In 2008, I can't believe it has been that long, I took the long and rewarding journey of building a very modified set of Statements.
After much research and contemplation, I have decided to upgrade my Statements to Statement IIs and build new cabinets for them. And, this time, stick to a more pure form factor of what Curt and Jim envisioned.
A few reasons behind my thinking:
1) My skills have greatly improved over the past 13 years.
2) Although my wife was very supportive of the original endeavor, the WAF has decreased over the years.
3) The modified cabinets I built are, simply put, massive. Too massive. See Forum above.
4) The finishes I chose the first time around have grown tiresome to me and I want a way to be able to more easily change this in the future.
5) I thought about building a whole new different speaker kit. But, after much research, everyone seems to agree that the Statements are what to strive for. So why change a good thing.
In my next post I will show my SketchUp model and I do have some questions.
Thanks everyone!
