Weight of speakers

Posted by middleground on September 22, 2014 at 12:18:53

Any correlation between the weight of a speaker, size for size, and its sound quality?

Sounds strange put like that I admit, but what with the search for the most rigid cabinets possible the thickness of standard construction box-type cabinets, MDF or plywood and not aluminium or carbon fibre or something exotic like that, keeps getting greater.

Better quality drivers have cast baskets and not stamped ones, so weight is a factor there also.

So have any of you liked a speaker until you lifted it and started to have doubts about it because of its lack of heft?
