REVIEW

Excellent build throughout

Excellent Xmas morning packaging

Interconnects are highly flexible to allow easy routing

Speaker cables are heavy and relatively inflexible

The hardware on all the cables is excellent

Sound Quality:

Apparent speed and cleanness to the sound

Nothing is over-pushed

The interconnects are akin to the effect of grounding systems in a system with relation to noisefloor

The interconnects performed the best in our system and outperformed our reference

The speaker cables sound excellent, but overall I prefer our current reference, though there’s not a lot in it

All the cables have an apparent naturalness to them

Value For Money:

I had no idea of the costs of these cables when reviewing but knew they would be more than the Silver Diamonds which we have as speaker cables. I think it’s important to know that as (whilst I knew they would be more expensive than our Silver Diamonds) I wouldn’t have the accusation of “more expensive is better” Overall these cables cannot be seen as anything but expensive, but then lots of things are expensive and we need to look at their price in relation to other products in the same market and their performance. In this respect I would say Statement II from Tellurium Q reflect what they are - the Statement of what the company feel they can achieve with regard to performance.

We Loved:

The interconnects are definitely doing something akin to properly implemented grounding products

An easy natural sound that is easy to fall into

We Didn’t Love So Much:

There is no getting away from the fact that these cables represent a significant financial outlay

Speaker cables are fairly inflexible

Elevator Pitch Review: Statement II by Tellurium Q represents the pinnacle of what this British Queen’s Award-winning company believes they can achieve with regard to the cables they make. They do represent a significant outlay financially and it is likely that they will find themselves in the upper-echelons with regard to system performance and so will be bought by those that see value in their perceived performance. In the HiFi PiG reference system, they (specifically the interconnects) offered up a clean and accurate sound that allowed you to hear into the depths of a mix with an apparent lowering of the noise floor.
