JBL had a Lancer model - the 88 - that I think is even cooler. It was a standard rectangular bookshelf enclosure, butwith a wood and black cloth grill with a cloth circle over the woofer and a black rectangle over the upper part where the cone tweeter was. It had a forty-five degree bevel so it covered almost the entire front - there was only a thin lip surrounding the grill, so it looked integral to the enclosure.
Not the greatest sounding speaker - perfectly fine, but there is a reason that midranges exist, and more sophisticated tweeters and crossovers do too - but I think it is the most handsome speaker ever made.
