Why Veneer?

Something i always wondered about

It seems like most speakers are made of partical board with "Real wood Veneer" wraped around it.

Why?

Why not make speaker out of Cherry or Oak? Why always particalboard with Veneer?

Do regular woods have terrible acoustic properties or something?

Thanks for all the replys.
I was hoping there was some benefit from that. I would hate to think a company that produces $10,000 speakers was just cutting corners! :)

Ron,

Thankyou for that input, Talk about looking for a table scrap and getting a steak dinner! :)

Ok, here is a stupid question.

Has anyone here tried creating thier own materials for the boxes? That phenolic board sounds alot like a really fancy paper machet.
