There were very few of those ever made. And it was somewhat controversial.

I missed a chance to get the Angelus a couple years back... Anyway, I've been brainstorming the 32mm acoustic centers offset of Satori MW19TX-8/TW29R, stepped or sloped, rounded or bevelled (or OB or nude) or???
OT, but much easier to get decent results from fullrange -- last night I did tilted-back Tangband W3-871SC Haffler Differential 3.1ch 1ft "console", good width soundstage and even better depth.

Heard them both. They were disappearing acts. Fantastic imaging.
In '89, I compared the TC50 with the Acoustic Energy AE1. I ended up buying the AE1s, better midrange, but the TC50 had deeper bass ( neither speaker was a bass king ).
Sure, you can note that the AE1s cost almost four times as much as the TC50s.... which just tells you how good the TC50s were, that they would stand up to what was, and arguably still is, the King of Soundstaging...

To be clear, I was referring to one of Dave’s speaker designs that were named for their non monkey coffin shape. Much harder build than the curved wide baffle enclosures.
He’ll no doubt post pictures of both.
Hey, finally I can post a pic of my non-diy speakers 
. Both on topic ! In 1985 Genelec released the 1022a, which has it all, timealigned, cutaway, waveguided active with ribbon tweeter. Here we see the beginnings of current Genelec products, but by 1985 this is mature monitor. I believe it participated in ending the in-house production of the monitors from my last post, NRK had quite a few black 1022b released 1987. The black is JBL's 250Ti, I believe released 1983. Mine is a later version, 1990. Only colour, one driver and crossover is different (AFAIK).
Cut away... J. Gordon Holt didn't like it much https://www.stereophile.com/content/jbl-250ti-loudspeaker.
I'm considering converting it to active 4-way .....

(PS! Nice if you guys put production years on your wonderful contributions.)
