That's a nice treatment. I couldn't really see a closeup...
maybe it's on the pdf.

There have been a lot of sculptural things done with
speaker boxes like pyramids, trapezoidals and so on.

With the weight required for bracing and drivers and
materials such as mdf those slender legs of a Krenov
design would be a construction and stability problem.

AudioXpress over the years has had more than a few
exotic designs. Trouble was, they weren't based on
the right design principles and so the author admitted
this wasn't the way to go. I'm thinking in particular
of a curved array which was supposed to focus all this sound
on a seated listener like he was in a shell. What about
when he stood up-- or had company?

AudioXpress is an issue these days. The magazine is getting
slimmer all the time and yet they have all this history to
share.
