I've had one for about a year, together with it's smaller sibling the Qb. The former in the kitchen and the latter in a sitting room. Can be used separately or as multi room. Easy to set up and use with Spotify. As one box speakers they work well but don't compete with a half decent separates system. I'm not keen on cables and bits here and there so suits my needs. It may be me but I prefer the sound out of the Qb, or it could be positioning; although I'm not that enthusiastic to be overly bothered. I'd describe it as balanced. So summary; good but not blow your mind good. Looks good though!
I have two of the cube Qb ones in the dining room, you can sync them up and sound fine to me.
When sync’ed they do need to be at a medium volume so they stay sync’ed which is a bit annoying.
Apart from that they are easy to link up and I believe they are quite loud enough for teenage parties as well.

I have owned 2, the first one developed an annoying rattle on one of the speakers so I returned it after one year , the second developed exactly the same fault 9 months. I seem to be a minority of one but there you go.
They look and sound great, for a single box solution they will fill a decent room.
In the end I swapped over to a pair of sonos play5 gen2 as they where the same price and I got store credit. The pair of sonos sounds a lot better due to proper stereo separation and I’ve now added more speakers around the house, the sonos is way superior as a multi room audio setup, something Naim never bothered finishing off properly.
