Dennis - There are a few good reasons to use aluminum chassis. They are non-ferrous so they don't conduct magnetic lines of flux. It's lighter and easier to tool. Aluminum conducts heat better than steel.
As a builder in an apartment, I have to use a power drill so aluminum is my friend. It's very hard to drill through steel that way.
Plus you used terms like "whitish" and "bleaching out" of the sound. I have never heard such terms.
