Hi Soren My 2 cents: -shouldn't be a problem embedding a wooden speaker encasement with speaker, inside pretend stone jutting out from your wall here and there? Jutting out effect is made with paper mache or plaster of Paris covering the speaker box... and have the front (the part of the speaker the audience may see) covered with speaker cloth.. You may want to stain or change the color of the cloth so obviously acrylic won't do for that, or anything that may stiffen that fabric, so stain it with dye (i.e. dye for tie-dye) if must discolor it. -you can play with using the stone backdrop as the rear of the speaker, so that the speaker with casing is fixed to the fake wall, (so, before the speaker with casing is fixed to it, the back of it is open to reduce weight and strain on your wall. And here is where you'd have to trouble shoot the acoustics way more than the speaker cloth covering it for visual aesthetic. -embed speaker stands in the wall like how rebar is embedded in concrete in construction
