NVA AP10P-Cubes.

Unread post by southall-1998 »

Someday I'd love to buy either the new Cube 1 or 2 speakers.

Will the little NVA AP10P be fine diving the cubes at medium volume levels? Or am I best getting a more powerful NVA amp?

An AP10p will drive Cube 1 and Cube 2.

Cubes are extremely easy to drive. Even single ended valves will drive them. The point of them is not power, it is that better amps will sound better.

Hi Dr I have borrowed an ap10 to demo, my question is would my speakers be ok with this amp and vice versa, thought I would check before going ahead ?

I was just about to ask what they were, then I saw your signature :D

Good luck with the trial. Always fun to try different things IMO

Yeah I think so, I'm just concerned over my speakers having complex crossovers or not I've no idea. I've heard nva likes to keep it simple :eusa-violin: :eusa-violin: :violin:
