I'm guessing you don't have the ability to move them or change the orientation of the system in the room?

Well it's not a big deal and you have the right idea. The problem is well within the realm of subwoofers to handle.
You can get them much cheaper than list if you try. Have you looked into shipping cost to the UK from over here?
I think any of them would. The way crossovers work, you don't need to worry about getting a speaker with less bass. In fact, more is better as the blend is more seamless.A nice bookshelf like the Revel M range would blend rather nicely here I think....

Oh I meant they are copying the Revel M106s which uses SB drivers. The copies are also using the same SB drivers.I'd think there are too many variables involved in that situation. While there are good knockoff brands, such as the Usher copies of the venerable Scanspeak designs, the SB's seem like an odd brand to copy.
Two things I look for in a brand:
1. Toll free number to contact when problems arise
2. A real street address for the company
That said, "if it seems too good to be true.....", caveat emptor.
I'm starting to lean towards the M106 although the M126be is tempting but at twice the price, it's not a decision to take lightly especially when the benefits will be so miniscule......
Its really not the same, could be in past it was the same but not anymore, and IRRC over in F208 review thread some users documented with pictures how Revels drivers looked from behind and they were not looking as SBA standard series, it could be Revel use SBA to produce some of these drivers because they looks so close but its speculation without proof, what is easy to proof is below zoomed view of Amir's sample is not exactly the same as a standard SB17NBAC35 pictured in their datasheet, that said the local produced clone can probably perform good because SBA standard series is not bad but its nothing that speculationOh I meant they are copying the Revel M106s which uses SB drivers.

Have you looked at the KEF R3? It is available in a walnut finish (of sorts) and is lighter in the lowest octave than many speakers.
Honestly, I think the LS50 with subs would be your ticket, but it is not available in walnut.

These tweeters are (NOS spares) for my Sony SSG-333es loudspeakers. Rare as the proverbial hen's teeth as they were only made for the one speaker and only for less than one year. Had Sony Japan find me a pair back in 1993 and have had them as spares "just in case" ever since. Ironically, it was the woofers that failed and now need new rubber surrounds...

Fully die-cast, spun aluminium, champagne anodized basket, finished all the way down the rim, even though they are flush rebated. Rubber trim between mesh and outer. Screw fit diffuser ring/magnet assembly and magnetically shielded (2nd magnet). Approx 1.2kg all up weight per tweeter.

Is the M106 time aligned? Any measurements out there regarding this? Thanks!
Yes, that's what I meant. Looks to be just shy of 0.5ms. Thanks for the reference.What exactly do you mean by 'time aligned?'
Stereophile has a plot of the step response in their measurements, shown in Figure 6 of Stereophile M106 measurements
