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?

Why did you say without the negatives of open baffle? I have own many box and Open Baffle speakers over the decades. My much preferred preference is OB, which allows the money spent/wasted on the unnecessary 3 sides to be spent on better drivers and XOs (assuming they are).
