OK guys... I was thinking it would be nice to go to one place and see what kind of potential is out there. Here is a chance for those of you who have made any of speakers in the Statement line to show off your work. Stereo pairs. Home theaters. The works. Please post 'em all :T.

Did you just vacuum your carpet so you could take that pic? haha...
Seriously, I am sure the only thing better than how those look is the way they sound. You did an excellent job. :TBE ALERT! The world needs more lerts.- Bottom

Do you have how you finished your speaker anywhere on the forum? That is a beautiful finish. If not posted anywhere else, might you share with us how you finished the speaker? Was it a certain kind of black paint? How did you get it so polished?

Well, finally got a chance to upload my pictures of the statments. i had a picture of the monitor but don't know where it went... It is identical to the center.
The black is a lacquer that was sprayed on from a can. The pictures don't do it justice, you can see a reflection in in very well. (my camera had dust on the lens so focusing was a bit tough apparently... ops I used primer and sanded it down with 120, 220, and 600 grit. Then I sprayed on the lacquer and let it sit for 2 weeks before touching it. I decided that it was already reflective enough to not need to polish.
The veneer is a block mottled Makore. I used 3 coats of Tung oil and 3 coats of poly on top.
The overall finish is very nice. However, I will not do this method again. It was a pain. Very labor intensive. Instead, I'll probably use a cheaper veneer such as Oak in the future and wraping it all the way around. Overall though, I'm very satisfied with the results.
Sound wise, these things are amazing! I can't believe what I've been missing all this time in my movies and music. Many thanks to Jim and Curt for designing these speakers.
On a side note, it looks like my tweeter is askew. Hopefully it's not just the picture. I'll have to take a look at that later.- Bottom

Thanks, I'm extremely happy with the way they turned out. Only took me 6 months! Note to self, don't try and do 5 speakers at the same time AND do night school...- Bottom

The best thing about it, the finish is completely personalized which I love. No one will ever (at least I doubt it) have the exact same setup as me! These certaintly put to shame every speaker in best buys "magnolia room" :T- Bottom
