What is your favorite material for loudspeakers?

So what is your preferred choice for loudspeaker cabinet materials and finish? Veneers, Laminates,Metals, Carbon, Solid hard woods, Partical board, birch plywood. Plastic coats,Plastic,Aluminum, Paint,Lacquers, French polish, Oil? So pick your cab material, veneer or other, finish choice what even you like? For me birch plywood with veneer and french polish. Whats your choice?

I bought some Hawaiian Koa veneer for the ProAc 2.5 clone project I have planned.

Johnk,

Your thread has got me thinking about the possibility of building the ProAc 2.5 clones using Baltic Birch plywood instead of MDF with veneer.

I know this would alter the sound of the speakers from their original intent. What are your thoughts on the sonic influence of this wood for box construction?

Thanks,
Dean
