AMATI

Found these pixes sometime back and it really inspired me with ideas on how to make curved cabinet speaker. When I manually 'paint' my next DIY speaker, hopefully, I can approach as brilliant a result as the Amati. I had always assumed the luxury finishes on these high-end speakers the works of expensive machine/computer assisted processes. These Italians are truly master craftsmen.
