Oak is for furniture, Ash is for Louisville Sluggers. Popular Wisdom.
Oak Means Mission which has always been popular and it means kitchen cabinets. The grain is just right. Ash has a much more pronounced, "busier" grain and never caught on. Also harder and more difficult to work back in the days of hand tools.
For a clean lined project like a speaker the grain should be fine.
