Why Veneer?


Something i always wondered about

It seems like most speakers are made of partical board with "Real wood Veneer" wraped around it.

Why?

Why not make speaker out of Cherry or Oak? Why always particalboard with Veneer?

Do regular woods have terrible acoustic properties or something?

Actually, the "cost" of building a speaker cabinet has nothing to do with the use of MDF. The fact is that some of the finest and most expensive loudspeakers in the world use MDF, many of which are built on a "cost no oject" basis.
