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


Im guessing they use mdf these days because its cheaper.

Who gives a fig anyway...the best speakers I ever heard were a Bozak B-313b bookshelf speakers.  Great drivers and crossovers in a plywood veneered whatever box.  Didn’t care, they were unbelievably musical and dynamic and did justice to all kinds of music.  Sometimes execution means more than pseudo intellectual techno babble from wanna be designers.

@ebm. So true that high performers,or expensive items, are often maligned  by those who can’t afford them.  It’s funny really :)  many Timex wearers think Rolex is a total waste of money since it doesn’t keep time any better ;)  And for those types; often artwork is simply ink on paper - another waste of money ....
@veroman I don't know, having just ended a 25-year relationship with one resonance approach (expensively minimized), and invested in a completely different one (optimized/lossy, to my surprise), I find this a pretty interesting thread.  I don't know that one approach dominates, but the design choices are intrinsically fascinating.
