I worked in an audio store in the late 70's.  There was a speaker line that we picked up, that was made of styrofoam.  They looked great, had an aluminum surround mounted to a flat base.  Black grill fabric.  The speaker panel was routed or molded to make different areas of frequency response.  Multiple drivers.  They sounded a bit hollow but were not terrible.  They didn't sell well, either.  I can not remember the brand name.
