But now that I look at it, not sure if it'll work as a pair. I was really designed to stand on its own.

I'm an admirer of Krenov too.

But tryng to make a pair of bookmatched cases out of
rare wood and including the trademark tapered legs
of a Krenov case would be a huge task.

The fronts would not have the Krenov delicate handles
either.

But while we're discussing design, what about those
dreadful looking Usher cabinets? The impression I get
is of a speaker on a surfboard or Mr. B. Natural from
R. Crumb keepin' on truckin'.

For speakers, I think that something creative could
be done with the spikes incorporated into the design.
Tall and slender cabinets in light or dark wood always
look impressive. Why couldn't the spikes take off on
ball and claw feet or something? Just ideas.

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.
