I cannot comment on any audible difference between solid woods vs ply type. Tho, with the same effort expended either way, and given you have a source to nice woods... a solid wood construction would be my choice without any doubt!! I recently listened to and enjoyed (to say the least)!!, OMA speakers with Jonathan Weiss, builder. Solid wood construction. The absolute way to go, IMO! Your's will be gorgeous! Which wood....? Difficult decision. Please keep us posted.
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?
