Built some quite tall cabinets (1m) some time ago, and the speakers designer ( I was following plans) said acoustically definitely NOT solid wood cabinetry at that size. He recommended MDF panels, with birch ply bracing inside, so that's what I did.
I then decided to rosewood veneer the whole thing - now that stretched my woodworking skills. Advice veneer a small box first!
Tannoys are MDF with a walnut veneer.
I'd have paid more for a real wood variant with actual walnut.
Having received the grilles, well — I wondered whether I should reconstruct the whole speaker boxes out of real walnut. I need to stop somewhere though, and this is definitely straying into the ridiculous.
