My experience indicates you don't need either. That's my whole point: real timber is less scary to use than some folks imply.
I have a couple of pairs of fairly badly made and badly treated boxes that are holding together perfectly.
That said, I have much respect for people who work and join timber well. Box joints (finger joints) look cool.

Thanks for the input. I am partial to plywood myself, but I have never tried hardwood. I have a Japanese "Chrysler" soft pine speaker bought in a thrift store that I have not gotten around to testing, but have never heard a hardwood speaker. I do like the look of box joints!

Pay attention to the grain if not using quarter-sawn.
Hit it with a belt-sander when the glue is cured.
Solid, if a bit heavy.
