dev null Posted September 20, 2012 Share Seems you can do magic if you are clever. So it turns out one can build speakers out of solid wood, by first creating small segments and then putting it all together with a glue that isolates the wood acoustically. I have always thought that Sonus used MDF and then veneered the MDF segments. Turns out I was wrong. Still my favourite speakers though, and even a stand-mounted version of it will do nicely. See http://www.hifi-note...abrikage-nl.htm I currently have some PC boards to build a Krell KSA50 clone that I bought from a Yank on the DIYAudio site, but when I will get to that project, heaven alone knows. Sourcing some proper heatsinks was my first problem. And then I need the transformers, which are very heavy and will make shipping interesting.

nishiki Posted September 20, 2012 Share Well, it depends on the type of enclosure. If it is going to be a box of some sorts, then you are going to have problems. I am not so much on about the tonal quality. In any case, in a good speaker design the material from which the enclosure should be made must be acoustically dead. The whole situation is completely different to a guitar where you want the wood to give character to the sound. With speakers its should be the other way around.Get your point about acoustical instruments, and most famously certain violins of great value from antiquity from a special type of wood hitherto unequalled in nature. The vibration of the strings are transferred to the woods sound chamber, which produces the sound, although resonance is surely to be avoided (vibrations as certain 'natural' frequencies) But a speaker box is a surely a different device. The sound waves are projected from the moving cone. The box is an inert passive anchor, and also an acoustical sound chamber inside, with suitable porting. And exciting resonant frequencies would be undesirable surely because the box will buzz / boom at those certain frequencies. Help me understand if I got it wrong please: I love the physics of sound although my theoretical knowledge is a bit rusty.No, you're exactly right there.
