Hi Erik - 

Brisbane HiFi has reported specifications for the Klipsch Rebellion on its web-site:  

https://brisbanehifi.com.au/products/rebellion-h-8-premium-bookshelf-loudspeaker?srsltid=AfmBOoqA3D6nzRKl0sFuPKj4hl-zyH1ybKzFfkXQ7yMKWu4JfbL1OPmH

What surprised me is that the speaker is composed of MDF, covered with a real wood veneer.  I would have expected the use of plywood or balsa, rather than MDF.  

I have written to Klipsch Support to see if these specs are legit.  

Be well, 

Rich 

We have a pair on order and are very excited to get our demos.   Klipsch seems to be doing everything right lately, and are making the best products they've ever made by far.  

Always thought a heritage bookshelf would be a really cool option.  We will post our honest impressions when we get them!

Honest opinion welcomed, hopefully with some comparative evaluations. Marketing babble is not - just saying I like it because…isn’t helpful. 

It is my understanding that MDF is a more solid and consistent material than plywood.  In addition to being consistently dense it machines very well. 

The thickness matters, of course.
