They use the lightest material they can get away with (sometimes for the good, if the cabinet behaviour is managed as part of the overall acoustic design). Home constructors, however, can be tempted to work with the stiffest/heaviest material they can afford (or lift !). I have come across cabinets like this that would survive artillery bombardment.

You are certainly right, this would survive artillery bombardment, so heavy and strong!

Hi there I did try shining a light through but no luck, I just connected them straight to my Denon mini system. I already have them connected to another pair of vintage speakers and they sound amazing, but when I connected these to the same system they sounded a bit disappointing if I’m honest, which is why I thought maybe an amplifier might work better with them
