RE: "Hardwoods are not necessarily 'hard' " ...

Some people here, pguy, just won't accept anything that PG says. ;-))

I don't know if you're aware of some listening experiments some memebers of TNT Audio did, where they built solid hardwood cabinets for some small speakers and then compared the sounds produced by the speaker which had the stock MDF cabinet with the same drivers in the solid wood cabinets.

The easy - and unanimous - decision was that the MDF cabinets "sucked the life out of the music", compared to the solid wood cabinets. But why do spkr mfrs use it? It's cheap, easy to machine and stable!

Booply sounds like an interesting material to make Maggie frames from! There's a company in the UK has come out with a Linn LP12 plinth machined from a solid block of booply - so no braced & mitred corners to make the box! Supposed to sound very good. :-))


Regards,

Andy
