How would speakers made of perforated wood sound like?

The sides of loudspeaker boxes seem to be transparent to low frequencies anyway. This must be since low frequencies have a very long wavelength and the panel thinkness is small. So they are bad insulators.


So perhaps then it would not make mich difference to LF if the sides are made of perforated panels.


A possible advantage is that mid and high frequencies will not be trapped inside the box creating a crappy sounding internal soundfield.


For example how would oak wood panels with 1.2cm x 1.2cm squares every 1.2cm sound like when making for example a Pleiades Auratone 5C type monitoring speaker? The square, square hole, square wood structure could allow nice wood side joint.


The drive unit could just be mounted with or without making a round 5in diameter hole.


Would perforated wood vibration on the other hand create an efficient low frequency cube acoustic radiator?
