"My advice is to try to get to hear some Cubes to see if you like the sound or not (I found it pleasantly different, others might find it uncomfortably different)."

I'm unable to arrange it in Hungary. I can hear many speakers here, but if I'd buy anything without trying a Cube, then I'd be always wondering that maybe I missed something. I'll buy one, and I hope that I will find it "pleasantly different".

You can't imagine how hard a fight was to conquer the current place of the speakers. If I want to move them, then many other things have to move too...

Sorry. Should have known/remembered.

Same as the other cubes, best with normal room. They feck up trying to drive halls that need a PA system as I had at my one Scalford, they sort of worked there but not very well.

“The soundstage / music starts to fall apart when the room is too large, especially if too high for the speakers”

Please tell me that 400x700 cm with 290 cm ceiling is a normal room!

My Cube3's work well in a room with 250cm ceiling - although I found putting them on a higher stand improved their effectiveness.

Cube 1 or 2 should work fine in the space you have.

Stop panicking of course it is normal, we are talking about high ceiling halls.

The Cubes arrived. The box was heavily damaged, the family signed it without complaint, so I opened them a bit nervously. Except a very-very little damage on two corners everything's fine. My appreciation for the packing! I put them on the floor to check the operability. I'm still shocked. The Cubes have beaten my poor old Tannoys to death on the floor, far from the wall, without burning in, etc. I hope that the stands will arrive in a few days and I will be able to place the speakers properly. Still no review about anything until everything is in its place, but now only the TCS is missing.
:dance: :clap: :grin:
