Actually, if you go to a high-end commercial sound re-inforcement cabinet (like PAS, EAW, McPhearson, Deitz, etc.) you won't find much particle board/MDF. They use 13-ply Baltic Burch, 17-ply Russian Laminate, etc. if they're using wood (looks more like Falconwood or Delignit). The more exotic designs use polygraphite and carbon fiber reinforced Kevlar. Again, it goes back to construction costs. Bose, Klipsch, Peavey, even JBL are competing in price. The high-end guys build what they consider the best and try to justify a price point 2 or 3 times greater than the rest of the pack. You don't find a lot of McPhearson Monoliths in clubs, discos or living rooms, nor do you find many S&S Bs or Ds in piano bars or living rooms . . . Danny Moore Houston Chapter
