Hi Mr. Ebaen. Me, another time. Let’s hope you can help me. As I said in my previous email, I was really interested in the Cube Audio Nenuphar. Weeks ago I had the opportunity of hearing them. I really like very much many things but to my ears, something was missing. I’m going to hear them soon again with different amplification and in a different room. Lately one speaker is also getting my attention that you know very well: Boenicke. Some questions:
It is said that soundstage in Boenicke’s is outstanding. It’s true? What’s your opinion?
If I'm not mistaken they are three models of the W8 and three models of the W11: the standard, the SE and the SE+ with important differences in price. What are the differences between each model? Which one do you recommended?
Is the W11 the best buy in your opinion (quality/price relation) or is the W8 the best?
I really like rock. In your opinion are the Boenicke capable of this type music? Am I going to miss anything? I know that they are not big boxes but I read a lot of positive comments saying that they have great bass.
Amplification: It is said the they are power hungry. Sven Boenicke talks well about an integrated you also know very well: the Kinki EX-M1. Is that a good combo? Any other recommendation?
Thanks so much for your interest. Stay healthy, Juan
Sven Boenicke would be the best man on the planet to explain the standard, SE and SE+ versions since few others will have heard all three side by side. Plus he knows exactly what technically distinguishes them and how that relates to performance. Nobody else does. Likewise for power recommendations. He'd be the best man to ask. What model is 'best' is always relative to your room, listening levels and budget. Only you can answer that. When set up with lots of breathing room as Boenicke speakers always are at shows, they do image/soundstage spectacularly. You might also like to ask Dawid Grzyb at HifiKnights who has reviewed more Boenicke speakers than I and in fact owns two different models. He too could give you some very specific amplifier tips.
