    Statement 2 curved speaker build.

    I recently completed a curved build of the Statement 2's. It was suggested I post them here, due to Jim Holtz being a long term member. I wanted to say thank-you and couldn't be happier with the sound. Possibly the only unique part of the build is in how I made the curved sides. Instead of bending wood, I glued multiple mitered slats together and sanded to give a curved appearance. Brand new to this site and hope I'm posting it in the correct place. Thanks.

        Thanks. Out of curiosity, are you the one who suggested posting here?

            It wasn't much of a build thread. Just a few updates on Reddit during the build. I work long days over the weekend, but I will try to make a build thread with the photos I have on here when I get a few minutes.

              Thanks very much. Fortunately I was able to do one continuous wrap with the veneer. It made for a cleaner look.

                    dave_k's mini-statement build
                    by dave_k
                    Hello everyone. I'm almost done my mini-statement build and thought I would post some of the things I've learned. It sure made things a lot easier seeing how everyone else did their builds. I must have looked at BeerParty's thread 20 times at various stages in the build.

                    Thanks again...

                    by Trompie
                    Hi There.

                    Thought I would start my Statement build tread as I have ordered my ribbon tweeters yesterday from Madisound and will soon order my xover parts and other drivers from P.E.

                    I just want to share my excitement with you guys as I'm part of the family now.

                    I recently completed my Statement 2's and posted the results on here. I wanted to try to create a build thread with the few photos I took while building them for anyone that might be interested. A lot of the ideas for the build came from previous build threads on here. I don't know if I have anything...

                    With all the buzz around the Statements, I have to get myself a pair! The main complaint around the statements seems to be WAF, so my mission is to tackle that downside. I am planning to solve this, by adding curves to the statement. While this has been done before, I don't know of any build using my...
