I think Baltic Birch ply is some of the best to build a cage out of. I never worked with any Desert Monitors, or any monitors in particular. I would thinkas long as the joints were solid and the inside surface sealed appropriatly you could make a cage out of anything. I myself have built quite a few enclosures that might work well in your situation. Just let me know.
