An audio loudspeaker (11) is described which is particularly designed to act as a piece of art (15) hung on a room wall. Steps are taken to assure that the art aspects of the speaker do not interfere with the high quality reproduction of audio frequencies. The speaker (11) has several features which assure that it provides high quality audio reproduction even though it is relatively thin. Pegboard (36-39) divides the cabinet cavity into a plurality of parallel resonant cavities (26-35), as well as connecting the relatively broad front and back walls (18, 19) of the cabinet to enhance their resistance to unwanted vibration. A relatively large woofer-midrange (14) is used with the same extending through the cabinet back wall in such a manner that the cabinet thinness is not adversely affected. A bass reflex port (63) and crossover network (Fig. 7) particularly developed for the speaker is also described.
