Are carbon fiber speaker cabinets inherently better than wood or metal ones


There seems to be a pretty big jump in speaker prices when moving to carbon fiber cabinetry when all else is equal (or what seems like equal). Is this because it is able to be molded into more acoustically correct shapes or simple the characteristics of the material?

Carbon Fiber is an expensive material and very time-consuming to do properly. And very difficult to do at scale. If you want to see what's involved in making CF parts, I recommend spending some time on the Easy Composites YouTube channel
