Please note, Magio STARTED their speaker manufacturing business using plywood for the cabinet . MDF is as dense as plywood and inert enough to adhere veneer without future movement. It’s inherent stability combined with bracing creates all the stiffness necessary for any speaker enclosure. Drivers are tuned to the box, therefore if aluminum were used, as it is stiffer, and more dense, the driver types, as well as other design components, will be necessary for tuning the sound. Finally, few can afford a 200,000.00 pair of aluminum billet machined speaker so it hardly matters if aluminum is a better material. I listened to a magico system, m project speakers, and my guess is that system was in the neighborhood of 350,000.00. Frankly obscene, however, after 20 minutes of listening, although the aluminum speakers had a provocative sound, they were very fatiguing to the ear. All sweetness was gone. The difference between theory and reality!!
