Statement Range and Cubix and Cubix Pro are out built to order with too long lead times.

All cables I can do apart from TSCS, again lead time.

Most Black Box available but it depends on work queue.

Just be aware DrB that the room is very speaker unfriendly. And Owston tends to not be a good place to compare cables, though if folk want to I am happy to bring them.

I'd like just a pair of speakers, please, unless you specifically recommend some amplification for them, in which case it'd be good to include that, too.
Our systems and philosophies are quite opposite, so it will be interesting to see how they compare.

8-9ft I think, No higher than that.

So normal room height.

The only problem I have had with Cubes and it would be the same with your semi omnis is very high ceilings as in 12 to 15ft. They seem to get lost without an overhead surface to work with.

Simple setup, it will be same with yours. Right back on the wall, listen to bass - too rich or confused then inch away from the wall until you get balance. Then toe in by about 10 deg at a time until the image works all round and is not just between the speakers and also has depth.
