Speakers made with unusual cabinet material


There were the Celestions with their Aerolam cabinets. The Green Mountain Audio speakers that had a sort of cast marble cabinet. Were/are there other speaker manufacturers that used some kind of odd or exotic materials for the cabinets? Are there speakers with real wood cabinets (rather than veneer?)

solid wood = resonance problem. it's only for consumer's attraction. veneer is much simplier, cheaper and better.
exotic materials such as marble are too expensive. gotta be makin over quarter million after tax if you want to have those.
i was intrigued by performance of Event Opal active monitors enclosed in santimeter thick aluminium chassis where amps have no heat issues at all at any usage or abusage.
Doin' right with veneer will not compromise doin' right with solid wood only with smaller expense. Next move of solid-wood or any other higher-priced materials manufacturer is to convice consumer.
mmm implementation of Wilson also their materials are the primary cause of their horrible sound.
