Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF?


Im guessing they use mdf these days because its cheaper.

Solid jarrah sounds excellent.It is a really dead sounding timber .I have used it laminated over MDF in larger speakers and as 100% solid in smaller speakers.It sounds much better than MDF or plywood to me.It is also great for turntable plinths and racks.Grado were also using it for some of their most expensive phono cartridges.It seems to have just the right density [medium-to high] and grain structure[short].It also looks beautiful.
