As far as I know, the desirable quality of a speaker cabinet
is NOT its resonances, but on the contrary that it be as
acoustically inert as possible (i.e. no resonances in audio
range). The commonly used veneered particle board is quite
good in this respect. Using stone seems a bit unusual (not
to mention heavy) but I have read about subwoofer enclosures
made of concrete, I think in Audio Amateur. As I recall, he
had to reinforce the floor.
