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.
