General: Unique stainless steel high-end 2-way monitor speaker with heavy integrated stand. A speaker with fantastic design and very high-quality sound.

Technical: The Nime Elite One S 2022 is the newest and best speaker from Nime Audio Design from Italy. The Elite One S is entirely built from solid 10mm stainless steel, both the cabinet and the stand. Stainless steel is a very heavy and resonance-free material, but also extremely difficult and very costly to machine. The version we have here is the newest version with the black diamond coating woofer/midrange and the black pure diamond tweeter. The Nime Elite One S follows the unique elongated deep cabinet design with integrated stand from Nime Audio Design which you also find in the Mya, the Elite Two and the Elite One. The Nime Elite One S is the top version of Nime. The excellent WBT speaker terminals of the Nime Elite One are located on top of the bottom of the stand and are therefore ideal for use with both spade connectors and banana plugs. The crossovers are also integrated into the stands, so the crossovers have no negative influence on the tweeter and woofer and vice versa. The crossovers are built with the most exclusive and expensive materials available, including from Mundorf. The Nime Elite One S has a bass port on the rear of the speaker, but the Nime Elite One S can still be placed easily quite close to the rear wall. However, you do need a high-quality and stable amplifier to fully utilize the potential of the Nime Elite One S, especially at higher volumes and heavier music such as large orchestral works or electronic music. But for the average listener, a nice tube amplifier would already be sufficient because of the favorable impedance behavior of the Nime Elite One S. All units used come from the German Accuton, a brand that makes drivers for a wide range of high-end manufacturers including, for example, Marten Design, Gauder Akustik, Tidal Audio and Estelon to name just a few. The units in this Elite One S version are from the latest versions. The cabinet of the Nime Elite One S is thus made of 10mm stainless steel, which is very special. On the inside, the cabinet is fitted with thick steel reinforcements which increase the rigidity of the cabinet and reduce internal resonances. The Nime Elite One S 2022 is made with only the best components and materials, nothing was spared anywhere, and you hear that immediately in the sound reproduction.

Listening: The Nime Elite One S requires a fairly long break-in period. But once broken in, it is extraordinary what a grand and powerful sound image comes from these relatively compact speakers. The Nime Elite One S is a speaker that articulates exceptionally well and delivers a tight and truly super-transparent soundstage. The treble reproduction is undoubtedly of absolute top quality and this seamlessly connects to the very fast woofer/midrange unit, allowing the speaker to sound as one coherent whole. Because the cabinet of the Nime Elite One S is extremely rigid and has a unique shape, internal resonances are very effectively eliminated, resulting in a very clean and tight reproduction without any muddiness. The bass certainly has less 'punch' than the larger Nime Poetica 3-Way monitor, but the bass is much faster, better defined and more rhythmic. Yet the bass does not lack depth either, because once connected to a high-quality amplifier there is quite a bit of body to it. What also stands out when listening to the Nime Elite One S is how effortlessly everything sounds. The sound comes completely free from the speakers and you are treated to a spacious, transparent and open sound. The midrange and treble reproduction is ultra-precise and super-sparkling without sounding harsh or shrill, and the spatial imaging is sublime. You could say that the Nime Elite One S even sounds relaxed, which we do not often hear from designs with these extremely expensive speaker units. The Nime Elite One S 2022 is a unique speaker, to our knowledge the only full stainless steel speaker on the market, and it sets new standards in design and sound reproduction. The Nime Elite One S is a speaker for life with an intriguing sound that will forever captivate and ensure that you will rediscover your favorite recordings. The Nime Audio Design Elite One S are now permanently available for demo at Ohm-Audio B.V., you can listen to them by appointment while enjoying a delicious cup of coffee.
