Best products for baffle material s ?

Looking for the "best" combination of materials. Building new boxes for my B&W CM1 bookshelfs as I can feel vibration on the baffle and sides, with classical music, quartet, at even very modest volume. These are very small 2 ways - so I can afford to go "all-out" on the boxes. High mass, inert, shaped baffle to minimize diffraction, interior design to break up waves. I'm considering only products that can be "woodworked". More detail later. Thanks.

If you make the baffle thicker make sure that the mid woofer gets some berating room towards the back, consider making the opening through the baffle conical i.e wider as it progress through the baffle.

Heres a pic for detail Front Baffle Detail

Sometimes the screws loosen up over time on B&W's. I would check that first.

Sorry, I forgot to put my choice of baffle material. I like Corian.

Second the Corian. It's non-resonant and will not contract and expand, as will any hardwood. Reasons virtually no one uses solid hardwoods as cabinet material.
