[QUOTE="Rotelman, post: 792347, member: 19028"] I initially thought that this would be a no-no and that it would never be used in any decent enclosure. On that basis I did not consider this as an acceptable material for my 1st DIY 3 way ported speakers I'm busy with currently. This view changed since I recently started to restore a set of previously abused B&W DS2s... Whole thing constructed out of pressboard. :BANDW: Yes they are!. The use of pressboard does not detract from the sound quality these little gems punt out at all.... The densities are in any event VERY close. MDF is sitting at 700-720kg/m3 and the cold-pressed pressboard gets to 650kg/m3 for the 16mm stuff, but will achieve 700-740kg/m3 for the thinner stuff 12mm and lower. [/QUOTE]
