MDF for walls in music listening room

It was suggested to me to use MDF for the walls in this room and either stain or paint them or cover them with dry wall. I know MDF is used in speaker cabinet design. Has any one here tried it for the walls of a music room or have any ideas of how it would affect the characteristics of the sound in the room? Thanks in advance.

Rives -

I have a concrete basement room I am going to finish/spruce up for a listening room, about 20x13x7-8 or so. Where can one find that Owens Corning panel material you have spoke of in the past? I was thinking put up some reasonably absorbtive panels (such as that stuff ) with drapes over that, should cut down the liveness somewhat, and be a lot less work (and easier to redecorate w/ new draping fabric) than Drywall. Any thoughts, offhand?

thanks
