[ARSIS]

is there a pdf file or link for the exact blueprints for this speaker design? i just found out about it today. looks really nice. i listen to a lot of midbass heavy music and need a speaker that will handle 2ch well without a sub. any other suggestions would greatly be appreciated

HERE is a link to Curt's website or go to the Mission Accomplished section here at HT Guide for a complete and extensive build thread. Do a search for Statements and you'll find dozens of build threads that will answer about every question possible.

Good luck!

If you want rockin' slamin' speakers, look elsewhere. If you're after accuracy, dynamics and a huge soundstage, the Statements do a very nice job, IMHO. :W

Others can give a less biased opinion.

I listen to all kinds of music on my statements--metal being one genre. I think they do a fine job

Although if the recording is crap, that's what you're going to hear

Meshuggah sounds wonderful on them. :B

I'll post the crossover this weekend.

Zaph's SB12.3 is another option. :P

Very spendy?

I think most speakers can sound good with stuff like Messhuga, just have some subwoofers handy. If you want more slam just keep cranking up the frequency cut off and volume on the subs.

Thats the way I look at it. Certain things do just sound too harsh on revealing speakers, I think Fear Factory is one, that stuff is shrill, but for the most part I haven't built a pair of speakers that can't rock, especially without the help of subs. Some may be more apt to do it by themselves, but then they may not represent some other types of music as well. Even tho my main diet is metal I prefer to have accurate speakers and just boost the bass when I want more slam. My 2 cents.

i just noticed this... is that a meshuggah cd on the floor? lol

Haha. It's Sevendust. Honestly, that CD never sounded so good as it did on these speakers. There's actually "resolve" and "micro-detail" on the guitar and voice parts. Who knew that I'd been missing that stuff all these years? :huh:

Nice project, but between the lines I read some "DIY" bias

[mischmat]

Might as well be one to say it but Jed's 4T's put out alot of sound. I'm very pleased with my set, and would recommend them. I listen to mostly alternative rock, which lately tends to have alot of mids in it. They are much better sounding than the Polks I was using. Heck half the time I don't even have my sub on, just tends to be too much.

[soundemon]

yes they rock the metal!

[numberoneoppa]

I need to introduce you guys to some better metal...

[evilskillit]

Do tell? I mostly listen to Euro / Scandi stuff. In Flames, Soilwork, Amorphis, Night Wish, Children of Bodom, Scar Symmetry and lately Iron Maiden. Don't know how I made it this far without realizing how awesome they are.

[impala454]

I can vouch for the statements sounding amazing with just about any type of music I've thrown at them (have four monitors and the center, hooked up to an Emotiva XPA-5). Everything from Bob Mintzer to Diana Krall to Godsmack to T.I. They will crack plaster and sound amazing while doing it!

[FroDaddy]

I wouldn't say the Statements are good for chest cracking midbass.
