7. Comments : What can I say ? The Statements simply reproduces music like music really sounds. My system is a 4.0 system with
Center and Woofer in Downmix mode at the CU-80. I will post a review later.

Frank..., Frank..., Oh My God...

Frank,

OMG!!!!!

I am very glad you posted your amazing Statement e2 System here at the greatest ML site on the Internet, "The ML Club"...:cheers:

OK ~ Maybe our first "International Get-together", I motion we do it at Frank's house... If it's OK with you that is Frank... :drool:
Even though - I've never been to Europe.
Even though - I would probably be strip searched several times, just for fun, just getting to Berlin Germany.
Even though - I hate flying in a plane... I do think we should all be responsible for bringing our own individual 'Drool Buckets' with us, for good manners, as a courtesy... :drool:

But seriously, Your dream system is simply inspiring. We are all honored to have your system here among us... :cheers:

Yawn


Just kidding, I'm reacting to the oversized fonts from others

Very nice setup, love the modern decor and the nice set of gear.

 

[Burke]

What a system!!!

I would like to say that in addtion to the beautiful equipment I really like the room archicture and your view.

 

[STV]

Frank,

Wow, I'd have to say that you have a music lovers dream come true system. I've seen the Statement E2's in various wood trims, but with the styling of your room the black trim compliments it perfectly I also really like the whole presentation of your setup. Sweet!

Thanks for sharing your beautiful system with us

Hi,
first - thank you for the positive feetback. To give you an idea how my listening room looks here are some additional pictures. The racks and amp-stands are from COPULARE Germany.

 

[JohnA]

Awesome

 

[JonFo]

Frank, that is one of the nicest looking spaces I've seen in a while. Great décor.

And of course, those e2's look great in there.

It is a VERY impressive room... of course IMHO, e2's look good just about anywhere... in fact... Casa de Garvey in Austin comes to mind :haha1:

Or La Casita Blanca here in Cedar Park would work too!

 

[lugano]

I *love* that flower vase - the alternating color of the roses is great. Priceless female touch.








Of course, the rest ain't bad either

 

[MiTT]

Frank,

Please stop posting pictures of your system. Every time I see them I soil myself. I am at work and it is embarrassing.

 

[ltholley]

Very nice system, got to agree with the rest folks those E2 are the top the heap. Someday I'll have a pair if it kills me.
