Hi All
Someone please give me some advice please - I'm planning a build for this spring / summer, and its going to be either the bordeaux or the statement 2, full LCR.
In the past I built a Full size statement LCR. i enjoyed the build and loved the speakers. quite honestly, they were the best I'd ever heard including DIY and retail, (including the big B&W 802s, paradigm sig 8, and PMC PB1) with one exception, a pair of JAS audio Plato I heard in a showroom, powered by I cant even remember, something on par with the value of these.
My room is a fair amount more narrow than my last one, only 11' wide by about 30 ft long.
points in favour of the Statement 2 is I'm already familiar with the build, and I already know I love the sound, particularly the sparkling high end from the ribbon tweeter. Less expensive than the bordeaux. Center matches! (I have a hard time with a center that does'nt match visually, even if it does, for the most part, sonically)
Points in favour of the Bordeaux, its a smaller overall size, the statements are very large and tall. It's got that accuton mid range. I've been itching to build something with an accuton mid.
So i start wondering:
how difficult it it to fit the non-round tweeter into the baffle?
How close sonically is the tweeter in the bordeaux to the statement? (I've read its very close)
What if I built a 3rd bordeax, placed the bass bin on its side and the mid tweeter portion on top for a center? I cant figure out whether this would look super weird or really awesome. would this be a bad idea sonically?
Any advice or words of wisdom or encouragement is greatly appreciated! Power is a Krell KAV250/3. Control is an anthem AVR1120. I'm about 60/40 movies vs music, but when i listen to music its typically 2 channel full range w/o sub
