Yeah, proper material is definitely the right phrase. Living Voice make some staggering speakers with a chip-board enclosure for example.

Indeed.

I've heard staggering sound from cardboard, aluminium and perspex enclosures.

Are they proper wood?
Proper speakers should be constructed of proper wood.

Mark

Fake wood, dear boy. Fake wood.
Things like chipboard and MDF.

Unfortunately for you, chipboard and MDF are far better materials for producing good sounding speakers with than straight timber. I'm not actually aware of anyone using it for speaker construction at the moment.
