Sophia Electric Baby Amp

Void free 13 ply Baltic Birch is impressive and way too exotic for the Home Depots and Lowes in my area.

That's what I was thinking. Also, as you mention, MDF is far more stable and lower resonance than any plywood, but we've got to understand that the resonance is what the AN designers want.

And that, in turn, is why I have often pointed out that AN speakers define current "best practice" in their designs -- which isn't to say that they aren't good.

I'm guessing that was a typo... Did you mean "defy"?

If a brand is going to manufacture SET amps clearly it isn't interested in best practices. I really can't wait to compare AN's eccentric approach to textbook brands like Revel. Should be loads of fun to see which sound I prefer.

It should be define IMO - other makers have been selling the notion that "cheap" is "better" for years. It's easier and "cheaper" to "market" some white papers than use more expensive time consuming and higher failure to produce parts. Profits over quality any day.
