After 2 years of owning Monitor Audio Mr2 speakers ( bought from a fellow hifivision member), I got a reason to open up one speaker as one of the cable binding screw posts broke and wanted to check if it was replaceable. Cabinet bracing is done to the middle of the speaker enclosure. Surprisingly there is not much damping inside the walls, except for a piece of foam used to partially cover the sides of the walls ( first half of the speaker) right behind the speaker. The behind wall as well as the second half are void of any kind of damping.
I had a piece of thick sofa foam at home so tried modding to damp the insides. I have left the back wall as it is. I'm noticing considerable improvement in mids, tighter bass, slight improvement in depth.
Is there any scope for more modding with damping the insides further with more foam or materials and with the cross over components?
Here are the pics.
