BigRedMachine stopped by the shop today to talk speakers.  While he was here, he agreed to pose with a new prototype.

Nice, but can it produce any BASS?

Well, at least I didn't ask which one was the prototype.

Looks like a photoshop foto.
Is this real?
The veneer looks too nice to be destroyed by that mammoth shiny woofer.

Black would probably work best. It has an icongruous look to it, the veneer makes the scale look off. Perhaps a black woofer.
Can anyone here photoshop one  in as an example

Sorry ..you can't take the architect out of me.

I can make this thing look good, you make it sound good

First, that big ring around the perimeter must be made thinner, to work with this veneer it should be copper. I would use a black woofer and a copper phase plug.

Also the screws are too large in diameter, it brings the eyes to the center of the speaker which looks like the warhear to a 155 mm howitzer, some may like that look, especially if they have a small pee pee.

Next are the feet...too large, they draw attention to themselves, all that work on the veneer should be justified by having the eye drawn to the wood work.
You don't want it too look vulgar, it is a large piece, give it some sophistication, let it be something that doesn't look like the elephant in the room. It has to be toned down.

For example ..those Mini Coopers with the British flag on the roof, they are cool for the first few weeks , but eventually you wish you went with something more  simple.

Nope.  Missed that by two weeks or so. 

It was done just for fun (as if I didn't have other things I should have been doing today).  Notice the reflection of Pete in the side of the cabinet?  Photoshop all the way.

I needed a small computer monitor.  This 4" single driver speaker fits the application quite nicely.  It is about 10" tall (and is not anticipated to be a product offering).

Can it really be considered an official pose without a beer?

You are right.  It should not be considered official...no alcohol is allowed on the work site.
