine that a speaker with a cabinet of roughly the same size and weight could manage without a SW in my living room.
BY FAR! It's hard to put into words what the X-8000 can do. It plays so low in the bass range that I constantly check whether the AW-12 is switched on. It was already clear to me that the X-8000's mid and treble range is incredibly clean and precise, but the bass has to be brought under control with the many adjustment options.
With the settings - loudness on, EQ raised by 1-2 dB in the bass range, bass and mids at +3 and HP filter at 30 Hz - I create a sound in my room that I never thought possible. So here I have to disagree with Mr. Nubert, who writes in his treatise Technik satt that in rooms with high ceilings and windows it is hardly possible to produce a good quality sound - with the X-8000 this is possible!!!! Thanks for that!
Even at low volumes (-40db and higher) the sound remains linear.
Conclusion: The X-8000 really does play in a different league in terms of sound and can top the A-700, especially in the bass range!

PS: Incidentally, the A-700s are now in the hobby room with normal high ceilings and can finally develop their full potential. Because one thing is clear: you can't sell a speaker like this!

A short addendum to my entry from November 27, 2018 on the matter of the bassiest basses:

The depth, sound volume and clarity of the nubox 683 are so fantastic, it's as if they were out of this world - and for such a great price. Yesterday I listened again to the recording (CHANDOS) of Francis Poulenc's Concerto for Organ, Strings and Timpani with Jan Tracey on the organ at Liverpool Cathedral. The intensity with which its bass and high pressure stops (acoustic 64', 6 x 32' in total, of which 3 x Bombarde 32' + 16' + 8' + 4' plus its own high pressure Bombarde work!) sound is breathtaking, to say the least.

You hear it - as if live on location - through your own diaphragm ... totally crazy!

I'm almost enraptured ... 😂 😂 😂

Hello,

That was not good.
In response to my question as to which amplifier I currently have to buy in order to connect a bass extension module to an integrated amplifier in such a way that all sources (including digital ones, for example) can be connected, I was given the option of using NAD devices. However, these are out of the question for me because of the insensitive volume control in the quieter range.
So here is some information for the Nubert consultant and interested HIFI friends. The current Advance Akustik devices offer both digital inputs and a separable preamp and power amplifier. This means that the bass extension module can still be used sensibly for all sources.

today the nupro a-100 arrived... perfectly packaged... i connected them to the bluesound node2 and am simply thrilled... connecting and setting up was a breeze... the sound is incredibly round and "complete" for the volume of the housing (even with eyes closed)... one expects with this sound significantly larger speakers... great performance from nubert! i find the look and touch quality of the speakers to be outstandingly good!

After about 6 years I switched from a pair of Nubox 381 with ATM (which had impressed me quite a bit until recently :-)) to a pair of white Nubox 683 with ATM, mainly because of the room size (more space):

Simply everything - from A for appearance to B for bass, H for handling, K for sound, L for performance, S for super-fast delivery, V for volume and Ü for everything - is great!!!!

Because it's simply totally impressive how these speakers are able to make the floor and the room shake when you let them play organ sounds a la Cologne Cathedral, Rouen, Notre-Dame de Paris or similar instruments, for example Franz Liszt's "Der Heilige Franziskus von Paula über den Wogen schreitend" in the arrangement by Wolfgang-Sebastian Meyer and played by Prof. Winfried Bönig on the Cologne Cathedral organs. The beginning with a really audible 64' (!) in the pedal and the final crescendo are THE absolute hammer, especially in the buttery soft and yet totally present bass range. Or Giles Swayne's "Riff-Raff" in Blackstone Cathedral with English Royal Trumpets ... or Messian's "Livre du Saint Sacrement" on Cavaille-Coll's masterpiece in Rouen - played by Susan Landale ... her reed battery with 32' and 16' bombards - simply divine!

Of course, the boxes can also cope with everything else - from Angels & Airwaves to Bruce Springsteen, Good Charlotte, Grönemeyer, Guns 'n Roses, Mumford & Suns, Stiltskin, Stroke or orchestras, such as the absolutely marvelous recordings of Matthias Bamert with the BBC Philharmonic and Stokowski orchestral arrangements of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition or his Symphonic Baroque or with choir (e.g. Verdi's Requiem with Barenboim or Bruckner's Te Deum with Helmut Rilling). Wonderful!!!

Briefly:

The rich yet fine and clear sound is simply brilliantly good (if you like it, you can play around a little with the two treble and bass switches on the speakers) - even with a rather small Onkyo TX 8050 stereo amplifier without an additional preamplifier and/or power amplifier or even subwoofer. In my opinion, such a part is absolutely dispensable - especially since the pure speaker sound seems much nicer and more balanced to me than with an extra positioned subwoofer. And thanks to their completely white color (incl. white fabric cover - a totally ingenious idea from Nubert), they "hide" very nicely inconspicuously in the room - until you simply take off the fabric covers to enjoy them ... :-):-):-)

A big THANK YOU to the whole Nubert team - and always one more good idea :-)

After happy years with my living room set-up with 5 Nubert Nuline speakers, I now needed to improve the sound in my bedroom. So far I've used a sound deck and it was okay for watching TV, but listening to music was a pain. Due to the lack of space, I chose 2 Nuline 24 plus Yamaha RX-A 1040.

The result: it really sounds incredible. TV and music fantastic. Delivery was problem-free. I am very satisfied.

One small point of criticism.
Placing the connection terminals on the floor for shelf speakers was really unfavorable in my case (use on a shelf). The feet supplied are not high enough, so I couldn't use banana plugs. This annoyed me a little at first, but the sound makes up for it.

I would simply like to praise the really excellent customer support here, especially Mr. Reichelt, who always answered my questions promptly and answered them in a very detailed and well-researched manner.
I can only say please keep up the good work, this is how you imagine great customer support.

After a long time, I have decided to buy a new hi-fi system for my TV, CD player, games console, tablet and media center. It was actually supposed to be a simple soundbar for a maximum of 200 euros. But when I read that there was a stereo soundbar made in Germany, I became curious. The Nupro As-250 stereo deck was delivered quickly and was quickly and easily connected to all devices (only the weight of over 17 kilos made me sweat when unpacking and setting up). Even all the important cables are included! Top! The sound really is a dream. Everything is now much clearer and more differentiated. The bass is almost perverse - but of course you can turn it down with the remote control. It also looks great in front of the TV.
Thank you for this great product and also for the prior telephone advice.
