They are not always the same thing.Take heed of the Corian/lead weights info. Sometimes dense can result in a lower and more pronounced resonance. He made a bell and then had to add dampening.
You would not be the first that labored through an all out effort with exotic material and ended up with a "Damn, didn't figure that would happen"
So these exotic materials Wilson and Estelon use are rare and not off the shelf/Amazon-ableMany a well controlled resonance speaker enclosure have been made out of wide variety of readily available materials with bracing suited for the material chosen.
So do you want resonance control a requirement or is it resonance control only using an exotic material requirement?
If exotic material, be prepared to purchase more or different type of tooling.New skills may need to be developed ( mold making if exotic is a pour n set ).
Simple processes like " ...- then glue bond the two...- ", become difficult because no glue is available due to toxic handling requirements.
Over many decades I've seen and heard about home constructors headed out on the ultimate enclosure adventure that ultimately was a nightmare in expense and result. A rare few are stunning examples, but usually are the second or third attempt.
If your goal is to try something new okay, just be aware that like Wilson or Rockport, your first attempt may be costly in time plus dollars along with being a dud.
