Speaker cabinet materials.


Just wondering what are some of the materials used in building cabinets for speakers? We all know of mdf and solid wood, but how popular is aluminum? Magico and Piega use it. Are there others that use aluminum? And what other materials are used? What about acrylic?
Acoustical wool and mass loaded vinyl is used inside, what else is used?

Check out Green Mountain Audio. They use cast marble cabinets that are supposedly extremely rigid. Their bookshelf monitors alone weight in around 50 lbs each! There is supposed to be nearly zero box loss contributing to an incredibly clean and coherent sound.
Hey Roy,

Nice to see you on here. I'm excited about your new Eos line. I'm scraping my pennies together for a pair of Eos 1's... I'm hoping I can manage it by the end of July :).

Keep up the good work!
