Camphor and Monkeypod wood have roughly the same janka hardness (900 vs 950) and roughly the same density (38lbs/ft^3 vs 33lbs/ft^3), with both having medium-to-large open pores, so I imagine both to have basically the same softer cup resonance/expansive openness due to the larger pore sizes, with the primary difference being asthetics.

DMs are a thing. This is not.

Hey, I don't even know what "DM" stands for? Dangerous Music? ;) No Worries @BentFlowers. To answer your question - I don't know because IMO the differences in design between my Camphor burl Eikon and Monkeypod Verite is the deciding factor, far out influencing these wood determined cup resonances/reverbs...

Somewhere here at SBAF Zack mentions this, how the Eikon is very damped and controled (so lots of wool, etc.), and the Verite (Closed in particular) is the opposite. I think that is what one hears mostly. Since I have never compared the same design (either Eikon or Verite C) with differing woods, I can't really say how much the wood matters, though others have said it does to a certain extant...

Fact is, the reverb/resonances with the VC, particularly in the vocal region, too often bothers me and I wish it was better controlled/damped like the Eikon, maybe not as far however...
