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?

Veneer over particle board is far less expensive than solid hardwood. Manufacturers claim that the lesser resonance of the particle board is an advantage also.
