With zero knowledge in the field I'm just curious as to why bamboo? What special properties does it bring to the plate?

"With zero knowledge in the field"

 

Finally, something we can both agree on.

 

"I'm just curious as to why bamboo? What special properties does it bring to the plate?"

 

In most cases you'll see bamboo used in Asian countries. It's very difficult to get the same types of wood we have here, and in Europe. That's why you don't see too many Asian speaker companies.

 

What an intelligent reply! Obviously you don't know a darn thing about the properties of different woods.

Also a bit revealing of why you shy away from science and prefer to just guess at things.

Klipsch traditionally used 3/4" marine grade Birch plywood in the Legacy designs. Now using 1" MDF for the base cabinets of the LaScala II's and a few other minor locations
