ABSTRACT:
A high-fidelity stereophonic or multi-channel speaker system including speakers that mimic architectural columns or corbels. The speakers are enclosed by an acoustically transparent scrim with apertures in the acoustically transparent scrim arranged to simulate stone or wood. Corbel speakers operate in a dipole configuration making them highly suitable for use as satellite speakers in multi-channel systems. In addition, both the column and corbel speakers have an actual secondary utility as display stands; this secondary utility having attendant psychoacoustic effects which enhance the perceived diffusion of the sound from the speakers.
