Mini curved Statements II

[Andy_F]

Hi all,

I'm brand new to the forum but have been actively looking into a new set of towers.

Historically I'm not new to cabinet building, my father and I have previously built a pair of Ariel Transmission speakers: http://www.nutshellhifi.com/Ariel-4.gif and paired them with...

Hello!

I am in the design stage of creating a 3.1 system, and I would like some help choosing the right speakers.

I have a wall with 15” x 5.5” bays, which I would like to fit three identical speakers. The...

It's been a long time coming, but I'm finally going to be rebuilding my Mini-Statements and breaking apart my statement center channel and cannibalizing the parts to make some new monitors (more Qs on that later).

I'll go ahead and answer the questions I see coming: I am re-inheriting my...

Well last year I built the mini's, thoroughly enjoyed the build and love the results. When I first looked at them I asked Jim Holtz' advice and he said due to the limitations of my listening room ( they sit in an alcove ) that I would be better advised to look at another build....did I listen...sorry...

I have had my heart set on building the mini statements for a while now, but I am concerned that they may not be great for use in a "lively" room. I have a long, large living room with the listening axis perpendicular to the rooms long edge, situated against one of the short edges. The short...

so my wife just texted me from home ....honey don't get mad, I was just listening to some music ( not overly loud) then I could smell a kind of electrical burning from one of your new speakers.... I look at the message again and think...maybe this is a joke..but no. I just completed some new Mini Statements...

Hi all,

I am planning to build a pair of Speakers. I narrowed my choices down to ZaphAudio's ZRT 2.5 and Jeff Holtz's Mini Statements. Has anybody listened to these next to each other? Do you guys have any preference of one over the other?

I will be using these speakers...

Hope you enjoy my picture heavy worklog! The project is complete, but I still need to get the pictures of the painting process & current "in action" pictures off my camera.

Before I dive into things, I would like to extend my humble and sincere thanks to Jim, Curt, Wayne,...

For the most part, I've got everything built and glued except for the front baffles.

The squareness of the cabinets might be off a few hairs or ten. Any tips/tricks for getting the fronts matching nicely?

I had considered gluing down an oversized front and flush-trimming...

Hey,

I am planning another speaker build for summer. I built the sealed CJD RS150 MTMs (with Seas H1212 tweeters) a couple years ago, and love them. I began doing freelance recording and mixing a year ago and have been using these as my main monitors with great results. I use 4 IB15s...

Merry Christmas, I am so impressed by the performance of my knew speakers that I have to share the build. I learned a lot from this forum, yet the build is rather unconventional.
I have been looking at this tree for a while now, Thinking I need to build something. Really nice spiraled grain....

Hi all,

Im about to build the mini-statements but want to make a taller cabinet (no bold base).

Looking at Curt's website on geocitites I couldn't find the exact volume of the box. I've come up with a calculated volume of 52L, anyone care to confirm?

What i want...

[snmhanson]

I have decided to build a couple of Statement Monitors and a Statement 2RCC Center so I thought I would start a dedicated thread to chronical my build and get some questions answered. First off, I am making some slight changes to the cabinet designs in that I want to put a slight (6' radius) bend in...

Well, after several months of reading and waiting, my parts finally arrived today overseas. I decided on Mini-Statements and Statement Center Channel, against a suggestion that the Mini's might be a little large for my room size. I've always believed bigger is better, hope I'm not wrong. I can always...
