best wood for speaker cabinets ? oak,cherry, balti


I am getting ready to build the Audio Note Kit 3 speakers and have the plans to build them.I am a woodworker and have built quite a few cabinets.

I am curious to find out if there is a better wood to use for these cabinets. The original plans called for mdf but now they (AN) recommend baltic birch.

I am curious to know if solid cherry, oak or walnut might be better.

Anyone know?

When I first got into the high-end business, many years ago and started to meet the designers, I was told by many that you should never build a speaker completely out of solid wood. That was over thirty years ago, but I think the principals/rules are still the same.
