2nd what Marlin said about the Reveals, was in having lunch in a bare bone/hangout/studenty kinda a pub years back,
sat on shagged out sofa's in front of a barely lit coal fire, can't but noticing the cool sounds piping out,
so got up and investigated what speakers they were and it was Tannoy Reveals,
exactly what poster said about them,nice sound for not much dough second hand.

Having a pair of these made for my Cube 1s.

The Torlyte stands I have are excellent but quite a narrow top plate and wouldn't take much to knock the Cubes over. Now that I have a four legged friend, I need a four legged stand!!

It is the SS stands - they make them to order, to your required measurements.

As tall as you want them to be.

The photo is just an example.

I do like Shahinians but expensive now in the UK

I also like the speed and openness of Audio Note loudspeakers but I believe they are largely based on Snell designs

Btw, I should have added that I really like the concept of “The Cubes” and tried a pair at home. They have many good qualities but the experience reinforced my view that you really do need to try all speakers in your own listening room - the overall result cannot be predictable based on anything else. NVA’s approach to essentially allow one to try before you buy has to be commended.
