Re: opinions please

Kind of reminds me of a pair of Neat Petite 3 speakers that I used to own and I have a feeling that there is some connection between Neat and Kudos.[/quote] I'm pretty certain there is no connection -- there is a real rivalry apparently ...[/quote] I seem to remember something about the Kudos design...

Re: opinions please

Kudos as a breed have their expensive tweeters set FAR too high in level (around 5db according to HFW - and this is extremely audible, even to me!), so they fizzle and sparkle with grey sounding Naim amps which are often sold with them. They also make their dealers a very good living per pair sold ...

Re: opinions please

Now you have lost me, have you ordered the Cubettes or not. by any standards I have been jumped over by several people suggesting I was a flat earther or wasn't prepared to listen to new products ---- this is plainly shite of the highest order ---- from hearing NVA for the first time just a few wee...

Re: opinions please

I was going to ask that but you didn't say what kudos model you had , so I assumed that it was a smaller model with a comparable bass driver . the laws of physics cannot be overcome . my FIRST post FFS surely Cubettes can't match my Kudos C2's ? ( completely different price so can't expect them to ...

Re: opinions please

The pair here as in the pic are new and available. At any stage within 2 years they can be returned and upgraded to Cube 1 or 2 or 3 for the difference in price. I explained earlier why they are not on ebay, as they will be built by a NVA customer who is skilled (far more than me, he built these) a...

Re: opinions please

The Cube spreads music around the whole room - Doc will tell you that the Cubes 'activate' the room. DJSR will tell you that traditional speakers 'point and squirt'. I hear this very clearly when I compare my Cube 1s to my Harbeth P3ESRs. As it happens, I enjoy both, but for very different reasons....

Re: opinions please

I DO find it hard to believe the cubettes will be an improvement over Kudos, and no I haven't heard them and I can believe they don't sound small 'but I'm sure the larger cubes be it 1 or 2 are far more likely to be an upgrade :whistle: They know what Cubes sound like without hearing them... ...wer...

Re: opinions please

That is an uninformed decision. You should make an informed decision. have you heard the Kudos side by side with cubettes ? if not then all these comments are uninformed ...... if the inference is you too believe that the cubettes will outperform the Kudos then I am very happy to place an order for...
