Different classes, so treat this as a step-up-or-not question rather than a head-to-head. The Nubert nuVero nova 9 ranks #70 of 214 bookshelf speakers by sound quality; the Nubert nuVero nova 14 ranks #109 of 226 floorstanding speakers by sound quality.
The case for the Nubert nuVero nova 9: The compact three-way of Nubert’s third-generation nuVero nova series: a 168mm four-layer carbon woofer, a 101mm carbon midrange and a 25mm aluminium dome tweeter, with jumpers to adjust treble and bass. Watch for: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared directly with measured speakers; the rating is estimated from its measured predecessor.
Why pick the Nubert nuVero nova 14: A three-way tower in the Nubert nuVero nova 9 family with two 101mm carbon midranges and three 168mm carbon woofers, rated to 27Hz (-3dB). Watch for: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared with ranked speakers.
Buy the Nubert nuVero nova 9 if you want a bookshelf speaker. Buy the Nubert nuVero nova 14 if you want a floorstanding speaker instead.
About the ratings: neither speaker has been measured yet, so both ratings are estimated from measured siblings and predecessors (likely ranges: Nubert nuVero nova 9 3.8 to 4.4; Nubert nuVero nova 14 3.9 to 4.5). Treat this verdict as provisional.
