Curious about the oval cut out on top?
Is that for the handle so it sits below the surface?

It's actually an ashtray.

Handle would be my guess. Bob Burt (and others) do that.

Really? The MS-12 is IMHO one of the most god-awful speakers ever made.

And yep, the oval is for a leather and brass handle.
