The Battle between Stiffness And Damping Of The Speaker Enclosures!
As the chart shows plywood has a stiffness of 8 and diamond has the highest at 1050. The perfect speaker would therefore be made of diamond. Why hasn't anybody done it? Or have they?  
How the power of the PC has changed speaker sound
Erik, if you have ever opened up a speaker you will come to the same conclusions as I did. You have a woofer, a tweeter and a small crossover. Do you think it requires a Phd to put that together? You have designed the SNR1 Speakers which received ... 
How the power of the PC has changed speaker sound
Nothing has changed with speaker design. Same old boxes today as 30 years ago. SNR1s are MDF? Am I right? Speaker impedance has nothing to do with anything. It is what it is. I dont see how you could get a typical 2way box speaker to reach 1ohm ev...

My speakers are made of bespoke birch plywood cabinetry. The B&W 607 are not. Neither are most speakers made by Dynaudio, B&W, Elac, Kef, revel, PMC, Focal, ATC. Audiophiles want better sound and you cant achieve that with MDF. Why do sp... 
Why are there so many wooden speakers?
And what are these better materials that we consumers have all been denied? Magico Wilson and others use materials like aluminium or concrete or composite materials. If you are going to put out a new speaker everything needs to be fully upgrade...
