hi,
I've not this pannels but all my furnitures in my listening room are made of natural waxed spruce and it sounds pretty good...
so I think it could be right...
People do sometime tweak their listening room with little cubes of precious woods...
See too the test about effects of lacquers on guitars: pretty interesting!!!

I bet this room sounds great.
"People do sometime tweak their listening room with little cubes of precious woods..."
But if they honestly believe that little cubes of precious wood will make a substantial difference, I have a bridge in Brooklyn they can purchase - CHEAP!!
True, accurate room tuning requires quite a bit of science and a good measure of experience to do properly. Fiddling about with silly blocks of wood and little brass thimbles is a fool's game...

..but...but...they are treated with FOSSIL AMBER!! It gives you that paleo sound!! Hear the performance like the Neanderthals did!!
The favored wood for piano soundboards and stringed instrument tops. Considering the piano has probably the greatest frequency response range of any acoustical instrument, I believe instrument makers have already done the research needed for audiophiles.
I use spruce shelving extensively. In order to extract the best performance though, as written earlier, the component must sit cantilevered upon the shelving. You can NOT use it as a simple footer.
Shelf should have small risers at the edges and the component must sit between those risers.
In my experimentation any coating: lacquer, stains, oils, even cyanacrylics all impart a rise in the top end. I prefer the natural wood,
I would worry about leaving the spruce completely unprotected. Don't want it to dry out completely
I have long used advice from Enid Lumley - coat your raw wood with olive oil.
Makes a nice finish and is benign. Though I do like shellacs as long as you mix them yourself. I think the olive oil is better.
Wood comes kiln dried, at least mine do, center cut vertical grain
Have you found a good supplier?
Never had the opportunity to buy from the same people twice since the previous vendor no longer has existed!
Thanks,
Initial purchases were off of Ebay from luthiers supplying bracing blocks.

I would imagine the binder in even the best Baltic Birch is the cheapest solution. I am contemplating a speaker cabinet build and would love to find quality single ply spruce.
what an amazing tweaker!!!
AS part of Shun Mook I had many opportunities to chat with Bill (used to be a dealer)
Interestingly their tuning m'pingo discs are made of M'pingo wood, African blackwood, with rosewood plug where a tiny crystal is inserted. It was small, red, about 2 mm across and faceted.
Notice all the violins in his room? you don't need all violins, guitars, mandolins and other string instruments work well also.
Yes all this instruments makes nice resonators!
