WOW! That price seem pretty fair. I wonder what kind of shape the panels are in. It says they were redone. I bet Martin Logan cant make those panels new now?
JonFo they're calling you. ;-)
No, the original Statement cannot be made by ML anymore. They don’t have a large enough jig.
There are a few people out there that will claim they can remake them using the original panel.
Need a few high powered amps to even do them justice, and drive them to perform at their best.

Let’s go to Italy and pick them up.
Does anyone know of some examples of amps that would be sufficient to drive all of those speakers?
Very nice and quite rare! It is interesting that the seller refers to it as "Statement 1 EV2". The ML web site does not have any info on a Statement 1 EV2, there are only the Statement and Statement E2 systems shown there. No matter, this looks like a Statement with a variable electronic crossover. According to the ML site, the original Statement used a fixed crossover of 120 Hz. The seller says it includes the Exos crossover which apparently was used with the E2-- very nice!
I wonder how they had the panels redone if ML does not have the jig? The Statement panels appear way bigger than CLS panels.
I have a "mini Statement"-- original CLS ("new" panels circa 2007) and Kinergetics SW800 subs. I always wanted to hear one of the Statements and compare but I never had the chance. Unfortunately, I don't have the $25,579.30 (plus approx. $2.1k for shipping from Italia) to do it now. :>(
