I recently finished a 5 speaker set (Soon to be 7 speakers) based on Jim Holtz & Curt Campbel's Statements II towers, Statement II Center, and Statement Monitors. I'm powering them with an XPA-7 Gen 2 and an XPA-2 Gen 2 with an XMC-1 processor. I've detailed my full build log over on htguide.com's forums, but thought I'd post a final picture or two here  Obviously, the surround speakers are not permently located on the floor beside my amps!

And the verdict is? How do they sound? Link to the build?

That's a mighty small monitor for all those speakers. I think it's time to go to the Big Leagues ... :-)

I need to decide how I want to proceed, though. I want a black projection screen, something like Screen Innovations Black Diamond, or Elite Screens CineGray5D, but those are not acoustically transparent. A 130" diagonal would completely fill the space between the two towers (118" wide or so), which is what I'm going for. The speakers are open back on the mids, so I need an acoustically transparent screen. |

Nice job on your build, they are a very nice sounding speaker design. Once you build these and hear them, the commercial designs that are out there just dont sound like much. I have built quite a few of Curts designs and all of them were very good sounding. Here is a shot of the Anthologys I am running now.  |

I've been intrigued by the statement speakers. Some day I might build a pair for the bedroom. Nice Shoes.

I just completed a set of Statements too.
The mains are the Monitors and the original 4 driver center.. The mains sit on top of SB acoustics 10" ported base units with plate amps for stereo bass. All are wraped in red oak veneer. For movies I built a sealed Mach 5. 18"!sub powered b a beringer dsp6000.
I chose the Monitors to allw more room for the 240. Screen.
Some day I'll learn how to post pictures...

Hi pknaz - Any reason for the black screen over a standard "high contrast" grey one? The grey ones are offered in a far wider variety of options, cost less, and, in my experience, lose no performance the I can tell over a fully black screen (provided the room is darkened). I agree with you that "bigger is better" when it comes to screens. But above about 100", don't you need some tensioners to keep the screen flat? |
