Dunno, but SerenityNow seems to knoweth more than I about these things...

Hmm... so Statement II's are DIY speakers with 2x8", 2x4" and a ribbon. Initial impression from looking at the drivers is that it probably sounds really good but isn't what you want if you're looking for dynamics.

Bottom line is that you need surface area -- 12" or 15" woofers or equivalent in smaller drivers. Two 8" drivers (roughly equivalent to three 6.5") could probably handle it if they were designed for high power but my impression is that the Dayton woofers are not. I could be wrong though...
