Cabinet Design

Altec Fan
From the info you gave me MDF is the material of choice because we are trying to avoid internal resonance in the system, the speaker should be heard and not it's enclosure, if the enclosure creates it's own sound this will be considered distortion, or is that every speaker cabinet will sound different because of the unique qualities of real wood? Reason why all acoustic instruments sound different.
Thanks

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The main thing is it can't be predicted WHAT the sound will be. Anytime you "Add" sound it isn't good. The speakers are to reproduce the sound as best it can from the musical source. If you start adding sound NOT from the musical source, then this isn't good.
