That is simply not true. MDF is not particle board which is what you might be thinking of.MDF is good for a lot of things. It is dimensionally stable and easy to work with. Glues up nice and takes veneers well.I have made quite a few pieces of furniture using it in some places.For a speaker cabinet, it is a good choice. You then use veneers to get the look you want.

Community Reviews

The Jamo S 803 pair comes across as a compact bookshelf speaker set that delivers strong value for computer or home audio use. Long-term use with a Fosi Audio TB10D amp has been great, and the speakers are described as sounding great while looking very similar to Klipsch models. The cabinet material debate centers on MDF, which is presented as a sensible speaker cabinet choice because it is stable and helps reduce vibration, with veneer used for the finish. The main caveat is that the build and finish are not solid wood, so appearance and materials matter more than the price tag suggests.

  • Value-focused buyers comparing speaker looks, because the cabinet styling closely matches a more expensive model.

  • Listeners wanting rigid speaker cabinets, because MDF helps keep the enclosure from audibly vibrating.

  • Computer desk listeners pairing with a small amp, because these have worked well for years as desktop speakers.

    SkillfulSnow5641

  • Home theater tinkerers who need Dolby Atmos connections and mounts, because this design includes them while a similar alternative lacks them.

    deelseaker

  • Buyers expecting solid wood cabinet construction, because the enclosure uses MDF with a thin veneer rather than solid wood.

    AquaVolcano980turnne

  • Shoppers who equate MDF with premium exterior materials, because MDF is the cabinet structure and not the visible outer surface.

"Quality" and "MDF" should never be used in the same sentence.....unless "crappy" or like adjectives have been added as a modifier.
In today's world are there any speakers which are not made of MDF?

True. I have wooden teeth veneers. They are pretty durable for eating moist vegetables.

MDF is not used in cabinets because it is cheap, but because it's density keeps the cabinets from audibly vibrating. MDF is even used in speakers that cost thousands of dollars.

Fun fact: I bought a sealed MIB Super Powers Batmobile from him a decade ago so he could take his kid to Disney. Pretty sure this was before he started his channel.

No what I am saying is that I have the identical Klipsch version of these speakers and they sound great and are a good value.
