I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that he'd rather have the cash than the kit.

Do you know on that score I think you're right!

This could be for all manner of reasons.
This could include not having the time to build them himself, simply needing the money or moving to premises that are too small to support Orion properly. Maybe that old enemy of common sense WAF (the trick is never to ask the question).

lots of people buy kits that never get built. If I had space for Orion I would have built them already, no question.

How much room do you need? I was told two foot on each side.

I would guess this is fine for the average American lounge. That is if you can get away with using the lounge.

Read this page. You may want to build Pluto (a speaker designed for smaller spaces):
Design of Loudspeakers



Two things factor into the required listening distance. The dipole wave launch and three way driver integration.
Three ways are typically better listened to from a greater distance than two way designs. The benefits of three way are questionable when you listen in a smaller environment where very large bass excursions are usually not required.
