i personally wouldn't use MDF-- one mans 'coloration' is another man's 'music'. both can sound good-- but i find MDF dead-- no bounce, no life. if having bounce and life is coloration, i'll take it!
besidedly-- MDF weighs like a freakin' truck-- it's stiff, but it ain't easy to move..
there most definitely is a difference in sound between the two- but it depends on what you're looking for whether you want that or not. there are people that'll tell you that a cabinet is supposed to be inert to bring out the 'true' nature of your drivers.. unfortunately, the assumption is that the drivers are 'true' to begin with! proceed with THIS as your baseline knowledge, and your drivers'll inform your decision! problem being... do you know what your drivers are doing? argh.. yep-- conundrum!
only way to know is build two boxes and decide for yourself-- but based on personal experience, i'd almost always choose birch!
good luck-
d.
