BUILD AND CONSTRUCTION

Both sets cables look pretty much the same to be honest and both look to be well put together. The Statement 2 speaker cables a very cool red lustre to them. The packaging is suitably luxurious but not over the top which might suggest that your hardearned has been spent on fancy wrappers and not the product you bought. However, packaging is important at this level and I certainly got that Xmas morning rush as I opened the boxes. This is certainly a long way from when all the TQ cables came in modified (reprinted) pizza boxes. Anyway, it’s all good and all very nicely presented. There’s not much else to say about the construction and you are as well looking at the product shots, to be perfectly honest other than the 2s have a little bump along their length that is covered in heatshrink – more on this later.

Flexibility on the interconnects from both Statement and Statement 2 is excellent and there’s no problems with routing them at all. The speaker cables are very stiff and thick.

Termination s are all branded Tellurium Q and the bananas on the speaker cables and the jumpers are of the locking variety.

The System

The System I’m using for this audio review is a system I know inside out, if not strictly intimately. It consists of a Stack Audio streamer, Lampizator Big7 (modified hugely by Lampizator to an unknown level) a Krell KST100, and a pair of Audiovector R6 speakers. Between the Lampizator and the Pre I have the XLR version of the interconnects and between the pre and amp I have the RCA version. Speaker cables were connected in the conventional way between amplifier and speakers as to do otherwise would render the whole process somewhat noiseless.
