Speaker cabinet materials.


Just wondering what are some of the materials used in building cabinets for speakers? We all know of mdf and solid wood, but how popular is aluminum? Magico and Piega use it. Are there others that use aluminum? And what other materials are used? What about acrylic?
Acoustical wool and mass loaded vinyl is used inside, what else is used?

Bamboo laminate is used by Escalante and Ascend Acoustics. Ascend has a CSD graph of the bamboo cabinet to show how little resonance there is in the v-lam bamboo. Go to the last graph on Ascend Acoustics Sierra graph page to check it out.
