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.

Nothing really to say here except:

WOW!!!
:drool:

Joey

Ditto everyone else's comments! That is just and AMAZINGLY clean system! BIG WOW!!! Bet it sounds AWESOME!

Welcome to the group!

Frank, so good to finally see your simply AWESOME setup in the members systems section.

STUNNING

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.

What a system!!!

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

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


Seth

Thanks for posting!! Wow as well.

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.

Awesome

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!

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








Of course, the rest ain't bad either

Frank,

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

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.
