Tellurium Q Statement II Speaker Cable

The Pinnacle of Tellurium Q Speaker Cable Performance

The Tellurium Q Statement II Speaker Cable represents the highest level of loudspeaker cable performance in the acclaimed British manufacturer’s current range.

Created for the most demanding high-end audio systems, Statement II is the result of years of research, extensive listening evaluations and an uncompromising approach to cable development.

Tellurium Q’s original Statement Speaker Cable was developed to surpass the remarkable achievements of Silver Diamond. Statement II takes this philosophy further, introducing additional refinement, transparency, musical expression and dynamic freedom.

Its defining ambition is deceptively simple: to allow the complete musical performance to emerge with extraordinary naturalness, without the cable imposing an obvious sonic character of its own.

From the finest harmonic detail to the largest orchestral crescendo, Statement II is designed to preserve the scale, timing, texture and emotion of the recording.

Beyond Silver Diamond. Beyond the Original Statement.

The story of Statement began with Tellurium Q’s determination to improve upon the extraordinary performance of its Silver Diamond Speaker Cable.

According to the manufacturer, the development team returned to the beginning of the design process, reconsidering individual materials, manufacturing decisions, cable geometry and construction details.

The original Statement emerged as a new performance reference for the company, earning international recognition from Hi-Fi+, Mono & Stereo, HiFi World, The Audiophile Man and other specialist publications.

With Statement II, the same philosophy has been refined further.

Reviewers comparing the original Statement and Statement II have reported meaningful improvements in perceived clarity, focus, midrange insight, bass expression and high-frequency refinement.

Importantly, these improvements have been described as preserving the original Statement’s remarkable coherence and natural musical character.

The Vision of Geoff Merrigan

Managing Director | Tellurium Q

Geoff Merrigan has explained that the success of Tellurium Q cables does not originate from a single dramatic innovation.

Instead, the company concentrates on numerous individual decisions which, taken together, contribute to the final performance.

The manufacturer’s development approach challenges the assumption that conductor purity alone determines cable quality.

Tellurium Q considers materials, insulation, cable geometry, mechanical construction, solder and connector plating as elements of a more complex design process.

Merrigan has described the company’s attention to solder selection and connector plating, including the composition and thickness of the plating layers.

Each design decision is evaluated through development testing and controlled listening comparisons.

This approach became an important foundation for the original Statement family and continued into the second generation.

An Uncompromising Approach to Cable Engineering

Tellurium Q places particular emphasis on the interaction between conductor characteristics, dielectric materials, physical geometry and the complete cable assembly.

Resistance, capacitance and inductance are fundamental electrical properties of real-world cables. Their behaviour and relationship to the connected amplifier and loudspeaker are relevant engineering considerations.

The company’s broader design philosophy also places importance on phase relationships and the preservation of musical timing.

Exact internal construction details remain proprietary. Tellurium Q does not publish a complete material and geometry specification for Statement II.

The listening impressions described throughout this page are based on manufacturer positioning and published subjective evaluations. Results depend on the complete audio system and are not guaranteed to be identical in every installation.

The Statement II Listening Experience

Independent reviews of Statement II repeatedly return to the same qualities: transparency, naturalness, musical ease, image stability and remarkable dynamic expression.

Exceptional Transparency and Low-Level Resolution

Statement II is intended to communicate fine musical information without artificial emphasis.

Reviewers have described greater perceived separation between instrumental textures, more clearly defined acoustic information and improved access to details within complex recordings.

The objective is not to make every detail stand out independently, but to preserve its natural place within the musical performance.

Midrange Clarity and Vocal Presence

The midrange has a particularly important role in the perceived realism of vocals and acoustic instruments.

Statement II has received praise for conveying natural vocal expression, instrumental body and fine harmonic information.

Paul Rigby highlighted additional midrange insight when comparing Statement II with the original Statement.

The resulting presentation has been described as highly informative while remaining fluid and musically involving.

Treble Refinement Without Artificial Brightness

High-frequency refinement is among the qualities specifically highlighted in comparisons between Statement and Statement II.

Pursuit Perfect System reported greater treble clarity, energy and resolution with Statement II.

The manufacturer’s aim remains an extended and naturally balanced presentation rather than exaggerated upper-frequency energy.

Bass Authority, Texture and Precision

Statement II has been praised for the perceived control, dynamic expression and tonal differentiation of low-frequency instruments.

Reviews have highlighted improvements in bass power and clarity over the original Statement, accompanied by convincing instrumental weight.

This balance is particularly relevant when reproducing large-scale orchestral works, acoustic bass and recordings with demanding dynamic contrasts.

Three-Dimensional Soundstage and Spatial Realism

One of the defining qualities discussed in Statement II reviews is the perception of greater openness and three-dimensional space.

Reviewers have described more clearly defined positions for individual instruments, a deeper presentation and a stronger impression of the original recording environment.

Tomasz Karasiński of Stereolife particularly highlighted the spatial organisation and transparency of the Statement II system.

The sense of space is intended to remain coherent and believable, without exaggerating instrument separation at the expense of the musical whole.

Microdynamics, Macrodynamics and Musical Freedom

Statement II is designed for systems where the smallest expressive changes and the most demanding dynamic passages are equally important.

The finest changes in instrumental intensity, articulation and timing can contribute significantly to the listener’s sense of a live performance.

At the opposite end of the scale, powerful orchestral passages require convincing dynamic freedom and control.

Mono & Stereo praised Statement II for its expanded dynamic scope and increased transparency compared with the previous generation.

Created for Reference-Level Audio Systems

The Tellurium Q Statement II Speaker Cable is designed to connect compatible high-end amplification to passive loudspeakers.

Its flagship performance positioning makes it especially relevant for:

• Reference stereo integrated amplifiers
• High-performance stereo power amplifiers
• Premium monoblock amplifier systems
• High-resolution passive loudspeakers
• Large-scale high-end audio installations
• Carefully optimised two-channel music systems

Cable length, amplifier-to-loudspeaker distance, available space and compatible terminations should be considered before ordering.

Banana, Spade and Bi-Wire Options

Tellurium Q lists banana and spade termination choices for the Statement II Speaker Cable.

The manufacturer also explains that its speaker cables can be supplied in a bi-wire configuration by adding the appropriate additional cable during manufacture.

The final configuration should match the amplifier binding posts and the loudspeaker connection arrangement.

For secure installation, switch off the amplifier before connecting or disconnecting loudspeaker cables and ensure that positive and negative terminals remain correctly separated.
