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


Im guessing they use mdf these days because its cheaper.

Listen to my Q3s for hours and never get fatigued.It depends on the wires which should be copper and the electronics it took me years to get them to sound my best.Oh well everyone has a Magico negitive rap.Enjoy the hobby!!
If they do it sounds great to me and many Audiophiles who have heard them.Thanks again I'm sure your speakers are great as well.Thanks again.
Thanks for your bogus opinion mr Stereophile.What great speakers do you have???
My Magicos do not ring as they are braced big time and they are very thick.
3 things make a great speaker the cabinet,the crossover and the drivers of which Magico makes the cabinet and most of the drivers not the tweeter however.Oh well thats my opinion.Good luck.
I agree the A1 is much better than the S1 mk2 having heard both at Axpona this year.I love the Magico aura been in the hobby 50 years i have had many speakers including the Magico mini 2s made out of layers of Baltic Birch one of the best made wooden speaker cabinets.With the Magico aluminum  cabinet you must get the best amp and  preamp also you must use the best copper speaker wire.I have had Maggies 1Ds mg 3s  and Avalon to name a few.I don't clam to know everything but i have learned a few things  over the years.It however takes a lot of effort to make Magico sound its best.I totally agree there are many great speakers out there of which Magico is just one.Overpriced is not a problem for me however i never paid list price on any speakers.What great speakers do you have?Good luck in this great hobby.
Love aluminum Magico already sold out the first run of A1 speaker at $9800.00 pair so there are many people that love aluminum.It also depends on drivers and crossover in concert with  aluminum and yes Wilson speakers are also wonderfully made.
Try Magico they use aircraft grade aluminum as it sounds much better and is neutral.Mdf is history for state of the art speakers.
