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


Im guessing they use mdf these days because its cheaper.

WATT uses inert cabinets.  Yet,*internal bracing* with all the wood combinations mentioned, will drastically cut down on resonance and vibration. 

Keep in mind, drum sets consist of wood plies or solid wood, and they get their unique tone from the choice of the various wood used.  Different wood types resonate at different points.   MDF would make for a very dead sounding drum because it resists resonating.  Who knows?   I would think the drivers and the quality of the crossover would make the big difference.
