I was wondering if there would be a noticable difference between using 3/4" MDF & 11 Ply Birch for normal enclosures.

If cost was not a factor for me I would use birch. No way I'm spending $90.00+ a sheet to build a 20+ cube enclosure. But for a smaller box probably.

The last time I checked here it was around 85 for baltic birch which was three years ago. I just asumed that the prices kept going up. You could be right.
