From experience I can say that one with a longer active listening to music more and more appreciate the neutral character. Everything else sounds permanently annoying or falsified.
I have the 264 now Nuline home and am very happy in Walnut for a couple of days. Visually, they are really a stroke of luck.
In the spirit of good design is as little design as possible, these boxes are already timeless classics. Other manufacturers followed entertaining trends which a go again on the mind after some time.
First set up in the living room they act really petite, even female and integrate beautifully with my furniture. Of course you can see without grid of the best. Has children or pets you should use it but. :)
Visually make many small chassis definitely a real head turner. Processing succeeded perfectly.
When I then inserted the first time Adele Live at Royal Albert Hall, my initial doubts, the Nulines 264 were too small for my 25sqm room were made to naught. They play not to supercooled nor too pointed. Just perfect. You do hear every detail out.
The bass is noticeable when it is required and goes much deeper than with larger floorstanding speakers such as Canton.
When I had once lodged the Tron soundtrack by Daft Punk, I am briefly shocked what's come out low frequencies from small böxchen. My devil subwoofer can not be better, but less accurate.
For stereo music you really need a subwoofer. It escapes a nothing that can be heard on a CD. Everything is there and the chassis play seamlessly frequencies up and down.
By the tone selector switch can be reduced or adjust the heights of the Bass. So you can adjust the speakers individually to the listening room / the preparation. These beautiful boxes will you not have to sell the next move :)
Next, I'm going to buy the new center and subwoofer in Walnut, when they appear in January. Once Nubert always Nubert.
Conclusion:
If you can establish optical / acoustic reasons no large floor-standing speakers, you must now enter into no compromise and take compact speaker. Buy yourself the Nuline 264 or 284th
Nubert has recognized the signs of the times, in which many people do not want her living room full set with many large furniture, but are concerned about it a few nice things.
One negative point I have yet.
And although I would bi-wiring terminals simply omit, because it does not use 99% of the people, and those who use it know not even if it brings what.
I have two simple high quality connections prefer.
