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

Use 5/8 inch mdf, layer of non hardening glue, 3/8 hdf, layer of non hardening glue, and 5/8 plywood to support them. Near perfect without the cost. Perhaps put the hdf 1st. Toss up. Enjoy. You have 98-99% at reasonable cost. If you’re obsessive switch the 5/8 mdf for 5/8 + of granite for your baffle. Your there with the big boys at minimal cost. 
Just make all walls 2.5 inches thick. Brace front to back with old (dry and shrunk) hardwood. And use granite glued onto the front. Voila! Success!!!
