The main difference is that the 110s are a bit bigger and have a better, more rich sound that the smaller 9s. That said, the 9s still pack a wee punch for a medium sized room.

Not sure it comes with cables as it not a definite that every buyer will use the onboard amp.
But 10m of 3mm installation cable won't cost a lot.
Sorry for all the questions, will it be best I place the speakers as far away from each other as possible, or could they be just 1m apart either side of my open glass TV table on the floor which I'm hoping to place the turntable on the glass shelf underneath.

The speakers would be too close, IMHO. There is a danger of the turntable getting feedback by being as close as 1 metre. Also, if possible if the speakers were on stands that would help stop feedback.
Best of luck . Hope you enjoy the vinyl.

They can be as close or as far as you want. The further apart the more expansive the sound stage is. My floorstaners are 2.5 meters apart angled slightly inward and they sound great.

An absolute gem of a set of speakers. Got a set for the inlaws Denon turntable/Cambridge amp and they are brilliant. And that's a cracking price.
I've just purchased those speakers from Peter Tyson and the Project juke box E All-in-One from Hifix.
I hope it's all plug & play, I can't see a list of 'what you get' on either of the purchases, so I hope I haven't got to suddenly go get any cables etc.

I think cables will be required, it's not often that a TT or and amp or even a set of speakers come with cables.

Something simple but decent like QED is a good starter.
I gather the connectors to wire them to will be included though with either the TT or speakers?

Both the speakers and the turntable have cable binding posts, you just unscrew them to open a cable hole, pop the stripped cable through and then screw back down to secure. Just make sure you orient the red to red and black to black correctly. Most cables have a + and - marking (or at least a marking to show which is which)

I think you will really like those Q Acoustics. They sounds much bigger than their size and look great with the rounded edges. The Juke Box E gets good reviews on all fronts and the Ortofon OM is a good cart/stylus.
Well I hope so, I’m all in on your recommendations, so........?

The speakers come with little rubber feet, remember to screw these in to the bottom, helps to isolate them a little.I built an isolation platform out of some oak and installed some spikes to raise it off the sideboard and prevent feedback. Worthwhile if you like to turn the volume up a bit.

The speakers will be on the carpeted floor, although that may change when it all arrives and I start moving things about ?

Fish may already understand this, but just in case...
If you get the cable connections wrong you can't damage anything. All that will happen is that the channels will be out of phase (resulting in poor stereo imaging).
An easy way to check for correct phase is to place the speakers close together and facing each other and play a record. If there is no bass, the speakers are out of phase, in which case just swap round one end of one speaker connection. The colours and +/- markings are irrelevant - audio signals are AC, so there's no absolute polarity like with DC. (And yes, I do know that some audio crazies think "absolute polarity" is important, but they are wrong).
I know nuffin ? so thanks ?

Yes, my point was for it to sound its best, the connections must be correct. Easiest way to say that was red to red etc. There's s reason they colour code them.

You might find that you want stands to get the best sound. Even on carpet you can get resonant feedback.
