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


Im guessing they use mdf these days because its cheaper.

Helomech, you make a lot of good points, well done.  

Its funny everyone gets caught up in cabinet shape, wood or not, shape etc, when the room you put the speakers in makes far more tonal difference than the cabinet.  AS you move up the quality and lower the noise floor some of these tiny differences like metal vs wood and other small details start adding up so they do matter.  But for most, at home or the studio, the room is the issue that divides great sound from just okay sound.
