Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF?


Im guessing they use mdf these days because its cheaper.

I really enjoy my solid wood (Sapele) speakers.  Most speaker companies will not build their speakers out of solid wood because the expense would be to high.  There is a correct way to build speakers out of wood which is very time consuming. I know there is more cost to a speaker then the cabinet.  But I couldn't spend 10's of thousands of dollars on a MDF cabinet with bondo filling the gaps. As for sound goes. Everybody has a personal preference no matter what it's made out of. Find the best speaker that plays the most genres of music really well.
