Broad discussion on speaker cabinet materials.

So I've heard a hand full of Acora speakers at two shows lately, including CAF that is going on right now. Compared to all the speakers that I have heard so far at shows, where most of them sound terrible, because of room acoustics, the Acora sounds relatively pretty good. Tonal balance is off, with accentuate highs, like typical show room speakers, but I have not heard any resonance, nor distortion from these Acora speakers, spatial performance is pretty good as well, fairly clear and intelligible vocals. In some rooms, there were what appears to be some room resonance, of course any speakers can suffer from that.

It's a bit of a surprise to me, I must say. I didn't think the designer have advanced speaker know how based on the time I spoke with him at the first show these speakers last year. I guess inert cabinet makes a huge difference?
 
I would've thought that someone with "Science" as their avatar might be more cautious in assuming causation.
Do you not see the question mark at the end of the sentence?
 
To me, it reads like you're not completely certain, but happy to accept that the cabinet material explains what you heard (in uncontrolled, sighted conditions).

Yes, uncertain indeed. There is the word "guess" and the sentence ended with a question mark. I am very versed in the art of verbiage CYA :)
