Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF?

Nice observation and thanks for reading them. Wilson Beseech has done more R & D into speaker and driver construction then any company I know of, perhaps all of them put together. On their website they have so much information.

@greg22lz you made a profound statement.
"The difference between theory and reality"

So many theoretical designs and mathematical equations hypothesis and super expensive space age designs but does it sound great after 15minutes half hour and even after 15 hours of straight listening?

Aluminum is good material but a) need to be calculated to be low resonant and suitable for loudspeaker b) need dedicated tools, not suitable for DIY c) expEnsive. Natural Wood is good but only with heavy thk. Also need good practice and suitable tools. It is better to use playwood and MDF for DIY being easy to work, less expensive, good acoustic characteristics. It is perfect for final painting or to be dressed by low thk natural wood. In terms of constructability, it is preferable to use playwood for the bottom, front and top side and MDF for remaining panels. Reinforcements by playwood. No problem to glue MDF and playwood togheter as well final layer of natural wood if any. Please to consider that the real sonici part of loudspeaker are drives, crossover, wiring cable (internal and external should be adequate quality and dimensions) as well the cabinet should be heavy, strong, its very low resonance. Have a good DIY

Aluminum? Wouldnt it ring more than the bells of war of 1812 overture?

Yes it would.
