In Reply to: High End Mini Monitor Cabinet Material? posted by hahax@verizon.net on June 14, 2024 at 15:52:47:
Go back to basic principles and find a material that with prevent any vibrations of the drivers from influencing the cabinet, The denser the better. My first home-built speaker used concrete but it's not very practical. Aluminium is difficult to work with, as are all metals. For DIY you are really limited to materials that you have the tools to work with, so wood or wood-based products such as MDF have been generally accepted as best for both DIY and pro-built speakers. There are various densities, so best to look around the market for what may be ideal. Good luck.
PS - My next speakers, after the concrete drain-pipe initial attempt, was a huge hexagonal 1960s design by Gilbert Briggs of Wharfedale using very hard coated shutter ply with stiffness and vibration resistance reinforced by a sand-filled panel and quarry tiles inside the 4.5 cu ft enclosure.
