Vapor Audio - Dagogo- Nimbus White speaker review

Didn't even see it...don't know what happened

Vapor hasn't had many professional reviews because we just haven't needed them. But I met Constantine of Dagogo while at Newport Beach, he's an honest guy who struck me as someone I'd like to work with. He was also interested in our products, and suggested talking to Doug Schroeder. After talking to Doug it was obvious how much experience he has, and that I could trust him to be completely truthful in his impressions. That's all we hope for, no politics - just truth. And that's exactly what we received with Doug and Dagogo, my sincere thanks to them!

BTW, since Doug purchased the review pair, you can see them in his system here:

We'll be delivering a pair of Joule White to him after Axpona this year, so watch out for another review.

Happy listening!

An update on the Nimbus White; I had been using it with an integrated under review, but switched recently to the Wells Audio Innamorata, a beautifully sweet SS amp (also reviewed and owned). The Nimbus took on a deep, rich character which is normally associated with fine tube amps.

I'm quite pleased at how transparent these speakers are, and how much they reveal the nuances of upstream gear. I have yet to experience a listening session where I had ear fatigue, even though these have the ceramic mids. It is evident to me that the "ceramic drivers are harsh" argument is not true, at least in this application.

Ceramic drivers are only harsh depending on the implementation (i.e., crossover/filers), like any other driver. You can also add Tidal Audio to the list of manufacturers/designers that have had great success with ceramic coated drivers. I don't think Ryan would use them if they couldn't be properly integrated with the RAAL tweeter. Accuton has made many refinements to their products over the years.

Wow nice review! I heard these at RMAF last year and I wholeheartedly agree. The Nimbus is on my very very short list for my next speakers when I get my properly sized listening room in my next house. Hopefully I can convince the wife to let me spring for the Joule, the larger RAAL and the better woofer really squeeze that little bit extra even out of an already phenomenal design. Vapor1 whats next? An MTM version of the Joule? Is there any way to incorporate Bass management on the woofer section since it is integrated and fixed height and distance from the driver or is this even necessary with the compensations made in the crossover design?
