Speakers made with unusual cabinet material

Hi Howard,

Regarding real wood speakers, see this thread. Daedalus Audio speakers, which I and a number of other A'gon regulars own, are a leading example.

I am using a pair of Rosinante Evolution Signature's that are made of a complex synthetic marble. The base, which holds the crossover, is made of a special material called DarkMatter. The result is a non-resonant loudspeaker enclosure that images better then anything I have ever owned.

solid wood = resonance problem. it's only for consumer's attraction. veneer is much simplier, cheaper and better.
exotic materials such as marble are too expensive. gotta be makin over quarter million after tax if you want to have those.
i was intrigued by performance of Event Opal active monitors enclosed in santimeter thick aluminium chassis where amps have no heat issues at all at any usage or abusage.

Not if it's done right. Although doing it right may result in a cost disadvantage relative to veneered approaches. See the comment by Daedalus_audio in the thread I linked to earlier.
