Looks like it's sitting on a vinyl LP. Is that a stylized base, or something to show scale?

Looks like a canoe for Weebles.

The striking oval shape, an imposing silhouette that is almost 1.70 meters high, and the gleaming surfaces combine to create a spectacular yet graceful and almost sculpted figure. The monolithic speaker cabinet weighing 140 kg rests on a 25-kg stand milled from a single block of aluminum.
Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles
Thanks 'wolf!
The article does not mention Andrew however with the coincident driver clearly in evidence, I'm sure that this is an Andrew Jones design.

It's only a prototype, whatever it is
At least at the time of the 2015 shows
Way beyond the typical price points of ELAC speakers currently, a whole new direction for them
Joe
That would be a whole new direction in keeping with the work that Andrew did at KEF and then at TAD.
I guess he's moving up in the world from companies with three letter names to one with four.

Jones has been working for ELAC for more than a year now, doing essentially the same thing he was doing for Pioneer with his designs like the SP-BS22-LR and SP-FS52
Good performance out of cheap speakers

This ugly looking prototype thing is a move towards a new market or so it seems
Joe
The aluminum base is the part with the spikes/levelers. I still say that's a record it's sitting on . . . or a fabricated base made to look like a record. You can read on the label, "Copyright, All Tracks are . . . "

The speakers are not on real Lps, they are over sized theme oriented fanciful facsimiles:
Maybe ELAC's next project is a Miracord turntable to play 24-inch LPs?

I think it,s a rug.

Hah! Good catch. So a 40-inch LP player would be required?

Not a rug, at least not as defined by English vocabulary
More like a mat of the nonabsorbent type sans nap or pile
German to English jocularity jocularity jocularity
Always fun!
Joe
ok, what's it in German? I have a lot of dictionaries.
