RE: Loudspeaker cabinet material and sound of each . Cabinet builder ??

Inert isn't always the solution and you need A LOT of really STIFF material to create an inert enclosure.
The last speakers I built are 22mm at the thinnest spot and 90mm at the thickest with the 22mm areas in the minority. A change from the test MDF box to birch plywood made a huge difference for the better. When going for the resonating approach of enclosure building or open baffles the type of wood used plays an even bigger role. I go for sitka spruce or pine plywood here.

MDF sucks at everything. Speakers, turntable plinth, you name it.
