Resonanses at higher frequencies with high Q releasing its energy faster sounds better , its easier to follow the tune .sunbeamgls wrote: ↑2023-11-22 00:58That's 2 different parameter changes there - lighter and stiffer. A high mass cabinet can be stiff, and is highly likely to be so. Using the same materials, the lighter cabinet will be less stiff. However, it could potentially be stiffer than the high mass cabinet if the material is changed. But light and stiff materials tend to have very high frequency resonance, so likely to be in the vocal range which will bring significant problems in terms of emotional connection to the music. They can, of course, be damped to an extent, but that usually adds mass! Its a very circular discussion :)
In my opinion it also sounds better if those resonanses ( energy ! ) can be transported quickly from the cabinet to the floor using spikes.
