I don't have a large enough sample. The Wood Framed MMGs I heard were terrific. And easy on the eyes.

My goal would be to RID myself of the MDF in any form. Wood is a natural composite, but I may go the REAL fringe route and use PlyBoo. This is BAMBOO PLYWOOD. It is fairly expensive and some of it only comes in a 6 foot sheet. I've experimented with small samples and it is dense and difficult to machine. You MUST have extra sharp tooling. Bamboo is FULL of silicon which is harder than a whores heart and EATS tooling.

Given careful layout, I think a Single 4'x6' sheet will be able to reframe a pair of 1.6 panels.
However, I'm thinking of NO room for crossovers will be than be line level. Also, instead of metal
L brackets holding the panel to the base, I'll use ball or roller bearings to couple the panel TO the floor and only 'locate' the panel to the base with NON-LOAD BEARING methods. The panel back suppor will be a triangulated truss type arrangement. Such divisiion of area creates short coupling of great rigidity and minimal weight.

I'm including a 'concept' drawing which is NOT current. I'm 3 generations PAST this drawing which I used only to SEE it for further mental modeling. Ratios of sizes is important to diminish IN PANEL standing waves. That's part of the evolution of the idea.
