I think my DIYs look OK. Though perhaps if I'd taken the time and effort, an automotive gloss finish would look better; maybe sometime I'll rework them.

They look way better than everything I ever produced and that was a lot. Spare the reworking, honestly.

Very well proportioned!
So I can only take so much credit for those proportions. In fact the cabinets are from Parts Express, their Denovo Audio knock-down MDF 1.16 cu. ft. cabinets. I don't have a table saw so it was pretty much necessary to just buy the cabinets. I laminated 1/4" of MDF to the front panel to bring it to 1" thickness; also I fabricated the black bases myself.

Was about to post same! You just beat me to it. Still a fine looking speaker.
...
The thread has deviate from "most beautiful ... int he World" T Several of the last posts have been about speakers some of us like ... few (none?) of the last examples would qualify , even, considering the vagaries of subjectivity, as "most beautiful in the World"
Peace.

Replace the woofer with a wheel and you have a great Guinea pig cage. Powered speakers?
Looks very much like Sonus fabers.Opera Audio Callas Divas. Glossy Mahogany. Leather baffle.
Glossy Walnut below.
Indeed, the shape and use of leather for the front baffle is a dead give away.
I wonder if they are related.
I think they are dead cute. If you live in a small apartment, they are very practical.
I like them.

Have experienced these in person. Wow! If I ever come across these for a reasonable price (never gonna happen)..
What is the design justification for the curve? Don’t line arrays of any kind have cancellation issues and create a comb response? I’ll do some research.
Regular line arrays suffer greatly from lobing and comb filtering and require a lot of distance for the drivers to sum well. But this design, which is called CBT (constant beamwidth transducer), overcomes these issues. The curvature design gives the needed delay. It's also possible to do that with DSP, but the physical curving avoids the need for advanced DSP power. See thread below about CBTs.
Constant Beamwidth Transducer (CBT) Speakers
Not sure how many members have CBT speakers, but I know a few have shown interest. Since there have been scattered ongoing discussions, am creating this thread to give it a home. If you are wondering what CBTs are, they are the work of former JBL and Audio Artistry engineer Don Keele. Edit...
